In certain situations it would be necessary to have a limiter before a compressor. Think about a very dynamic vocal, for example. Right now, it makes no sense to use one of those wonderful deep plugin compressors, that change ratio with input level on a channel like this, although these compressor models would be perfect otherwise.
About 18 month ago, there was a feature request to be able to use deep plugins in the FX rack. I would rather prefer switching the gate to a compressor/limiter, as long as inserting something from the FX rack adds more latency to a channel. The “standard” peak/RMS compressor (which are not standard at all to my ears) would be totally sufficient for that task.
I do not really understand the question either.
For example, you can use two Dyn8s and one compressor per channel. That would even make three compressors - and the gate would still be usable.
Dyn8 is indeed a idea I haven’t thought about thoroughly. If you can’t see the obvious…
Forced out of this business for 8 month and I forgot everything, sigh
Well, of course you have an extremely wide range of possibilities with Dyn8. You don’t always need that, sometimes something simple is enough.
But you don’t have to use all the functions in Dyn8
You can also simply design it and then save it as a preset.
