Shuddering still from the 3630

[WhatdoIknow]

Hey, don't laff, but I just had to have one.....So I took the cheap route.

It served me well as a training aide where I learned a little about compression and gating....If I cranked the knobs, I could hear the effect and see it function via the meters...It's a great training aide and low point comparision device.

I recently gave it away to a guy who does KJ. He wanted something cheap to squash the screamers, so free was in his price range and KJ's deal mostly with deaf, drunk wannabe singers who will never hear it pump.

I see the best use for one as a ducking device, you know when the bartender needs to announce that your car is blocking the fire trucks. It works really well at that.

I'm slowly moving up the food chain. I recently purchased the ART Pro Channel....I must say their built in compressor is much more transparent and even tho it lacks attack/release twistys, it actually works rather well for the money.

Hi. There's a lot of people that have had their 3630's modded by Blacklion Audio that'll say it actually sounds better than the ART after the mod...! ..Might consider getting it back from your friend and have it modded!.. Who would 've thunk it....

You wouldnt notice the diference between a 3630 and an old tube comp if I put a price on it.

You might notice the difference, but I love compressors. I would certainly notice the difference. Its not to say that the 3630 is useless, because if used properly it can still have its uses. However, I prefer to not have to use them.

You registered on this forum just so you could tell us all what compressor snobs we are?? And why should we believe that you are one of the "Big People"??? I've read all two of your posts...... I must be missing something.

Is this how you make your grand entrance to every party you crash?? How original.....

Gee I'm flattered, nice to meet you too.... Thank You so very much for the kind greetings!
