Distressor compressor

Out of Kick2. Do I feel something is needed after Kick2 by dialing in compression? Not very often.Sometimes blend real kicks with Kick2.On the acoustic kick end, UAD Fatso, API, 1176s, Distressor, and when messing with transients or getting crazy, Sonox Envolution. If my objective is simply to tame a basic transient, then any transient tool can work, but if going beyond just that...then the Envolution.And don't forget whatever you have in your DAW. Some have become very good, even if you don't care for the GUI.

So far my go to compressor for kick drums is the CL1176. No question, very versatile compressor...but after having tried the UA Neve 2254

Starts to pump too much. Just hitting it a bit, though, is quite Distressor like, but so is hitting it hard (10dB plus). On Fatso, use tracking comp mode, HP in the detector (120Hz, normally). Start with Warm 3. Try others - they get more aggressive, or more "warm", depending on the setting. Use transformer. #8 So, the General Purpose compressor on the FATSO isn't like the optical section of the Distressor?Does using the HP in the detector help to get more of the Distressor-like compression knee? #9 I'm getting very close to the sound of a hardware Distressor in extreme settings with the UAD 1176 REV E plug-in alone. They can sound very similar.I actually just posted this comparison vid today comparing the two: UAD 1176 Plug-ins vs EL Hardware Distressors - YouTubeLet me know what you think. very close, nothing an eq wont fix. #10 I saw that in my other thread.What about in combination with the FATSO? I'd think that help to be way closer. Sorry! I didn't realize you had started both threads. My demo period of the Fatso is over so I can't add the Fatso into the mix. For me, the 1176 REV E can get me close enough to my Distressors in extreme settings, so much so that I can't really tell the difference. Trying to add a Fatso into the mix probably wouldn't help in this case. @Erol - 4 mono REV E instances were used only. The settings for all tracks

Than UA reissue or Distressor.still, Diztressor is useful when studio lacks choice of comps (I sold mines). Registered User Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 115 🎧 10 years I have to wonder how many who say the Dragon sounds more like an 1176 have actually heard a late 70s black face 1176 that has been kept in good working order. I have not heard the Dragon and it looks like a very cool box but have no clue whether the comments from the sales guy or the other poster are based on every day use of the genuine article or based on the hearsay from a marketing department Registered User Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,426 🎧 15 years I regret selling my MC77 for many of the reasons already stated. I regret not selling a distressor instead, although I certainly find the distressor to be a perfectly useful compressor. Registered User Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 434 🎧 15 years I have and mix on a console with 2 Distressors, MC77s, Cranesong STC8, DBX 160s, LA2A, Allan Smart C1 ect. My friend a studio owner bought new Dragons. Well one first then another the next day after we A/B the Dragons with all comps mentioned above. Those Dragons just did everything better and sounded unbelievable. They have so many switching options on them, you can make those things sound better that anything you put them up against. I bet soon that mastering guys will get hooked on these dragons for thier versitile sounds and purity of how clean they can also be.Those Dragons are just crazy, I never heard a compressor as versitle and have so many world class sounds. I love em.Honestly if anyone can get a there hands on a Dragon please try them out and compare em to what

Lives for gear Joined: Dec 2005 🎧 15 years Building a Compressor Arsenal from Scratch... Part Two. Hey all,First I wanted to thank those who helped out with my previous compressor arsenal thread. I took all of the comments to heart, but especially the suggestion that I try to get different "types of compressors" -- ie. a vari-mu, an opto, and a FET, for example.My current plans are much different than they used to be. I'm thinking:1. Thermionic Phoenix2. Tube Tech CL1B3. Portico 5043 *OR* Daking FET II4. Distressor w/Brit ModIf anyone still has the energy to pipe in and let me know if there seems to be any overlap, that would be great. I'm seeing the Tube Tech as working well on vocals (I had originally planned for an LA2A, but I hear the Tube Tech improves on it in a way). The Phoenix could be used on tons of things, but especially drum bus and mix bus. The other two would cover the rest of my bases.Would love to hear further suggestions. By thursday, the orders will be placed. :-) Thanks!! Lives for gear Joined: Sep 2003 🎧 20 years Quote: Originally Posted by Matthew Murray ➡️ My current plans are much different than they used to be.

Curious -- which one of those would likely bear the brunt of vocal duties? My list is the result of ages (far too long, actually) of waffling around and hearing different takes on various compressors .. and I think I'm fairly certain I want at least 3 of those 4. What I'm looking for now is advice with regard to whether or not there is too much overlap in any of them. Ie -- is the phoenix a good enough vox compressor that we shouldn't get the tube tech for vocals? Or does the TT still

Our Audio Consultants and Technicians have years of real-world experience and are ready to help. Product Description Besides providing a wide range of control and a unique feature set, the Empirical Labs Distressor EL8-S Compressor/Limiter Pair offers a warm, vintage sound by using a custom designed gain control circuit. This “warmth” or “vintage sound” has become a major issue in the last few decades, as the super clear and linear digital technology does next to nothing to soften “harsh” sounds, nor emphasize the bass frequencies in music sources. Conversely, older analog tape, vinyl records and tube equipment could not be prevented from coloring the sound, often to the frustration of recording engineers. However, many people now realize that this coloring can be extremely pleasant and musical. Digital technology is often referred to as “cold” and “brittle” among other terms.Unique Compression CurvesAll eight of the Distressor’s curves are unique and distinctive, from the 1:1 mode that simply warms up signal with low order harmonics without intentional compression, to the “Nuke” setting – a brick wall limiting curve that shines on live drum room mics. Each curve has its own personality and several actually use different circuitry, and are effectively different compressors. Most exceptional is the 10:1 “Opto” ratio which uses separate detector circuitry to emulate the oldest (and valued) “light controlled” devices, such as the LA-2A.Distortion (Color) ModesAnother large part of the Distressor’s personality and power derive from three modes that color the signal, even without compression. These extended audio modes were designed to allow emulation of some very old and expensive vintage compressors & limiters, and let the Distressor deliver a classic “knee” sound all its own by providing user programmable, warm harmonic distortion. In addition to the basic distortion mode, Distort 2 emphasizes tube-like 2nd order harmonics, while in Distort 3 setting the distortion becomes dominated by 3rd harmonics more closely resembling tape. Two HP filters – one in the audio path, one in the detector path – are also available to help with low frequencies that can cause pumping and breathing.Go StereoFor many Distressor owners, one is never enough – in fact, one extremely successful engineer has twelve of them! For those who want (at least) a stereo pair, ELI offers the EL8-S, a pair of Distressors that are matched at the factory, and come with the cables you need to lock them together. If
