Re: Drawmer and Dbx gate questions. Which to buy?20 year old gear is probably repairable when it breaks. Things newer? Crap shoot.I've used all the products mentioned except the Drawmer Punch Gate. Of them, I like the Drawmer 201 and the Rane G4 the best, but you won't get 4 channels of them in 1 space, ditto for the Aphex (which also sounds very good).Your rack is making the determination, not the sonics of the unit. You're buying a new APB ProDesk; buy a second rack for FOH. Put the insert dynamics in one and system drive & utility in the other. Then buy the gates & comps that you really like, not just what you have rack space for.
