can one be in love with a plugin? i think i am.. it's not brand new but i re-found the glory of it.. www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gco-1.php

 

Haven't posted in awhile. But i thought others might have the same issues as i.

 

I had the want to be able to start and finish a project in ableton live without missing my protools plugs. And this guy was the last missing link i needed.

 

Being a drummer compressors are a huge part of my sound. I use Protools and Ableton. Ableton is by far more creative but the protools plugs have been what pulls me back to it everytime... mainly the compressors.. the 1176, smack, & the LA3A's have been must haves for me... Until i re found this guy (GCO-1). It's emulates them all and then some.. I think I'll be doing more work in ableton these days.

 

here is some 3 mic (Overheads and a kick only) drum noodling. You can hear the compressor pump nicely..

I might have to start whispering sweet nothings to my moogerfooger analog delay next to the fire.. I think it's a bit sexier then the tel ray..

 

 

The MoogerFooger is a nice one too. I mean, I'm not usually fickle, but...well, you know, there's just some times when you want MoogerFooger, other times when you want oil can delay...

i use 2 414's for overheads. Spaced over the kit. Over the hat/far left tom the other over the ride/far right floor tom..

 

This is my crazy kit

i just buss the 2 oh's hard left and right to a stereo buss, compress & EQ

 

the kick gets gated EQ'd & compressed mixed to taste.

 

i sometimes send all 3 tracks to a stereo buss and compress it all.. i change it up all the time.. i like to close Mic as well..

 

I'll make some screen-shots of what your listening to..

Man that sounds pretty damn good!!

Pretty tight feel to it with such a big drum kit!! the spacing on the overhead mics must bee pretty far apart!? cause the compression sounds pretty hard on the overheads!!.

 

And that GCO-1 is not so expencive either oohh I might buy it for a project coming up!:idea:
