I'm looking for a luthier recommendation near Brighton, needs to be good with replacing pups and preamp rather than the wood bits 😁 Ta!

And there's me wishing my Becos Twain had 4 more knobs 🤣

One knob compression is Satan's own device, its always wrong ....

You want full featured and small footprint you can expect to be paying a bit. As mixers go these days feature per buck is unreal. In the late 90s big studio consoles with 32 channels and eq and dynamics on ever channel, but no other fx with 12 Busses would cost at least 250k. These things really do compete feature wise, and have fx built in, and effectively perfect recall, for just a few 1000 all in. That's cheap as chips!

Midas m32 rack is the most compact solution for the mixer, u til you add in the stage boxes for io of course 🤣

Agreed 100% If it has faders it is not compact, and can't compete for features per cubic cm either

Not quite The human hearing system can detect delays between ears down to 3 or 4ms easily, some people even less. But as a direction finder more than anything. I don't know anyone really distracted by standing up to 10 feet from their amp. And that delay is just a fraction under 10ms.

Check away, it's common sound engineering knowledge If precision is your thing 0.343m per ms

In context sound moves 1 foot in 1 ms give or take.

It has limited metering, which renders it pretty useless to me

Still people on here not getting compression. My advice, find a local studio thar does sound engineering courses and go to one. You will learn a lot more than arguing on here. Simple answer, bassists know jack about compression, it's definitely sound engineer territory. Learn to be a sound engineer so you can make yourself sound better as bassist in the context of a band.

All round functionality snd sound:- Becos Stella Empress Bass Comp Non compressor nerds:- Spectracomp

Wow, didn't know that! Fascinating

Apparently so, I'll have a play, ta!

I would add that the behringer p16 is excellent

XR18 handles a 7 piece funk band admirably. Used a Spundcraft ui24R the other day, nice kit, not as good an interface as the Behringer IMO. Seriously looked into an x32 rack plus 8 channel stage box. Shame there's no native android tablet app for it.

Lovely squashy thing, I'd bang on about metetring but that would be frankly churlish....

Oh it's a beast. Surprisingly easy to get great compression results from as it goes. Absolutely brilliant pedal

I really like the sennheisers as an option on shures. Always got excellent results from them on a variety of voices. Built like soviet agricultural machinery, they just keep on going forever in my experience.

Becos Twain is the most full featured compressor I've found for complex routing options

Muktiband parallel compression chap If you didn't know you wouldn't think it was even on, until you turn it off in the mix. Use it to control the transients and also add some thump. It's subtle, and not so subtle, depending on what I'm playing at the time. Best of all worlds really
