The Transient Designer is designed to have comlete control over the punch. In fact it has more contol that a compress has becuase a compressor must have a low enough threshold to create gain reduction in order to have punch. A TD can add punch at any dynamic.


Once you get a hold of a TD your questions will be answered in about 30 seconds.

I think you'l find that buss compression is adequate for any dynamic control and you won't need any in series on an instert with the TD.
