Overdriving must throw all sorts of odd stresses around inside a Jack
setup. If I were running more than one instrument at a time through this
rig (eventually, I probably will), I may run one Calf compressor per
instrument, instead of running everything through the one.
hmmm, I find that _incredibly_ interesting ... thank you for that!
cheers!
Most welcome :-) As a result, in last night's practice, we were able to
kick it far beyond any limits I've ever seen. Right now we play an
electric guitar and my keyboard rig, and after experiencing how very
well it was performing, I took a bigger risk: I ran Overdrive on
Yoshimi, and Aeolus with almost all of the stops pulled, simultaneously
for every note. Without the compressor I would have been fiddling for
hours and still overdriving to static sometimes; with the compressor, I
had an impossible sound at my fingers, mixing the scream and bass-power
of Aeolus with the ragged-razor knife edge of Overdrive. I would not
have dreamed it possible. I still don't have words. It gave me the
best of both, in a good smooth mix, enough to cut the soul in half for
close inspection!
