What's your favourite compressor tool?

Although I think Logic Compressor does a fairly nice job and can be useful in many occasions, I'm now looking to expand my dynamics department.
I'd like to know what's your favourite compressor and why?
I quite like the Sonalksis SV-315. what's your opinion on that?
Plus I'm looking for something similar to the Jomeek SC2 Photo Optical Compressor that is available for pro-tools. Any suggestions?
Your help is very much appreciated.

I was about to start a new thread asking about the nomad factory plug ins, but I figured I'd ask it here since it's related and you're already talking on the topic.
so I've been getting into work on my new MBP.. enjoying it so far. one thing I knew I'd miss on this machine was my UAD plugs. I've got the sonalksis plugs which are giving me some reliable eq and dynamics. but I really want more choice than just the logic comp and one other one.. I'm really missing the UAD 1176 and LA2A here.
same goes for EQ and other (ok I'll say it..) 'vintage' sounding effects. I guess quality stuff with character is what I'm after.
so I'm thinking about nomad factory (they seem to have UBs available) and also URS (even though I hate ilok authorized plugs)..
is anyone using this stuff? I have used the URS before and was loving the neve EQs. but have only ever barely used nomad on a friend's setup once years ago. I don't recall thinking it was bad sounding at all, but I was always under the impression it was a little down-market. the prices don't seem all that downmarket to me though..
opinions? thoughts? I'll prob try a couple of demos, but I'd love some feedback too.
btw I'm ruling out waves. I fell off the waves registered user bandwagon back in OS9 days and frankly haven't felt drawn back. do their plug ins still not offer tempo sync, or precise control on exactly what incremental setting you want (for delay in MS, as an example)? and do they still block logic keycommands when their editor is open?

  • What's your favourite game on the Sony PlayStation?

    My favourite game has to be Street Fighter Alpha 3. One of the best beat em up games I ever played! Loved the World Tour mode! Soundtrack and gameplay was top notch. Shame Capcom has no plans for Street Fighter Alpha 4. So what's your favourite game on the Sony PlayStation? 

    Seems like one of those questions that always gets asked to open a debate but find that everyone has already answered countless times.  Nevermind though, as a newbe I'll give it a go. Not an easy one to answer.  I like Fifa 2002 and of course Grand Turismo 2 plus Driver. Recently found a couple of games in a skip and in our local library about 40 PS1 games in their CD recycling box.  Still trying to find manuals for them.

  • Read, Touch, Latch, Write, MIDI, what's your favourite ?

    Just curious ...
    This question may seem dumb because every mode has its use, but what's the mode you use the most, that is set to default on your tracks, and why ?

    Here's the secret (I learned it by trial and error): You can copy and paste commands within the Controller Assignments window. As well, you can have more than one action performed with a control button press. Have your controller do a mode switch. In that mode, the same button can perform a different command. So, what I did was have the touch button go into touch mode and reassigned the touch button to switch to latch mode by copying and pasting the command within the touch mode area and reassigned the midi code of the command. I then pasted the read/off command in the latch area and reassigned the midi code. Pressing the buttons on my ProjectMix now gives me the desired results.

  • What's your favourite audio CD burn speed?

    I burn CD's with Waveburner but have been doing it old-school at 10x speed. I have to burn a lot and was wondering if people are burning at max speed or what the current thinking is.
    Thanks

    That depends so much on the medium and CD writer that there is no general rule. Find a medium that works well as an audio CD in typical audio CD players and check it with your CD writer - by burning and verifying some sessions. There's also software for professional testing out there that you'll find with google. Also look for medium recommendations for your specific hardware.
    Cheers,

    It depends on what I am working on, and what works for my ear at a certain moment. The good news is, SCULPTURE is the best module when it comes to both flavors. Both emulations are crystal clear, and as close as it gets to reality. But!
    When it comes to a track that requires an acoustic guitar, I don't fool myself, I call in a guitar player.

  • What is your favourite design publication in DPS? (poll)

    I propose to use this post, like a poll, for forum people…
    I will start:

    techboy,
    I'm pleased to share it. The method behind the entire project is described here www.milibrodelasletras.com as well as a link to the code for the writing/drawing canvas (hint: it's the HTML5 canvas tag). Additionally, it has been added to Bob Bringhurst's free iPad app, DPS Tips, and finally included in the DPS cookbook.
    One regret I have about the project is that it is difficult to find a place on the page titled "Juego" - where I have the letter matching game - to swipe to the final acknowledgents page. I think that many people never make it there, and that is where I provide links for all of the content creation.
    Best,
