Question D&R Dayner live rig needs completion

Hello,

I recently bought a 32-8-2 live console (D&R). It is a complete live rig in flightcase with three harting 64pin connectors to jack/xlr a klotz 50m multicable and a stagebox.

The D&R was seperated from outboardgear. So I need to collect new outboardgear. I have three reverb units, so aux efx are no concern at this time (like to have a yamaha rev7 but that's for later concern.

I need 8 gates and 8 compressors (on bus 1-8). I allready have 8 gates so I will have 16 gates (on channels) and 8 compressors (on busses).

What compressors would you recommend. I need fast working gear. Remember it will be used in a live setting.

depends on the budget...

In most simple live rigs I see a lot of the cheaper DBX compressors, don't sound bad, and are easy to setup...

I am thinking soundwize......

There are some more expensive DBX

There is Drawmer

Perhaps there are other brands I should look in

Klark & Teknik

Others?

What about focusrite? Joemeek? Are there Optical compressors wich can sustain road use?

What do you personally like?

Put together the rig that makes you the happiest.

Whatever floats your boat can work – As long as it’s relevant and necessary for your craft.

The focusrite compounder, If I bought 4 of those, would that get me anywhere, better than the DBX's?

Is the more expensive DBX'es up to spec?

I have used both, DBX's cheap and expensive and I have a compounder...

The DBX's are easier to setup and they sound better IMHO, even the cheaper ones...

What DBX would you recommend?

The compounder has a special gadget for low. Drawmer gates can be used per frequency, what special feature does your recommendation have?


Thanks in advance.
