Okay, so this is a very broad question. I currently have one dual channel compressor (a Behringer Tube Composer). I use it for almost everything: Vocals, bass, drums, sometimes guitar. I don't hate the sound and I don't really love anything about it, it just sounds alright to me.
Anyway, I need some more compressors. At the moment I can only compress two tracks at once in the mix which is really annoying so I need some more channels.
The thing I'm wondering about though is which one to get. I want something better than the Behringer but I don't know which instrument/vocal would be the best to improve (i.e. should I get something that's good for vocals, drums, bass or maybe one that's okay on everything). As I said, I don't hate the sound of the Behringer.
The compressors I've been looking at are the ART VLA and the DBX 166. I also looked at the FMR RNC but I'm a bit put off by only having one channel.
Basically, which one do you think would make the best addition to my set-up?
Thanks
James
