Anyone Running One Of The 4 Channels Compressors? Options

[Drifta]

Heya all,

I saw something on the web the other day that I thought was interesting. I'm sure they've been around for 1000 years but they're new to me. Several companies have a 4 channel 1U compressor available. How convenient! Have any you tried any of these or are any of you using one of these? I'd be very interested to know how you like it, how it behaves, and how well the basic functions of a compressor/limiter/gate are implemented in your particular unit.


cheers,

I think this kind of gear falls into you-get-what-you-pay-for. Presonus makes an eight channel compressor that's very good. I think it fits into 2 rack spaces. And then again, Alesis makes a 1 unit 2 channel compressor that is pretty lame. dbx makes a 1u 2 channell compressor that's pretty good and won't break the bank.
