I use a Focusrite Compouder, unless I want to side chain. It has a bass expand option which kind of acts like a filter allowing some of the bottom end to get by the compressor. Me likes it a lot

Bless your little cotton socks.....I feel the love.
Well I am curious. Everything is relative? wouldn't you agree?
And well a Compouder is hardly bragging now is it? Its a budget product.
But at the end of the day if your making an A/B comparison on 2 products, we need to know what your monitoring chain is and what kinda material you used the equipment with. Other wise its not really helping anyone is it? |

Why would you try to have an intelligent conversation here? You arrogant asshole.
 You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |

Well that was sarcasm..I think you should just be a little less defensive. I don't understand why you have a problem with d2, he's just trying to help.

Well if you didn't jump in there so quick you might learn a basic fundamental of engineering/production.
You did this yesterday as well and then apologized. ...and all did was try and help you understand something......I spent quite a bit of time doing it as well.
So you can imagine I am a little shocked that you would do it again so quickly.......and Kane I really don't understand why you are jumping in.
If you telling me the GranComp does the same as a Compouder means nothing to me. I need an anchor point. A reference, something to give me a bearing on things. This is the most fundamental part of engineering and mixing to me. The number one mistake in my view. When ever I mix a track I calibrate the playback level to a known standard. I will listen to reference tracks. This gives me an anchor.....and more importantly one I can return to......Especially important on long sessions. With out an anchor you can get lost and mess up a whole mix. Everything is relative.
Now someone I don't know. Don't know what their experience level is. Don't know what they use. When they tell me something like you did, I need to quantify it. Otherwise it means nothing to me.....If someone claims I can save money by selling my Compouder and downloading something that will do the same then obviously I am interesting. But I want to know what equipment they came to that conclusion with. That way I can relate it possibly with my experiences and actually give value to your statement for my own sake.
So that makes me an asshole hey?
I am quite surprised at how sensitive people are here!!! I frequent other forums and quite frankly things are a little less mature here.
But I don't really want to get sucked into that. That's not what I am here for. And i don't want to tar everyone with the same brush either as I have met a few nice people already.
Kane I have already Pm'ed you. Maybe we can discuss things there, rather that piss on our own doorsteps.

Well I sold my compounder also as i bought UAD 1e Extreme pack - A combination of several plugins do the job much better than my Compounder did.
System (for D2 with whome i agree)
RME FF 800
adam A7`s
Cubase 4
I wouldnt use Multiband Compression on basslines personnally, i prefer to leave by basslines as uncompressed as i can, i try to get the best sound i can by using just the synth, but if i must i will use 1176 or something similar from my UAD. I never boost bass frequencies etc, just tighten it up.

I have had a look at the plug-in and it doesn't do exactly what the Compouder does.
I track vocals. drums, guitar, bass etc. A lot of the plug ins haven't stood up to it for me.
I am interested in them though as keeping it in the box will avoid a stage of DAC and ADC. |
