I was playing with then yesterday and discovered that the oxford limiter plugin is incredible for fixing the above issue. It sounds natural to the rest of the recording and totally fixes my issue.
I agree.
I had a chance to play around with them for an afternoon. The Sony Oxford plugs
are nice, especially considering their age. Even today given competition from others (such as Izotope's Intel system), it still is on the short list. A lot of the plugs you can find decent competition for, but there was one which had a stereo image altering/coloring plug by volume that I've never seen anywhere else. Wildest thing I'd seen...
