The 7X-500VIN "Vintage Edition" compressor packages the sound of one of the
most popular compressors of all time into a convenient and remarkably
affordable API 500 Series rack module. This late '60s-style FET
compressor/limiter may be small, but it still manages to pack all of the
useful functionality you could ask for inside. There's a a highpass sidechain
filter in the 7X-500VIN, which lets you focus its response, and a mix knob
lets you blend its wet and dry signals to taste. Overall, the 7X-500VIN is an
amazing compressor for the money.Ever try to dial in compression and get
immediately slammed with option anxiety? "Did that attack sound better a 20ms
or 25ms?" It's a serious issue that can trip you up and ruin your workflow.
Lindell gets around this problem elegantly with the 7X-500VIN, without robbing
you of effective dynamics control. Instead of burdening you with knobs, you
set the 7X-500VIN's attack, release, and ratio with simple yet effective 3-way
switches. Whether you're trying to punch up a bass track or mellow out some
vocals, the Lindell 7X-500VIN is the right tool for the job.Here's another
common scenario: you're trying to get an absolutely MASSIVE kick sound, so you
crush the living snot out of that track, and just when you've giving it all
the umph you need, you realize that the transient from the beater's completely
buried in the mix. Normally, that's when you give a profound sigh, zero out
your compressor, and start over from scratch. 7X-500VIN compressor saves you
that frustration with its mix control, allowing you to beef up your
compression and the blend in the dry signal to bring back some of the original
dynamics. So go ahead, set your 7X-500VIN to its 100:1 "all-in" mode and abuse
your tracks. The mix function always brings you back to golden.Want to
compress your snare sound, but the kick keeps pushing you over the threshold?
No worries - the 7X-500VIN compressor's onboard highpass sidechain filter is
ready to come to the rescue.
