All user reviews for the PreSonus BlueMax

Two-channel Compressor links (one setting for both channels).
Connections: TS.

UTILIZATION

Very simple, very simple too.
No threshold setting.

SOUND QUALITY

The compression works well, it is clean and efficient.

I use it to take but never mix.
She serves only as protection against possible peaks catch bass and vocals.
Aesthetic treatment in the mix I prefer plugs (Rcomp waves) rather than the BlueMax (and converting a double).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years.

Among its biggest defaults:
- Input and Output asymmetric (not serious)
- Both channels necessarily links: no question of using a channel on the snare and one on the bass drum, for example because on one hand a single setting is possible, and also a peak on a channel leads compression on both channels.
- The threshold at-10dB stuck in manual mode.

I tried a lot of other compressors dbx 166, Drawmer DS201 (and other most prestigious of which the comparison is absurd) any better than the BlueMax.
But less than 60 € it's still a good deal.

OVERALL OPINION

The BlueMax is a compressor with a bit SETTINGS particular, the attack time, release and ratios are used only in the manual position
these parameters are indeed recorded for each application (voice, guitar, percussion) and selected by a rotary
the treshold is fixed and we do vary the threshold for action thanks to the compressor input level (which is exactly the same). It's confusing compared to other compressors but it is not at all pnalisant
the highlight of this compressor is to be able to settle in less than one minute timer while obtaining a result very honest and appropriate to the situation. all, is to select "good program"
for this, read carefully this part of the record which details the methods to be used for different applications. then adjusted the input as would solve the treshold and go.
in result, I think it's correct: the associated BLUETUBE (recess), the result has convinced me catch voice and acoustic guitar. Compression is generally quite soft. It is not suitable in my opinion to add "the EHJV" a soft voice a little example
finally, a product a little confusing for those familiar with the settings of conventional compressors, but it does not make a bad compressor, away from the
very easy to use
