I don't get the seemingly relentless "need" for compressors that smash drums. Can't they just about all do that? I know there are some that do it better than others, but that being the benchmark for so many plugins and hardware units seems redundant at this point.

This one is just famous as it was in SSL consoles and then used on Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight". The Engineer tapped into the talk back compressor for the Tom's. |

Hmm. SSL released a talkback compressor plug like 10 years ago but I think it was only for their DSP cards. I used it a few times and never really thought much of it. It's just like a smashed L1.

The story goes like this, Padingham first used the SSL talkback compressor on an XTC, then first used it and the Townhouse stone room with Phil on Peter Gabriel’s Intruder. No I’m not an audio savant, I read it on PG’s blog a week or so ago😁 |

You certainly don't want to use it for all material. And if it's not to your taste, it's not required to get a good drum sound. But hey, it is definitely changing how you experience the drum sound, and that enhancement gets many people excited to hear it. They don't hear that usually, even when an engineer uses other compressors, because the talkback was never meant to be used in the this way. It was extreme from the get go! www.muzines.co.uk/articles/hugh-padgham/3520# |

SSL had a free LMC1 VST a long time ago. Yeah, it wasn't that special. I remember being excited though because it was a real "SSL" plugin!! Ha!! |

Ha!! i remember that plugin well, and at the time, I thought it was very cool and sounded good. No idea what I would think of it now... |
