Plugin of the Week: SSL LMC-1	Fri, 11 May 2007 00:00:00 +0000	blog music plugin-of-the-week	post

This month on plugin of the week is Solid State Logic's LMC-1 Listen Mic Compressor.

"The SSL Listen Mic Compressor was the secret weapon in many producers sonic arsenal of recording techniques. Originally designed to prevent overloading the return feed from a studio communications mic, its fixed attack and release curves were eminently suitable for use on ambient drums mics. Of course, we’d like to take all the credit for this great sound, but as usual, it was the creativity of SSL users that led to the idea."

Awesome plugin for getting that really compressed 80's drum sound. Or turn it right up to get huge crunched drums.
