| only comp i ever liked much on OHs was a joemeek SC2... mainly because it clamps down and gets dark when the meathead starts bashing the cymbals like a muppet. long attack, release at 2.3 (magic spot for overshoot), make the meter pump
bringing the attenuator down and cranking the gain on a stereo DW Fearn mic pre is cool too

Part of our aim has always been to destroy the sound in a beautiful way. It doesn't mean we expect everyone would like it. I'm not sure we will ever get there... but the whole point of making music is at least to aim at your own idea of perfection." -- Boards of Canada |
