SOUND ON SOUND
American producer and recording/ mix engineer Mark Needham has worked with many famous pop and rock artists, and when asked to dissect a notable sound from his remarkable catalogue, Mark details his work on The Killers’ ‘Mr Brightside’.
Drawmer’s latest processor packs a lot of punch into a 1U rack!
Is a genuine limiter just a compressor with a high ratio, or are there other differences, such as the attack times, or the nature of level detection?
Drawmer say that their latest release has been designed to offer a modern take on the classic channel strip, combining a versatile mic preamp with a comprehensive EQ section and vintage-style compression.
These modules pair a vintage‑style EQ with a clever saturation feature — and the stereo MQ‑2 also brings controllable compression to the table.
This 1972 dual‑channel mic, line and instrument preamplifier puts two identical channels of what appear to be the same preamp design as in the 1977 into a 2U 19‑inch rackmount case.
With a compressor‑saturator stage for each of its four bands, could Drawmer’s new EQ become your latest Crush?
Drawmer have been offering no‑nonsense professional audio gear since the early ’80s, but their current range of processors offers more possibilities than ever.
Ivor Drawmer, audio electronics engineer and founder of British pro audio manufacturer Drawmer Electronics, has sadly passed away.
The 1977 combines an ultra-clean microphone preamp with a three-band parametric EQ, a compressor and three types of variable saturation.
