I dunno...with all of Jules' ranting about not really needing to hit digital with compression I was considering just using the UAD-1 DSP card's 1176 powered plug-in.

Looks fairly powerful. |
Sometimes comperssion is used for tone, not just to keep form having overs.
The UAD1 does seem cool if you use a DAW. If I get a DAW some day I'll probablly get one.

But yes, I'm also interested in pre-comp. I thought about getting a Manley VoxBox or something similar...but dear god that's starting to get grossly overbudget. Perhaps a used Voxbox? Doesn't seem like lots of people are actually aching to give one up though - and not for a cheap price for that matter.

The pre in the VoxBox is really nice, so is the EQ. The compressor takes a bit of getting used to. I like the way it reacts to tape better than mics sometimes. They ain't cheap, but they're nice. I think I'll keep mine.

I'm really at a loss about the API and other module style channel strips - I have no idea what to look for...or what is generally "good" sounding and why.

Only you can answer that.
