Ok, so maybe it's the overflow of gravy in my gut hitting my head. But I'm thinking of a significant studio shift/streamline.. but want some Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor owners to chime in if they could be so kind.
I've gotten to the point where I'm really getting closer to being in the box. BUT in the process of this, I'm still finding that I really like a great outboard 2 buss comp at the end. A big fan of the Obsidian and was thinking of adding that to the mix... but just had a crazy thought after being blown away by the SHMC.
I could pass on the Obsidian, and relinquish a couple of my other comps.. then the SHMC's hefty price tag might not seem all that outlandish if it essentially becomes my main comp. I'm a multi-instrumentalist, but the only things I'm really tracking with outboard comps is Voice, Bass and Acoustic Guitar. To this point I've been using a Retro Doublewide, an API525, and sometimes an 1176. I recognize this is a good assortment of flavor, but would I be missing any of these if I had the SHMC's versatility for the above (given that it has both comp modes?)
I mean, I tend to double up vocal tracking with an opto and a fet more often than not, the acoustics are usually just touched with the 525, and Bass I certainly squish the heck out of.. but usually only in the mix.
I'd love to get a users input who has used the SHMC for tracking as well to give me some insight as to whether I'm just getting nuts or if this might make sense. I realize having more comps for the mix would provide different flavors, but I'm trying to simply in the box a bit and was thinking this could be justification for plunking down the cash :)
Thoughts?

Am I crazy to think? Shadow Hills MC.
