I got you, nowaysj. I will try some experiments with EQ'ing after FX device to make sound as more pleasant as possible for listener and me. I understood that EQ and envelopes does almost everything (in this case), but had much more practice with compressor or eq except dynamics on the synth. In fact...

I agree. Just wanted to know about your findings.

I know that in some cases compressor is not required, but when I use some FX, e.g. distortion/saturation without extra options (like envelope) or just don't want to spend a lot of time balancing dynamics on the synthesizer compressor can help (...of course, can harm). P.S. Sometimes the sound is too...

Any other suggestions? I mean not only synth or lead but also main instrument to get best sounding as possible.

Thank you, quite good option, I'll check about it! There are differences between UAD and Stillwell Rocket --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46qYev-ScSY

Hi,

Could you recommend what compressor and what configuration you consider as the best for synth or lead in your track? I'm interested in drum & bass/dubstep production.

P.S. Offtopic: Sharmaji, congratulations it is your 5000'th post !

Thank you guys, I'll try your plugins. And what do you think about effects part ? Are you using Lexicon Reverb ? I found it as great sounding reverb like alternative for analog reverb. What else do I need ? What do you think about Waves mastering ? I want to complete my Instrument + Effect Rack.

Hi guys, Sometimes I need classical instruments. Can anyone suggest plugins and effects to reach highest quality/analog sounding piano, electric and acoustic guitar ? I know there are many stuff for this, but I need as high as possible quality. I'm using Ableton. I can use Instrument Racks, 3rd part...
