MANLEY SLAM........sort of.

I have had the priveledge to hear what a Manley SLAM can do to a thumpin' mix, especially crunchy Rock stuff.
After reading it's Manley manual, and getting to play with it, I have a Scope way to achieve this.
It requires 2 x Limiters, one Brickwalled, the other with a 50% reduction in Slope attack and release.
I used SpaceF's Limiter since it has so much flexibility and even basic EQ.
This handles the slower Electro Optical slope the Manley has.
Then the DAS Brickwall Limter does just that, it flat out stops the signal just like the FET Slope on the Manley does.
Buss 1 is then mixed with Buss 2 into the Micro Mixer and it's Stereo Out into a Destination Module.
THis works really well and is kind of exciting as I haven't really mastered before using a Limiter.
But this seems to be their choice over @ the Big Studio, and they have several multi thousand dollar Limiters and Vintage/new Comps.
I could live there forever. Great giant mansion packed with gear, drum booths, swimming pool and jacuzzi.
It's music heaven and Solaris on the SSL4000G+ using Neve mic pres ( elitist thing I guess ), then hearing it go to the SLAM via AES/EBU is just so big....
