In-Depth: 16VU Compressor

Ben Hammond gives an in-depth demonstration of 16VU.
Inspired by the performance and character of a legendary solid-state VCA compressor, the 16VU captures the spirit of this classic sound and serves it up within your mixer.

I need help! I have an allen and heath SQ-7 and I haven't found a good effect for vocals and instruments, for example I really like the plate reverb effect of the Yamaha M7CL consoles, I have been trying different effects on the SQ-7 and I haven't found any of them to my liking. I would be very grateful if you could help me 🙏

This kink of compressors are included in the Package Deep Pack, the package is not aliviable for the SQ Series. The deep Pack is an Option for Avantis and D Live consoles. Although for the highe Class Mixers.
For Vocals Effects look for a Gate Reverb Effekt,. I use this often for Vocals.

Play with the eq and the times of the effects.
I intially had the same feeling. But ended up liking the plate reverb on vocals after playing with high pass and low pass, and the eq.

@@jack3400 thank you 🙏 I’ll try it. Which reverb do you use in your SQ?

[@jack3400]

@@albertopalos9093 no problem. Good luck. For vocals I usually use the "plate vocal". You can experiment with different ones and choose one that suits you best.
Also it helpa not to put too much reverb, as it can muddy up the mix.

[@albertopalos9093]

Did you use parallel compression?
