One of the reasons the Fairchild is desirable is because it can compress the crap out of something without actually sounding compressed. It also has a nice color to it.
If you were using an 1176, you would actually hear it doing something, because that compressor does something different that is more apparent than the fairchild.
And that is a wonderful thing!
Sorry to continually jack this thread. I should know better...but.
I am thinking now and have been for a while of getting a couple Distressors. I have had great experience with them in much better studios than my simple cave. They too had the ability of compressing shit to oblivion without actually hearing it.
Anyway, a free UAD1 card is up for grabs.
Sorry for taking your thread off track again Spottydog10.
