bus compressors

[mr harrison]

just realized that besides the usual S*L theres not that many bus compressor options in nebula land. i have the g2500 but those million presets are rather confusing. what are you guys using?

Cupwise Flucti Mew is great on 2buss @ http://www.cupwise.com/fx/shop/flucti-m ... orlimiter/

I mostly use Acqua Lime Comp C and Sand.

if we're talking mix bus, nothing for me. i have a great mastering engineer, and we have an agreement. lol!

as for drums, music and vocal buses, alex's fenix is a regular go-to. vari-level, sum100 or blu mu as well. titanium and aquamarine have been used a few times. i tend to use the 4kd gcomp only in situations in which i've used the entire 4k bundle, but it is indeed great. haven't had a chance to use the pearl compressor yet, but i plan on giving it a whirl in the next week.

hope that helps!

Cupwise Flucti-Mu might have the best response/tone in Nebula land. AlexB Chandly LTD Germanium, Fenix Red and ElyX Comp have great tone but not the best compression action (though still useable). Most of TimPs stuff is off on color to me (Sum100 and Blue-Mu), but the newer STA-Level could work if heavy color was fitting.

If you're open to Acqua...
For me Lime C and Coral have been my favorites! Pearl is great if the color is right... Aquamarine can also be wonderful if a slightly more colorful choice is desired. Sand and Pink can do more aggressive timed stuff well, but I'm often finding that I prefer Lime and/or Coral. I've used both Pink and titanium for multiband work and have had great success with both when needed. Titanium being more natural sounding and Pink more heavy handed. It's truly incredible to have these tones in the box! Most of these have demos, so give them a whirl!

Ultramarine is almost my goto. With Lime C second.

[mr harrison]

thanks for the info, some good recommendations! i´m leaning towards nebula libraries simply because of the big price difference. i think i´ll give flucti mu a try!

Coral and Pearl2 - this two do the work. Coral in most cases - very versatile

How's that on vocals?
