More 70s-80s-stylee. It is a really great piece of hardware nonetheless! With parallell compression you have to be aware that you could get unwanted peaks from the original uncompressed source, so maybe the slightest bit of peak limiting on the original track is a good idea. Agree on that, Beya? Haven't done it much myself... This post has been edited by abcdaniel: Thu 24 Nov 2005, 12:21
