I’m actually thinking of this approach for when I’m working in smaller backrooms, doing more chilled down-beat stuff.
Often, the PA set-up is fairly crude in those scenarios.
I’m often going straight through a DJ mixer into a set of active speakers.
As bluewolfse7en says, I’d probably only use this method if I had enough time to do a really thorough sound-check.
I guess one way to look at it though is - most people wouldn’t be upset if a compressor were used as part of the artist’s kit on say, a bass synth. I always use compressors on my guitar (stomp box). Multi-band compressing the whole thing for effect is arguably not that much different - depending on how you look at it.
Although, whilst using the Finalizer, the effect I’ve been using has been subtle. As it should be I reckon.
When doing main-stage dance stuff on a big rig, I tend to trust the sound engineer. He’s your best friend in those scenarios.
…although, I have come across some numpty engineers too.
Interesting comments though guys - thanks!
