[QUOTE="Joe Sanborn, post: 91322, member: 2062"] Re: Parallel Compression on X32 [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Dear Guys, [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Great discussion on NY style drum compression. We are expecting new plugins with the release of Firmware 2.0 later this year, but I can’t say for sure exactly what will be included. As always, your requests are heard by our developers. In the meantime, you can “smash” drums pretty effectively with the Dynamics section included on every mix bus. Go with a very fast attack and release with a high ratio, try 6:1 or 10:1.

The Wave Designer plugin inserted on kick/snare/toms can also really help bring out the attack on the drums. As Christian indicated the Waves MultiRack has many great choices and inserts at low latency. I really like the Chirs Lord Alge 1176 for this application. For more extreme drum mangling, (o[FONT=Arial]n recorded tracks still in the DAW), [/FONT] I sometimes like to use the Decapitator by SoundToys on a stereo bus. Recently I also tried the Audio Damage Kombinat on drums which can really make them sound a bit "vintage", (Black Keys..ish). It is a cool mult-band distortion plug in. I hope it helps.[/FONT][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
