Nice using it with a vitalizer mk2-t after it it you want to really squash the hell out of something without it sounding dead afterwoards...

After all the ravings about Live 7's new compressor you come and destroy it.sweetjesus wrote:hitting it hard is what its best for. bump your kick volume up and then add more compression across the master. low attack short release and a hefty ratio..
id use the saturator and Lives compressor and in fact Lives compressor h as the best 'pump' out of any compressor ive heard but lacks the low end definition and saturator rocks but totally rapes the transients sometimes across a mix.

You have to look at it as an insert, otherwise you will get phase issues if mixing compressed signal with uncompressed signal. Ableton still has some work to do for integrating external effects and compensating for delay. You cannot do it manually.
I have a Trakker that I need to use more and more. I still have to get around the issue of going through an extra round of conversion.
