The Pawn Shop Comp works on overheads, but we suggest for this
application that you set a little too much compression—really get those
cymbals to last, and then go to The Other Side and dial in some unprocessed
signal using the WET/DRY to recover lost high end.
Across the Drum Bus
On a drum buss, the Pawn Shop Comp is fl at out amazing, and you can get
sounds from subtle to the classic "All Four Buttons Down" sound of the 1176.
Use the RELEASE to adjust how much room sound there is (fast release =
more room) and ATTACK to let the initial hits get through (slower attack =
more punch... up to a point. Too slow an attack results in loss
of punch and
very little compression applied to the tracks). In fact, often when working on
a mix we’ll put the Pawn Shop Comp on the drum bus
fi rst thing and start
playing with setting before working on any of the drum tracks individually.
Across the Mix Bus
While the Pawn Shop Comp wasn't speci fi cally designed for use across the
mix bus—we have a speci fi c product for that coming out in a few months—
predictably, it works great there as well. Because the Pawn Shop Comp is a
vintage emulation, it has a gentle high end roll-o
ff starting at about 14 kHz,
and this can dull down your fi nished mix, especially if you like really bright,
almost harsh mixes. Use the WET/DRY control to ease o ff the e ff ect and add
back some of the unprocessed signal to restore the high end a bit.
The Pawn Shop Comp across a mix adds a lot of punch, especially if you set
the ATTACK a bit slow and the RELEASE on the short side. People talk about
buss compressors adding "Glue" and getting everything to work together
harmoniously. The Pawn Shop Comp is more like epoxy on a mix if you
overdo it… ever get epoxy everywhere? It makes a mess. However, feel free
to overdo it, and then back it down using WET/DRY.
