Peak limiter - off

Bearly registering on the meters.

In = great
Bypass = less great

In this configuration I find it a genuine 'glue' and it's perceived effect on the music doesn't seem to fall into any previously experienced dynamic control category.

In other words, it's subtle.. but great!

(hey Dave & Scott, you can use that!)

Hey Jules, I can't decide between the stc-8 and the api 2500 Do you use the stc-8 on instruments very much or just leave it patched to mix buss?
If you leave it on the mix buss, do you monitor while tracking or do you monitor off another set of outputs?
I've not used hardware comps on the mix buss before so I'm curious about whether folks leave them on all the time,even while tracking? I do like that the stc-8 has separate controls, while api has one set. Thanks
