I generally use a Tube-Tech CL-2A optical compressor before the Phoenix. Not a huge fan of VCA compressors for some reason.

reptil please shoot me!!

ok, after I've shot myself! thumbsup

It's more of a soft limiter than a compressor anyway..with big balls.

As I said , Phoenix is fantastic for classical music or pop . I just listened the demos again and I'm very impressed .

No no, not so much in to what they call trance, i do like the progressive variant though, and some melodic house stuff too. But I like to play and make everything from breaks and indie alternative to cheesy slutty piano club tunes.

Actually I think the Phoenix can work great on a lot of different styles of music; rock, dance, classical etc. It's just very different in use then a VCA comp for example. There are plenty people who use both at the same time, each for it's own effect. Both indie rock producers and slick dance dudes.

could not agree more. people now reffer a piece of gear as it made for one genere which is a big mistake... it all depends how ones using it..
