Faeflora Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 Hi Craig. In an older issue, I saw that you liked Emperical Lab's Fatso Jr. after using it a NAAM. I read the blurb at wavedistribution.com about it, but it didn't help too much. I'm interested in buying it for signal treatment and for the 2 compressors. Could you or someone else write a little more about it please? Does it work sorta as an enhancer adding more harmonics? Thanks, F If you live in the Washington Metro area, check out Slave Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 I'm interested in it too, but at $2,500 list, it had better sound VERY good!

Fletcher Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 I have found it to be *exceptionally* useful on individual tracks, especially on the way into a good A/D prior to storage on a harddisk system. In many ways, once you get familiar with using it [it is unlike *any* other unit I have ever used before], it's like being able to hit a 'tape machine' prior to digital storage. I don't think it would be my unit of choice for 2 buss work with the possible exception of some 'techno'/'industrial' kinda stuff, certainly not anything where you were looking for "pretty" as opposed to "aggressive" audio. The capabilities of the box seem boundless, the printed descriptions of the unit pale in comparison to the use of the unit, and the 'furnished materials' are at best a primer to using the unit. You really have to just take a few hours/days and fuck around with it to really begin to understand it's best uses and full scope. It's a killer box, I wouldn't "leave the analog world without it". ----- Fletcher Mercenary Audio http://www.mercenary.com Fletcher Mercenary Audio Roscoe Ambel once said: Pro-Tools is to audio what fluorescent is to light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faeflora Posted January 21, 2001 Author Share Posted January 21, 2001 What's the nature of the compressors? Are they useable and do they sound good? If you live in the Washington Metro area, check out Slave Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
