Re: A drum bus compressor odyssey
if you ever run across one, I always thought the Fostex 3070 was a pretty fun little unit too. It's a VCA compressor and noise gate that used to go for dirt cheap (I think I paid $50 or something). And it's stereo/2-channel. I used to use one on kick/snare sometimes. it can smack pretty good in a lo-fi kinda way.

Re: A drum bus compressor odyssey
I'll second that and add the Alesis Micro Limiter to the list. It's almost a stomp box but is often awesome.numberthirty wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 8:32 pmHey...
Voice of TOMB past here.
Remember the Alesis Modfx Smashup? Heck, you might even have one knocking around somewheres...
Those last two modes on the bottom?
From memory, those will occasionally toss you a rope when you are painted into that "WWTBD?..." corner.
I would often run that on the drum bus and a second Kick-Snare bus through a Sta-Level.

Re: A drum bus compressor odyssey
It sounds like the 501s are doing it. I did a TON of records with a smashed RNC drum parallel (the key here is don't use really nice mode).
I'm pretty much only using an analog bus comp these days, even using plugins for drum parallel... I'm so ashamed
