It's that lovely time where my mastering studio is approaching the end of the finacial year and so we're looking at equipment purchases. A couple of you know that we've spent the last few months trialing out a number of different compressors as an alternative to our hardware VCA comp. Well we're nearly there now and have reduced the list to two optical compressors:
A Maselec MLA2 here or a Millenia Twincom TCL2 here Price here isn't really an issue as both are $5000, give or tke a few hundred. An opto compressor would be a nice addition/alternative for us as they tend to be very musical and are particularly good on vocals, bass and guitar. Optos sometimes are a bit slow to cope with very fast transient attacks though these two seem ok and if they can't then the VCA is there. I'm probably going to have a few sleepless nights deciding between the two as they're both rather special for what they can do to a master but at the moment we're edging towards the Maselec. We're also looking at buying a Kush Audio Clairphonic here . The Clariphonic is a parallel EQ that operates as a kind of Baxendale shelving filter and so it would sit alongside our two current mastering EQs, the great River MAQ2NV and our Gyratec XIV. The Clariphonic is about $2500. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
