Continuing my effort to fill out my options in outboard gear, a new compressor arrived yesterday from Golden Age Project. The Comp-2A is an Opto compressor, which are often used to smooth out transients and kind of glue the various elements of your mix together, making it sound more cohesive. I actually used it on Day 1 as part of an effort to add some nice analog warmth to a track that I’ll be releasing as part of an EP at the end of the month.
