[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 34987, member: 67"] Re: Digital Boards - Sound Quality I've spent a fair bit of time with the compressors in the M7/LS9. Are they great? No, but they're not Yammy comps of 20 years ago, either. Likewise the graphic EQs don't appear to be emulations of the rightly disliked EQ2031. Wherever they came from, the comps and GEQ are adequate (maybe more so) for the level of mixer they appear on. They are what they are, however, and on these desks I don't see plug-ins running inside the console OS; the processing horsepower doesn't seem to be there for these extra tasks. That said, I'm really starting to like certain plug ins in the Avid Venue package. The Joe Meek SC2 (I own the hardware, too) and Aggro compressors; ReelTape saturation, the Pultec EQ and comps. I'd never have a chance to use the vintage EQ and comps otherwise, and I'm coming to appreciate their uses and the tonal elegance behind some of the designs. Should I have the misfortune to become rich, I'm buying the WAVES Live bundle, too. Some cool things in that package... Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
