Vocals Compression
Waves API2500- Very aggressive sounding. Really slams the peaks. Adds a dark color to the sound which I don't like. I bought a bright sounding preamp to contrast the dark sounding mic, I'd rather not add more darkness to the sound.
RComp- Sounds like it's attacking the lows before the highs, because it's very bright. Almost thin sounding. Can't really hear the compressor working, but can tell the track has been compressed. That just sounds backwards. Does that make any sense? You can't hear the pumping or breathing but can tell there's not much dynamic range left in the track. Not an improvement in my opinion to the dry track.
Sonalksis- Super transparent. Has the brightness I like without sounding unbalanced or scooping out too many of the lows. Does a really nice job handling the peaks without degrading any of the other bands or sounding unnatural like the other 2. Didn't add any unwanted color.
Vocal Results
Hey, the Sonalksis finally won one! It was the real clear choice for me once I heard it in action. I did go back and compare it with the other 2, but that just confirmed my hunch.
