![]() It is not only the lens, the camera body, the lights, but it’s a mix (pun intended) of everything. There’s a bunch of factors that plays a role, devices both hw or digital, skills and know-how involved to have a “finished” product. RonaldOf course as you know in your own field of expertise, there no lucky 1 item to make the perfect shot. Outboard compressors sound totally different than their ITB counterparts, and I prefer them. For certain problem cases I also have Drawmer 1973 (often highly appreciated by musicians when I use it very affordable as well) and TK BC2-ME. In many of my mixes it ends up being used though, as well as the RND MBP. Of course a good Vari-Mu, such as the Knif, is even more polished and subtle sounding, but it's not cheap. ![]() One of the most affordable compressors with a lot of versatility for classical is the Elysia Xpressor. What works in pop also works in classical/acoustic, although it should be applied with a lot more care in the latter category. Rough dynamic edges can be ironed out, which helps with the sense of musical control that you expect from professional players. Sometimes no compression is called for, but often a little of it can just lift the entire experience of listening to something that is more pleasing to the ear. ![]() I keep a small herd of compressors, so I can always find one that fits my needs best, also in classical music mixes. Could they also help as much in a classical music mix? Or could I get more or less the same result with a good plugin.Ĭan you recommend plugins or hardware for this task, which is still affordable. I am often impressed by sound examples of hardware mastering compressors (specially tube gear like Thermionic Phoenix, Manley Vari mu, Knif Vari mu) in a pop/rock context.įor Jazz, i can imagine, that they would help as well. I am curious, what you guys use in similar situations? Do you mix in the box including some mastering compressor plug ins, or do you use outboard gear for that last touch up. I read a lot about using a mastering compressor for the last touch for glue, warmth, etc. My recordings never get mastered by a pro mastering engineer, I mix my recordings and try to make them sound best, regarding the quality of the performance, the rooms ands all other circumstances, my abilities. I am a professional photographer, also doing video and sound recording mainly for music students, choirs, classical ensembles and jazz bands.
