|  best mix buss comp for 2k or less any suggestions? right now I have two distressors, rnc, fatso, hedd, and chandler tg1 -- none of these seem appropriate on the mix buss. I want something light, transparent, to bring everything together gently, with a nice solid low end and present vocals... with my budget I'll have to keep my options limited around 2k, preferably less! I'm looking at the buzz audio soc-1.1 but I'm not sure if it's transparent enough. any suggestions will be researched! thanks |

| I may be on crack but, My vote would be for a used Summit DCL-200. About a month ago I put it across my buss and it has been there since. The only other stereo comps I have to compare are the SSL,Elop, and daking. They are all more colored to me. The Summit can really put the squash on something and I do feel I am losing anything. I think cdog has one fresh from Summit service for sale. That is anothr point.....smoking support!!! David |

| I have to say that I'm absolutely loving the Drawmer 1968... but I'm kinda biased...

| for the budget i would go with the drawmer 1968, otherwise the pendulum es-8 is my current fav (although i would still like to get a 1968 someday). joshua |

 | For a few more hundreds you can get an Alan Smart C2 - verry good sound, yet transparent. My vote. |

| If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can put together one of the ssl clones and spend the extra $1600+ another box. They're not entirely transparent, but certainly useable on the 2-bus. |

| Yes, I want one too! I've used both the STC-8 and the FATSO, and neither seemed to really "glue" the mix for me. I'm hoping the Drawmer will be the ticket, on some material anyway. |

 | The Buzz Audio SOC1.1 has stayed as my mix compressor for the last 4 albums i've mixed! Highly recommended. The Drawmer 1969 has stayed as my drum bus compressor too

| i liked the buzz on the 2buss at first but then found out i liked it better elsewhere and ended up not liking it on the 2buss than without it... so. i dont have any recommendations otherwise as its a pretty personal thing.

| I should really try out the buzz before I commit. I've used the drawmer 1969 on 2buss and loved it. but it's got a big thick color. I'm mixing to 1/4" so, to contradict myself, 'glue' isn't really a priority at this stage. clarity, grabbing transients, raising the average level IS. the cranesong stc-8 is looking mighty nice. also the pendulum and the alan smart. however I'm still not sure what to get at this point. thanks for all the suggestions. |
