Same comps as before, except for the SSL. It's kind of a waste of time, as it's really not designed to go on individual tracks.
Electric Guitar Compression
Waves API2500- Lots of body, very clean. Big sound overall, handles the transients very well. Brought in a little high end without the added harshness of the distortion.
Waves RComp- Brighter sounding. Emphasizes the harshness unfortunately, got fatiguing fairly quickly. Mids sound pretty good. Touches the meat of the sound, but not as much as the 2500 or Sonalksis. Enhanced the crunch of the distortion. Not sure if it's that much of an improvement to the track or not. Definitely changes the sound.
Sonalksis SV-350MkII- Brought out a lot of grit and meat to the track. Expanded the image in a very pleasing way. A little muffled in the mids, but still natural sounding. Most discrete of the compressors, can't really hear it working.
Guitar Results
The compressor again that did the best job in my opinion was the API2500, though it was another toss up between that and the Sonalksis. After A/Bing the two, I was drawn more toward the sound of the 2500, although I easily could have lived with the Sonalksis.
