Bss Dpr 901

I don't own one yet, but I'd like to. It's used for frequency-selective compression. I've noticed many pro studios seem to have one or two listed in their equipment lists. I first came across it from Bob Clearmountain's site. He claims that for vocals " it's like cheating".

The retail here in the UK is £875 though I think it can be found a lot cheaper.
 
It is alittle pricey. I asked over at gearsl.... and someone said it was peaky... maybe useable for snare??
Then recommended a TC DBMAX, way outa my league.
It does seem to be a staple around pro studios, being used as tracking correctors... if you get what I'm saying.

Is this a true 4 band comp? or would it be wiser to get separate units.

Maybe you know this already, but I just wanted to make sure that you know that there is a difference between a 4 BAND compressor and a 4 CHANNEL compressor. A 4 band compressor will split one audio signal into 4 parts: bass, lowmid, highmid, and highs and let you compress one part of the signal (eg. only the bass) while leaving the other parts untouched, or compress each frequency band to a different degree.

Exactly, yeah !! Originally I was looking at TC Triple C-as in 3 band, but does NOT do multi band comp. Another words you can't tweak each band seperately, only high & low. I've tried side chaining to comp the frequencies intended, but is not working. Or should I say its a PITA
