ITS HORSES FOR COURSES, a good VCA compressor limiter will do a
good job making medium wave radio sound a bit louder and protecting a
radio transmitter from exploding, but it is a poor tool for making a voice
track stand out.
The JOEMEEK compressor was designed to use the apparent deficiencies
of the older technology providing a powerful artistic tool for the creative
engineer.
Joe Meek used to say, "If it sounds right, it is right!".
To a lot of his contemporaries he went way over the top with overloading
the record electronics on his 'Lyrec' 2-track recorder, and swathing his less-
than-perfect singers in bathroom echo and reverb, but his artistic use of non
linear compression was masterly.
