I am looking to buy a 10 slot API rack soon which I will slowly begin filling. I have never used the 525 Compressor before and I just wondering if anyone has had any good/bad/indifferent experience with these units. I don't usually see them being talked about all that often in this forum (hmmm, maybe I am answering my own question  ), thanks.

My favourite vocal compressor bar none. And many SINGERS' favourite compressor even if they don't know it! Because it's the one I can put on a vocal that works perfectly yet WITHOUT the singer getting bugged by it.

I own two re issues and love them on room mics and vocals all the way!!! You can press in both L and C buttons and get a nuke thing going.

I've heard of several engineers that say the same thing but have never had any luck with it on vocals myself. Seemed that I wasn't finding it's sweet spot. Do you mind sharing how you set it up? Thanks, Steven Quote:
