Re: Yamaha M.Comp
As a 5d user I've had results with this as an insert on the "more important" vocal channel. If you figure out how to use it in a controlled fashion, please share.
It's one of those funky compressors where lowering the threshold also adds gain. Since I didn't have time to get it dialed during clubman's one song sound check, I have to wait until set time. Lower threshold, dump gain, repeat for other two bandpasses, rinse, repeat until compressing as desired. I have to be careful because it's difficult to keep track of added gain and I'm usually not that far from pushing the house PA unstable. It works. It just takes a ton of back and forth on the arrow keys and big knob to get it dialed. Thus, if there are more than a few channels on stage my time is better spent mixing.
Likewise, if you figure out how to make the de-esser effect actually do anything, I'm all ears. I get the GR meter bumping, but no audible difference toggling the bypass switch. (Yes, I'm aware that the insert within the channel must be activated.)
