Well, I spent some more time with this comp and think
it can sound very good on drum overheads. It seems to
need a DX/VST pad inserted to allow the inputs to stay clean.
After doing so it got controllable and the auto setting (the fastest
one) was great for the track I worked with. =20
Overall I would say it sounds somewhat like a La2a with control. It has =
that
color to it to my ear even though it's not a tube device. It is faster
but less forgiving. On overheads it takes some tweaking. I will
be checking it out on a mix soon. I only have nine days left.
I'm getting more interested in the Waves SSL plugs now. It's between
$569 for a UAD Flexi-pak, $600+ for Waves SSL 4000 or $1,500 for the SSL
Duende. Right now I'm leaning toward the Waves.
Anyone know if Paris will even work with it?

I tried the Neve 33609 comp/limiter on overheads. I hadn't read the =

so I missed some of the key features. I switched to a 1176 and got =
better results.
Now that I have read the manual, I think the auto settings (program =
dependent=20
attack/release times) might be the ticket. There is no attack time =
control so that=20
really made it hard to use with overheads for me. The headroom switch =
combined=20
with the auto settings will be what I experiment with tomorrow. =20
I'm guessing it wouldn't be a well rounded Mastering comp either. =
Great=20
for that colored sound though. I'll give it another go tomorrow on
overheads and on a mix. I'm planning on learning it before I dis it.
At this stage I'd say the SSL 2 bus comp would be better for me I =

Too bad I can't get that in software or can I?
