A friend of mine owns & runs a mastering room. He asked me what was the best way to make a parallel compression device. The idea is to use a pair of 1176 or 160 and blend that sound with the original signal. I do that a lot when I mix on my console and then it´s very easy of course.
He wants the unit to have the shortest signal path possible, no coloration (of the original signal) at all and he wants to have a fader on the unit that controls the blend.
Some kind of summing circuit & gain make up amp would be necessary I guess. How would you construct such a unit? Extremely transparent sound on the original signal is required and it does not have be cheap to build.
Thanks in advance,
Gunnar
