Hey y'all,
I record mostly analog and am looking at getting another compressor. At the moment, I have 5 channels of compression:
(2) DBX 163x (modded)
(1) DOD R-825 (slightly modded)
(1) Alesis Micro Limiter (stereo unit)
I almost don't really count the Micro Limiter as a standard compressor because I really only like it for the color it imparts when you hit it really hard. I almost never use it for standard level-control compression.
Anyway, I enjoy the DBX's a lot for tracking, and the DOD is serviceable in that department as well. I have about $200 to spend, and I'm looking at getting one more stereo (or dual mono) compressor that I can possibly use on the master buss as well as tracking.
Here are some that I'm considering:
Symetrix 525 (with Revive Audio mod - PSU, Burr Brown in/out, etc.)
FMR RNC
FMR RNLA
Art Pro VLA II
Any other glaring options that I'm missing?
I'd just like to hear from people that have some experience with these units.
Thanks much for any suggestions.
