The 3632 Compressor keeps the same impressive metering of the 3630, the sidechain feature allows you to add compression in effects loops and ducking. You use this feature to trigger compression when you want it, a second internal sidechain has a switchable low-cut filter to help control pumping from heavy bass. Unusually the 3632...
Overall, I say go with this if you have some sort of a decent budget. They have been making this unit for over 15 years and they don’t plan on stopping. So you will always have the support for it, not to mention the warranty that you get through Summit I think it’s a few years. So you have nothing to worry about with your investment. it’s a pro...
Overall, this gear will work great for you. But I wouldn’t get it in today’s world with all of the software on the market. Believe me I am a old school guy, I love hardware a lot and still own a lot of hardware. But if I can clean up some space by getting rid of big rack able units I will. This just happened to be one piece that had to go. But t...
What I like most about this unit is....well everything. Excellent sound quality, it's super small and compact, it offers all the basic controls and side chaining (very important for me) with a ratio up to 25 to 1 db, and finally, it's one of the cheapest compressors on the market. You just can't go wrong. I expected to get a pretty decent s...
The original Teletronix LA-3A Audio Leveler made its debut at the 1969 New York AES show. Marking a departure from the tube design of the LA-2A Lev- eling Amplifier, the solid-state LA-3A offered a new sound in optical gain re- duction, with faster attack and release characteristics that were noticeably dif- ferent from its predecessor. Immediat...
The Lansing 438 A has built a reputation for itself as the best deal in pro audio because of the high sound quality and because it is about as cheap as you can get when buying a compressor of ANY quality! It is easy to get a good tone from this and the gain reduction metering is convenient and helpful. I love this compressor because of its high...
I've been using the RSP 2200 for about a year now. I had been previously familiar with the earlier model, which I still prefer to this one. However, it is nice to have 2 channels on this and is convenient when compression stereo pairs. What I like most about this compressor is the clean signal it produces and the amount of flexibility it has in ...
It's good for the money, but because it's made by DBX don't expect it to hold up forever. I have two of these units in my studio, but they'll be replaced with far superior (and far more expensive) dbx compressors soon. Because these aren't very transparent, and during tracking it's easy to miss some of the small details, I would avoid using this...
It's not going to be cheap to get your hands on a Klark Teknik DN 500 , but you're always going to have to pay for quality, and especially when we're talking about a top tier tube limiter. This is a front end piece for your professional or home studio and can be useful all over the map. Most home studio owners won't be able to afford a piece lik...
I've been using the Joemeek SC2.2 for a few years. They are a real cheap option for the home studio owner who wants a few compressors to use for tracking. They sound good and are easy to use, while being quite well built and reliable in terms of it not breaking down. I like this model better than the Joemeek SC2.2 , but they are pretty similar ...
