outboard compressors
Looking for a general purpose workhorse outboard compressor, s/h and cheap. The 3 I'm considering are the alesis 3630, behringer composer pro, and dbx 266xl or an older dbx, assuming it has the same flexibility. I'm sure there are people who have owned one or all of these at some point, so lets hear some opinions/recommendations! I've never owned a h/w compressor before so I will be using this for everything - limiting, gating, compression on all sorts of material, special effects, vocal compression, side chaining, ducking, de-essing, you name it. I hope to use this to learn and get a firm grasp on just what can be accomplished with a compressor.
