That's different than my experience with it. I've never heard it brighten anything. Everything I use it on, it shaves a touch off the top, and makes things a little less bright, and a little warmer.

Also, reducing depth and bringing things forward - I mean, isn't that what you expect a compressor to do? The more you clamp down, the less dynamic range there is, and the low level stuff is brought forward...

What settings are you using? There are quite a few different ways to use it.

Completely different units. The Crane Song is maybe one of the the most flexible generally transparent sounding compressors (although the Foote P3S will give it a big run for the money). The TCL-2 is a high quality transparent comp, but not nearly as flexible as the Crane Song IME.
