[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 16836, member: 32"] Re: Gates & comps at the lower end Define ''low'' - how much $$ per channel of insert is he looking to spend? For comps, look at the 1066/1046 and go down from there (266XL, 166XL/A, etc.) There's also Symetrix, although they're a little less common. If B******r is ok, might just want to look into more of that. You can sometimes find the old German made units go for pretty cheap (~$50) on fleabay. For gates, I've also seen Drawmer DS201's go for cheap (<$200). For less than that, the old Valley Gatex, or...well, back to the B******r. Kinda depends on what he wants to spend. For $100-150/channel range, you can actually get some pretty nice stuff if you look around a bit. If the budget is lower than $100/channel, the above options should fit nicely. And the old Alesis - that'd be 3630, or ''Dirty-six Dirty''. [img]http://www.soundforums.net/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
