"Recording the Beatles" book sitting on the coffee table. "Hey, have you seen this book..." usually keeps the client busy and relatively quiet for at least an hour.

This is the best "quiet the client" device I have too. Also Beatles Recoding Sessions, and autographed copy of "Here There and Everywhere" (Geoff Emerick).

I'm all for coffee table books too, the one the clients love the most is one I picked up in Vegas called 'The Mullet'. It's a complete history of the mullet hair cut complete with all the famous mullet hair styles worn by celebrities over the years i.e. Michael Bolton.

I'm not sure if it keeps them quiet though as I usually hear them laughing. hehe

I have a Urei LA-22 that I use very rarely for upward expansion. For some reason it works sometimes on severly squashed mixes. But don't tell anyone, it's secret.

I don't know if it counts since I've only used it once, but Samplitude's own multi-band oppressor has a function called "compr. max", which inflates given range in a stupid way. That felt dirty!

That mullet book is a lovely idea.

You know I actually used that just last week on some masters turned out pretty good, but it felt dirty, very dirty

Every once in a while I give the Samp multiband a shot. Sometimes you just need a multiband. It always ends up in the bypass position. I should just pick up a TC multiband. I think that's dirty enough.

I keep my arsenal of weapons to a minimum and a minimum of embarrasement seems to come out of that.

Same here - five total pieces of analog processing gear, little/no processing digitally (occasionally some HEDD or L2).
