Purple Audio Action 500 Series FET Compressor at a Glance:
- Solid, all-around performance
- This little compressor is big-time versatile
Solid, all-around performance Sweetwater knows that every studio needs at least one solid, all-around compressor, and if you've got a 500 Series chassis, Purple Audio's Action fits the bill. Use Action on individual tracks, or strap a pair of them (in stereo link mode) across your mix buss for some mastering magic. However you use it, you'll be glad you have one (or two). Or more. This little compressor is big-time versatile Action sounds wonderful on just about everything. When you want subtle compression, use the 4:1 ratio; for more robust gain attenuation, go for 8:1 or 12:1. Dial up 20:1, and you've entered limiter territory. For the ultimate brickwall action, you want "nuke" mode - infinity:1. Action's Attack and Release controls cover a broad range, and when you explore their extremes, you can cause distortion - which may be just what you're looking for on a particular track.
