Only hardware, right? No suggestions there. If you want to talk VST, I have some. Let us know.

did you try any of the UAD-1 compressors...?

Not happy with the compressor in your channel strip? I like it...

Comp only or channel strip?

FMR Really Nice Compressor is GREAT on vocals in 'supernice' mode. Stereo compressor for about 199 UAD new and even less used

what about the new la-3a?

I have several Joe Meek VC6cs that I use for 50% of my vocal work (Hip Hop/Rap, Rock, and some R&B vocals). I have a plethora of choices in pre-amps/compressors, but the Joe Meeks always work when nothing else does.

Most importantly, it always depends on your ear/mic/room/talent before anything else. A great engineer can make any compressor sound good.

I'll 2nd the RNC, just cuz I'm a cheap slut. 8)

But I only care about limiting before printing. After that it's ITB all the way baby!

Hi all,

I can suggest the Cranesong Trakker. This includes the analog emulation of vintage and modern compressors and levellers. Works well.
