![]() Two well-known compressors that fall under these categories are the 1176 and the LA-2A. The great thing about the Comprexxor is it has its own sound but it does fairly well emulating both FET and Opto Compressors. Well, now we have access to a software version we can use within T-RackS, thanks to IK. ![]() From there, I had to reconfigure my ratio and release. It was pushing forth everything, just lifting whispers and breaths. Then I saw the Nuke button! I hit that button and the vocals were just smashed so beautifully, present. I routed the Distressor through the patchbay so that I could monitor the audio before committing and I was getting some good color, but the vocal was varying too much throughout the take, too much dynamics. ![]() My goal was to print the pre-recordings (vocals) through the compressor in hopes of hearing something amazing. I had never seen this compressor before, but to me, it looked cool. Long story short, I choose the EL8-X Distressor. ![]() I understood dynamic range, and controlling dynamics but didn’t know a lot about hardware compressors. At the time, I knew enough to be a little dangerous. I fell in love with this compressor in college when I had an opportunity to work with a friend recording an Americana Band.įor our assignment, we each had to present our own mix of the song(s) recorded. If I had to choose one compressor to use for an entire project I would have to choose the Distressor. IK Multimedia finally gave us a Distressor Emulation, The T-RackS Comprexxor! I can honestly say this was unexpected, and about damn time.
