I know this question must be asked daily, but I thought I'd give this a shot.
I record and mix in Ableton, doing house / filtered disco, which is fine.
However instead of staying ITB - I now have the chance to sit in, get stuck in with mastering my tracks in a professional studio with SSL desk and hardware outboard.
Back in the 90s I had a Soundcraft Ghost desk (which I used to run my DAW through the channels and EQ's for more headroom) and then stick a single compressor on the master (3630 / or Drawmer DL241) for that pumpin' dance master sound / French pump.
Now I know some compressors are aggressive and perfect for this, and others are very transparent. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas on the following (maybe just picking one to push the master track through)
EL FATSO
UA 1176 (2)
Smart Research C2
Tube Tech CL1B
Crane Song HEDD
SPL Kultube
SPL Dynamaxx
SPL Transient Designer
SPL Charisma
Focusrite Compounder
I always thought it may have been the C2 as this pumps a little?
I know I can try them, but time is money, so just wanted an opinion as to what to stay away from.
Also I could do this to the mixed / unmastered stereo 2-track (through desk channels and a Compressor) OR take seperate stems and mix that way individually ?
Any thoughts, as its been a while since coming out of the DAW into a desk
