Hi all
In the last 12 months or so I’ve begun summing OTB through a SW 1280b, and am really happy with the results. With only 12 channels, I usually send the main vox & bass out as mono sends, and send the rest as busses – drums, guitars, keys, etc, with all effects, processing, etc, ITB.
My DAW is DP7 and, apart from DP’s bundled plugs, I also have SSL’s Duende and a bunch of other 3rd party plugs
I have though recently been considering using hardware compressors, but as my budget is limited, at first I really can’t afford to splash out on high-end gear. Probably I’m look at something like FMR Audio’s RNC, or some of the cheaper DBX units. Maybe an Art Pro VLA?
My question is, am I going to achieve an improvement with this approach or am I better off sticking with plugins?
What do you think?
Thanks, Mike
