Q. Should I EQ before or after compression? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Typically, corrective EQ, where you pull down problem frequencies or dramatically reshape a sound, is better performed before compression — that way the compressor is acting on something like the wanted signal — and arguably most of this could best be achieved long before you actually start mixing! I’ve seen lots of different advice lately about whether it’s best to put an EQ before a compressor or after it. Some EQ before, while other people say that means the compressor will just be fighting y
Drawmer OC1 & FC1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These new modules from British veterans Drawmer look similar, but internally they’re very different beasts. We check out Drawmer’s take on two classic compressor topologies. Drawmer aren’t new to the 500 series: they’ve long offered the DS101 version of their famous gate; and last year they unveiled the MQ‑1 and MQ‑2, a pair of modules inspired by the famous Motown EQ and which perform well without costing the Earth. But the latest additions to their range, the OC1 and the FC1, are the British c
Dangerous Music BAX (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dangerous Music’s BAX EQ earned an enviable reputation. Now there’s both a 500‑series version and, in a partnership with dynamic‑convolution pioneers Acustica, a new, official plug‑in emulation. I have real respect for Dangerous Music’s hardware. Whether it be performing analogue summing, D‑A conversion or processing, everything of theirs I’ve owned or had in for review has not only sounded superb, but has measured well too. Very well, in fact. Chief designer Chris Muth has achieved some extraor
Franklin Audio MP-10 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve looked at a few Franklin Audio devices now, and they’ve all been impressive — practical problem‑solvers that do just enough different that they should be able to find their own niche in the pro audio market. They’re all designed and made in Australia, and everything I’ve seen to date has been housed in simple, robust and roadworthy boxes, whose white labels are easy to read against the black metalwork. The latest Franklin device to make its way to me is their MP‑10, which is a mic preamp wi
Solid State Logic Odyssey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The legendary British console makers have a new flagship model for pro studios. Highly configurable. Mightily impressive. Is this the future of analogue? SSL have a rich and storied history and, naturally, they draw on that in the design and promotion of products today. Notably, their 4000- and 9000-series consoles were particularly influential, and not just in terms of visual impact. The ‘4K’, as it’s often known, was the first commercially available large console to feature both dynamics proce
