Hey All,
I took a short clip of the tune from my Tonelux/API/Waves shootout and ran the drums through some of my stereo hardware buss compressors hitting pretty hard with high ratios (mostly). The compressors are...
API 2500
Tonelux TX5C Pair
Regular John Recording Sick Sick Sick
Thermionic Culture Phoenix Mastering Plus
This is what we've got for settings...
API 1 - 6:1, Attack 10, Release .2, Hard, Loud, New, Stereo Linked 100%, ~6dB reduction on the snare hits.
API 2 - 6:1, Attack 10, Release .2, Soft, Loud, Old, Stereo Linked 100%, ~7dB reduction on the snare hits.
TX 1 - 8:1, Attack 10, Release .2, Tilt, Feed Forward, Stereo Linked 100%, ~9dB reduction on the snare hits.
TX 2 - Over Compression (Full CW), Attack 10, Release .2, Tilt, Feed Back, Stereo LInked 100%, ~9dB reduction on the snare hits.
RJR 1 - 10:1, Attack 10, Release .3, Side Chain Enabled, ~7dB reduction on the snare hits.
RJR 2 - 4:1, Attack 10, Release .1, Side Chain Enabled, ~7dB reduction on the snare hits.
TCP 1 - (no threshold control and attack and release are switched settings not times) Attack 2, Release 3, Side Chain Max, Linked, ~7dB reduction on the snare hits.
TCP 2 - (no threshold control and attack and release are switched settings not times) Attack 2, Release 2, Side Chain Max, Linked, ~7dB reduction on the snare hits.
Everything went through the Midas VeniceF-32 converters/console, through the comps, and back to Pro Tools through the converters/console. Then I took the files and RMS normalized them to -20 and labeled them to be blind.
Take a listen and fill out my form ranking them in the order in which you like them. When complete, you'll receive the key!

, but I did lower the snare like 1.5dB next day so we seem to agree completely. This mix was done Monday night, Tueseday morning I got the final vocal tracks, did the final tweaks and then sent for mastering the same afternoon. Final mix of the album, so too late for regrets now! Excuse me for hijacking the thread Jesse! The reason I put the clip up was because I was happy with how I got the compressors, Elysia and Colour module saturation working (snappyness vs glue), but I realize now that without a before/after this clip isn't that interesting. I'm totally aware that it sounds just as any other stuff!
