For those of you who have started a new project file in X2, which of the following is more true for you:

a) I use the ProChannel's compressor.

b) I use my favorite plug-in compressor(s) as an insert effect.



Prochannel the most although PSP Old Timer finds a spot on every project.

Softube FET comp and CLA comps, as well as The Glue and occasionally the free TDR comp.

a) ProChannel 'is' (are) my favorite(s)...

I still use others upon occasion but I find the PC76 and CA2 cover most of my needs as des the Concrete Limiter...

That's what I call heavy serial compression.
 
But seriously, I'm with you, I use all of them.  My favorites were the CA-2A, often after the PC76 on tracks, and the 4K Bus on busses, but I have finally started getting into the 4K Channel some more.  It's taken me a while..
 
And I like the Concrete Limiter, too.

Ha ! . . . guess I should have said I make use of all 4, for different purposes, at different times.

I knew what you were saying, sorry, I was just being a prat.
 
It's nice to see so many other people like them.
 
I bumped into a singer today at the supermarket that I haven't seen for years.  It turns out that he uses Sonar, and we stood talking at length about the PC, and especially the CA-2A, whilst my wife had to finish the shopping alone.

Both, it depends on what I think works/sounds best.  I do still try my UAD's first though.

I'm the same, but I'll often turn to my T-Racks plugs for something a little different
