Tie Dye Keith

The Phoenix is simply the single best compressor I've encountered in 25 years in the industry; extremely transparent warmth. It is an everday tool here at TiedyeKeith Studios, be it running on the front end chain and/or to enhance tracks during the mix process; it is an engineers best friend. In fact, we tend to double run vocals and/or guitars through The Phoenix, using both channels for the same input. If one channel turns you on, you have got to experiment with using both channels like we do, you'll be hooked. It's awesome and every single musician whose tracked here has wanted to take The Phoenix home with them.

We embrace the belief to keep final mixes down to the lowest level of compression possible in order to allow the most wiggle room for Emily Lazar (www.thelodge.com) , our mastering engineer the ideal canvass for her to play with. Running final mix bounces through The Phoenix, with barely a half dB of compression and going straight to 1/2 inch master tape is a key to our sound. The Phoenix is in a class to itself in professional compression and like no other product on the market. It can bring the digital domain almost completely in line with depth of the anolog tape, use it once and that's it, you'll be as hooked as we are.

Peace & Love
