I haven't used the Ivory series from TL Audio, but I have used the C1 tube compressor and the related tube EQ and can say that the build quality was fine, the sound was great and the mic pres were also great. They are a pretty reliable name, if that's anything to go by these days. Their Fatman units are also worth a look, by all accounts - budget yes, but interesting. I would happily go for a mixture of Focusrite and TLA kit for outboard. I have a MixMaster with excellent EQ and multiband compression, which I end up using for all sorts of jobs apart from treating mixes - which it does very well. Just treated some house tracks for someone, with filtered breaks whose levels leapt about all over the place and which by filtering had lost a lot of upper mids. I was able to restore some frequency balance and create a more even feel with very little work. Tony Thompson
