I am a lucky man. I have been gifted approximately 700 money units to buy a new tool for my project studio. As I sing and like to play an assortment of wooden instruments I feel that it is important to have a good foundation on the way in to the DAW. I am weighing heavily in the direction of a Warm Audio WA76. I feel it would be a good thing, at least for my vocals and percussion instruments to deal with peaks before they hit my Babyface converters. I already have Bryce's Tonebeast 12 which I have lots of love for, and everything I have heard and read about the WA76 males me feel that it is killer at a killer price. What do you all thing of my compression theory, and if not the WA76, what do you think I can wisely spend this cash on?

 

hello, superliquidsunshine,

you will not find any better iteration for the price asked, going for it is the one and only way, without question.

wish all the best for all of us, the added gifts for warm audio gear users are already there...

later edit, post scriptum, the one here might be one of the best thread titles for this piece.

 

Thanks for the vote of confidence, nadirtozenith. It is always hard for me to make these kind of decisions, playing endless revisions in my mind and wondering if I will make the correct choice. It was either the compressor or buying another microphone, but between the RE 20 and the Bluebird, I have vocals covered. I actually like the clean preamps of the Babyface when paired with the RE 20, and the mojo of the WA76 should put me in a good place come mix time. I am now waiting for someone to chime in to play with my head and make another suggestion. LOL. Thanks again.
