hey
recently i had a "cool " mixing session
http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=43114.0
after that mixing session I realized that
1 compressor is really never not enough!
in that mixing session (
while premix regulations)
i did all the tests that could (
before the arrival of chief engineer)
i checked various compressors
m-an-ley va-rimu , t-ube - te-ch cl ,
g-ml 8900 , l-a2a (original), 33609-jd,
ap-i 2500, (unfortunately no u-rei on the racks slides),
and "obviously" I noticed that each compressor
has something different from other ,
about sound and "effect" on the sound ,
i noticed also which depends on the type of music or track
you want to process.
for the little experience I have
i know that in the mastering, if the tracks are mixed well,
usually uses a lightweight compressor,
however it provides the possibility to make fine adjustments ,
while in a radio station the voice of the speaker's have a bit heavy compression ,
then I personally believe that a good setup must have
at least 3 or 4 compressors ,
to be able to optimize the final result
peace
(all over)

I am thinking of making a stereo compressor particularly for the mix buss. To glue my mixes together or to mix to during mixdown.
Anyone have any comments on these builds for these duties or recommend other DIY builds that could cater for what I am looking for?
Pros and cons over one unit over the other for these duties?
