[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 33112, member: 430"] Re: M7, compression and effects questions. I'm with Evan here, 30ms attack is an eternity for the vocal compressor, and the compressors in the Yamaha consoles do not react as quickly at 0ms as an analog compressor set for the same nominal short attack. I'd try a knee 1-2 and an attack of 0-3ms. I can't remember the last time I used an attack time longer than 10ms on a Yamaha console for peak catching. FWIW, from the DBX160A manual: [B]Attack time[/B]: Program-Dependent; Typically 15ms for 10dB, 5ms for 20dB, 3ms for 30dB Gain reduction [B]Release time[/B]: Program-Dependent; Typically 8ms for 1dB, 80ms for 10dB, 400ms for 50dB; 125dB/Sec Rate I like the DBX160A greatly, but it is on the "slow" side attack-wise for some circumstances. It makes a nice bass guitar and kick compressor, but is too slow for a "modern" snare sound. It can be great on snare in jazz. [/QUOTE]
