[QUOTE="Thomas Dameron, post: 129752, member: 1098"] Re: CL Premium Rack I have been using the Portico eqs as additional parametric output eq when I don't have a Lake or similar. That typically takes up 2-3 of them. I really like that I can have that as well as a graphic inserted just in case it comes to that. The main thing that I use them for is the 901 emulation which goes on whatever calls for it as the situation dictates. It's a great tool, especially on voices. I typically load the whole premium rack with these and change them out for a standard parametric if I need one. For most applications I don't find the fancy compressors worth the trouble. I think there is too much chance that I would inadvertently crush something without knowing it because you have to be on that page to see the metering. They do sound nice and each have their own character, but for a run and gun situation I think bothering with it will cause you to miss something more important than the tone of the compressor. For a tour or a more consistent situation I would have a different mindset. thomas d. [/QUOTE]
