Compression-

[strungout]

I'm sorting out my new home studio and what I should buy....yada yada...thinkin' about Sonar or Reason as my software.

My question is:

Which would have the best compressor for vocals and distorted guitar- Sonar, Reason, or spend $100-$150 on a compression rack piece?


Thanks

sonar 6 producer has an excellent compressor, Waaaaaay better than a $150 rack unit. It's called VC64. Well worth the extra bucks to have it included.
It is a kick ass channel strip that can be set up tons of different ways.


F.S.

Seein' how this IS the Cakewalk forum......I think we can all agree Sonar has a better product. You can't really buy any vocal compressor worth a nickle for $150. Software compressors are power hungry and not capable (yet) of matching a great hardware unit, but those of us on a home recording budget make do.

Gads. You make it sound like we're just 'eeking by with these freakin awesome tools we have at our finger tips these days.
Do new Caker's get to get in on the Timeworks comp? That's another great one.
