Stereo Drum Bus Compressor/Limiter

[Recording Engineer]

So what compressor and/or limiter do you guys generally use on a stereo drum bus, regardless on the style of music?

Which for a more "budget" focus?
Which when $$$$ is not much of a big concern?

I kinda like the SSL 4000G+ channel compressors on drums
Two 1176 in stereo is also really nice for anything

im not a fan of the 1176 on a mix bus, but they sound awesome on snares and vocals. but mix bus...i duno.depends what you're after i guess.

Maybe you're right. Usually I don't have the luxury of using two 1176 on a drum bus anyway. They're almost always inserted on vocals and bass. But if I had enough 1176s I would probably use them on everything Love them.
