Full brief!

UTILIZATION

Who knows a compressor, the config is simple, yes.
The volume pot is a bit small and the concept "a lot of functions on a unit only" has its limits, ie it should not have too big fingers and go like a nag on pain of moving a set in refining another.

Otherwise, very good point for me, signage and LED meters.
Each switch is turned on activation, perfect for getting together on a dark scene (not gadgets at all)
LED meter and large, reactive and assignable (2 LED meter per channel, assignable to input to output, gain reduction or output signal ... Everything is possible)
Briefly, in a very noisy environment, we already made many little adjustment to the views (it paradoxical for a sound processor but really, it helps)

So very positive point for me -> leds métreq the swichq bright.
Point a bit boring -> the knobs too closely spaced, and notched (boring to refine a setting that should be really accurate)

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality directs this compressor
- To live (cif conc, groups that rotate in autoprod without letting on each date, repeat ...) it is perfect in this application.

- Home studio for a treatment that does not nessessite a huge sound quality
can range from mild to prevent a comp Converto of saturated, or you can really pump big beat loops if this is your ray ... he can do anything. (Some comp can not pump, not possessing a relatively high proportion)

- To familiarize themselves with a compressor / gate (all functions are there ... and the mastering, you'll be ready to move to the higher range, but I would not before. "Unnecessary to assign an Avalon type that does has never touched the compression)

I used to insert a long time before attacking the console Converto a sound card via the direct out of the console (not saturate), on
Battery
voice
bass

I used to live on a farm sub group (CG, CC, TOM1, TOM2, OH1, OH2)

Do not reversible, a comp to 200 euros will never do as a comp in 2000. While the features may look equivalent on paper, sound quality is different. This comp is fairly transparent in terms of tone color (no specific color)

it will make a comp or severe soft, cheap and with good quality. Not great, but good. In any case, ample for the home stud, for repeated use, caf conc, etc ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 3 years.
no reliability problems, always rack ever since.

I like almost everything.
- The characteristic hyper-complete (side chain, LED meters, all possible settings, stereo utilisatoin possible for a submix)
- Compactness (I have small fingers)
- Good build quality (it's clean and nothing happens)
- Good sound quality for the ridiculous price (and the other alesis presonus 200 or 300 euros are no better after is just marketing)

Like any product, I try to APPRI on piece and not on rumors.
For me, this compressor is very much his job, especially for the price.
It does not get the moon for you, but you'll get your money (and a little more)
