Published on 12/05/12 at 12:07The Alesis 3632 is a 2 channel compressor that will give your sound a lot of warmth and richness with little effort. This compressor was a lot more in depth than I thought it was going to be at first glance. There are a lot of knobs on the front of it and it was unlike any other compressor that I have used before. It did take a while to fully get the swing of working with this compressor and limiter hands on but once I got the hang of it, it gave us a whole new sound. Controlling the dynamics of your audio will make or break your overall sound. The Alesis 3632 gives you t he tools you need to get the sound that not only you want, but you need to have.
UTILIZATION
Using this compressor you will have no trouble getting a “big” sound with it. Just a small amount of tweaking can change the dynamics of your whole master. With the side chain that will send and return and the ability to switch operating levels gives you t he full ability to run it with any of your gear or audio signals to give you way more than what this unit cost.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is great, it does add some life and color to your sound. You do not just have to use it with mastering. It is great for individual tracks and instruments as well.
OVERALL OPINION
There are only 2 XLR inputs and 2 XLR outputs on this compressor. It would be nice to have a few more though especially for use because we just don’t ever know exactly what gear we are going to be using. But for more outputs you have to spend more money, so at the time we did not have a problem using just 2 inputs and outputs with this compressor. It has really put our audio to a professional level all while staying within our budget. I would purchase this again in a heartbeat if we needed to. We have moved on to some better compressors but I will never forget what this one has done for us.
