Maybe that's outside of your budget now, but still put it on the list for later on. Maybe next year or whenever you get the money. I highly recommend the FMR Audio RNC1773 a.k.a. the Really Nice Compressor. The performance/price ratio is nothing short of amazing. http://www.fmraudio.com/RNC1773.HTM -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
