[QUOTE="Cesare Bezzi, post: 91270, member: 4573"] Re: Parallel Compression on X32 My first post as a new subscriber (but long time reader). We have run the first two shows in our small venue with the brand new X32. And I was wondering myself how to apply some drum slamming (NY parallel compression) live. My two cents is that I'm not yet able to identify which onboard effect could get close to emulate the 1176 squashed sound (ratio all, high input, output to taste, low attack, high release and so on). I could not find any setting so far. But to be honest I haven't had much time to play with the effects plugins, since the board setup and the shows took precedence. I would hope that a new x32 firmware release could give in the future a straightforward pick of the 1176 emulation. On the other hand the small venue I run the shows in, would not be the best testbed since the live drum would slam itself directly due to the limited distance between stage and audience.
