Frap Tools: Squeezing Space – Dual Mono Drum Room Compression with the Dynamics 2806
Frap Tools, the Italian modular artisans, step into the studio spotlight with their Dynamics 2806 mono compressor, aiming it squarely at the heart of drum room mics. In this video, they demonstrate how two 2806 units can transform dry, unremarkable room tracks into something far more substantial—think body, saturation, and a stereo image that refuses to collapse. The focus is on practical, patch-minded workflows: feedback compression, pre-makeup mode, and the creative use of parallel faders. If you’re curious about how a dual mono approach can widen your mix and add punch without sacrificing transients, this is a session worth dissecting.
