Man it's hard to sell this, but i have switched to in the box mixing. I know, I know. It is a great bus compressor and truly sounds incredible. It's great on drum busses, master busses, anything you want. I've used it on live drums, electronic productions, and so on. I'm more into the electronic world now than the analogue. But I always remember my analogue drum set recording roots. I've taken great care of it, and it should have no problems. It's easy to use because of it's mostly notched settings, besides the threshold and makeup. And it has a side chain input too, which is super cool. Also there's an auto-fade out button if you want to make a fade out the old fashion way.. you just set the rate of time and hit "auto fade" when you are ready for your song to fade out. Stereo inputs and outputs. 1U of rack space.
