When Fabrice and I analyzed the RED, we found out that it was indeed a very unique beast. WOW! One of the clearest, punchiest sounding rock mixes IвЂ™d ever heard come out of my own speakers. The first thing I did was put it on my mix in the settings that Chris showed meвЂ¦ 1.5:1, attack around 10/11 oвЂ™clock, auto release, compressing just 2-3db tops. This was puzzling because I usually associated a faster attack with a loss of transient punch, but if youвЂ™ve heard ChrisвЂ™s mixes you know that they are the exact opposite of that! So being the classic gearslut, I bought one, (I got the unit with both input and output transformers). I thought it was odd actually: here was this compressor that nobody else seemed to really use, and it was on a setting at 1.5:1 and the attack looked very fast for a Mix-Buss compressor.
