I¹ve used DBX 165, UREI 1176 and Valley People Dyna-mite on SDSV with amazing results. I agree it needs to be one of those ³drum squasher² type compressors. I¹m sure a Distressor would also do the job quite nicely. I mostly use my UAD-1 plugs now though, which sound surprisingly very good. I recommend bus compression along with compressing individual drum channels. While the hard click of the V is very useful on stage, taming it is certainly the key to a good recording. Enjoy your new acquisition. I love mine. -Ian/Perspects [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
