First Compressor/Limiter and EQ

[Kris Bang Boom]

Go for a comp first, you can eq and filter in the mix later, a summit tla 100 can be had for $1000 to $1300 and sound good on voice, i find the adl 1000 to be unpleasant, these comps are both in the la2a family classic vocal comp.
Then save you money and get a pultecish eq for mild shaping,

I am a clean lover for vocals, so i use the pendulum ocl-2 with a millennia nseq2 a little out of your budget right now but the OCL-2 is amazing on vocals, and i sidechain the other side to d-ess
oh yeah starting lots lately with a API 312, amazing on male voices for me.

Jaffa,

Thanks! Would you recommend the Summit over an LA2A? I would love to get some of the pendulum stuff. I covet the Quartet!

I just bought my second FeQ-50.

This is a very good, smooth, rich sounding EQ. The tube and SS outputs give two different textures.

Thanks Jimbo.

I got the TLA 50 and fEQ 50 (used) i'd be well under the 1700 mark. I am going to see if my local dealer can loan me the gear to check it out.
