Must have compressor
Steirt 06.01.2021
The distressors are absolutely amazing. Great build quality, many features, very precise recall and most important great sound. They are my favorite compressors for snare, but they shine on basically everything! You can't go wrong investing in distressors for tracking, mixing and live sound!

Klanglich genial und äusserst vielseitger Kompressor. Ich setzte meine Stereogelinkten Distressoren für Parallelkompression, Vocalaufnahmen und Bässe ein.
Toller Sound und eine ordentliche Portion Punch!
Kaufempfehlung mit 5 Ausrufezeichen !!!!!

Ja, die beiden Geräte übertreffen meine Erwartungen.
Ich dachte nicht, dass sie so vielseitig sind. Die Verarbeitung ist super und die Bedienung, wenn man die Basics von Kompressoren kennt ist auch leicht. In der Anleitung sind ein paar gute Tips drin die man zum Start versuchen kann. Danach entscheiden wie immer die Ohren was richtig ist.
Ich habe ihn in der Masteringkette versucht und im Mix, er wird im Mix bleiben, da man dort all seine Features wirklich ausnützen kann. Er hat aber auch beim Mastering voll überzeugt.
Einziges Manko die Gerätestromkabel sind Steckdosenseitig nicht für den europäischen Markt, also Ersatz bereithalten oder einseitig passende Stecker klemmen.
