Hey guys,
Today marked the first day I tried out one of my two new Overstayer compressors. Since these guys are virtually built for the drum bus, I figured why not make a day of it and do another sneap-tastic shoot-out for everyone to judge for themselves.
I tried to match the settings as much as possible between the compressors, but due to their differing envelopes and controls, it's never entirely possible, so please take these results with a grain of salt, because your own mileage with these tools may vary.
Only catch is... it's 3am and I was on cans the entire time. This shoot-out isn't intended to be entirely scientific by any means, but at least a vague approximation of how you might find the characteristics of these compressors to interact on the drum-bus.
Here are the contenders:
Drumbus Clean
Drumbus elysia mPressor plug-in
Drumbus Waves 2500
Drumbus GSSL
Drumbus Overstayer
Drumbus Waves SSL
2 are hardware, 3 aren't. The Overstayer went through inferior conversion to the GSSL. I tried to make the effect somewhat pronounced/pumpy so you could really hear the envelopes.
Hope you enjoy and learn something!
