k guys, I'm just playing around with some compressors on the drumbus atm.
It's not metaldrums but alt-rock/whatever....
the settings are: attack: 10ms release: 100ms (on some of the comps a bit hard to dial in cause there are no clear values, so don't take these values for gospel.
gain reduction is about 2dB peak (again, a rough number...the LA for example shows about .5dB but has like 2 in reality...slower needle
the Compressors are (no particular order):
Smart Research C2, Stereo
Smart Research C2,stereo-Crush
Smart Research C2, Dual Mono
Waves API2500, FB (old)
Waves API2500, ffwd (new)
LA Audio Classic CompressorII
Metric Halo Channelstrip, Smooth
I know, with these not very drastic settings the differences are small, but I think they can be heard on good speakers.
I chose these settings cause they are similar to what the compressor would do on my drumbus in a real mix.
All the files are 24/44.1 sorry for the size, but this is about dynamics and high-end, I didn't wanna reduce the quality just to make the files smaller. (it's only a short clip though)
No Compressor

ATTENTION: they are not all the same volume, try to match loudness before making your judgement
only for the HArdware: D/A was RME ADI-8 A/D is Apogee Rosetta
feel free to grab the file with no comp and post files of your compressors
