you really are the best at explaining audio tools. much appreciation :)
Mike, your reviews and demonstrations are always some of clearest and most detailed I have come across. Thank you.
I've been searching high and low for a compressor that allows to edit the attack/release curve. I found that quite a few compressors have such an aggressive curve by default that even on high attack times they can cause "ticking" on loud high transient sounds. The only one I've found so far that has this ability is the Klanghelm DC8C3 (it also has an S curve option), which is a nice versatile compressor in its own right, only lacking that extended visual feedback modern compressors have. I'm happy to see this one can do it too, and with amazing graphical feedback to boot. It's definitely going on my wishlist.
Keep up the great videos, just got another subscriber. You do a great job explaining everything in an intelligent way
An other amazing breakdown
Acustica Audio has a feature similar to the hold feature on the attack time called Shmod. It's invaluable! Makes or breaks everything.
Thank you
my favorite mixer of all time does it again, thanks so much for everything
Agreed the bypass black screen is annoying. It's like the lights went out. Just dim or gray it out. Fabulous compressor otherwise. Great review and tutorial as always - thanks!
Thanks Mike for this great demo and detailed explanation. This compressor is definitely a Swiss knife!
Really good stuff. I watched other videos on this by the usual suspects and by comparison you should be really proud. Perhaps a little more explanation about how the level histogram on the left represents the effect of the transfer function and that it's not related to frequency would have helped.
Great review as always. Would love to see a review on the fairly new Brainworx Amek 9099 Channel strip. I've been using it quite a bit lately and it's incredible. Would be great to hear your take on it.
i think the beats for release just sync the hold to the beat. This way you probably could affect the groove in cool ways
I like the way it draws as you change the settings. In my opinion this is one of the best channel compressors. However I don´t find it transparent enough as Mastering compressor. It colors too much, but for Channels is awesome. Ducking is the best ducking out there as it is also spectral.
EDIT: Even coloring this much sometimes I find this color wonderful enough to leave it in the Master. This is crazy! It breaks all the rules! THERE ARE NO RULES!!!!!!
What brand is the mastering compressor plugin? Unisum?
So wait a minute, how does it "Break all the rules" if "There are no rules"?
@@BathtubStillBill I mean for me one basic rule in mastering is being transparent enough hehe
Another excellent deep dive video mike!
I love not having to read manuals anymore to get up and running on the plug-ins you cover. Thank you! 👍
Thank you very much, very detailed review. The plugins from sonible really helped me start making clean music. Before that I didn't even understand how to do it, but with them everything is visual and clear. The only thing I still don't understand is the ratio numbers (2:1,1.3:1), what does it mean and how do I figure it out? Where can I read about it or see it?
One last thing,I haven't tried it,but maybe spectral processing with sidechain works well? So put one comp 2 on the bass track and the other on the drum and play with the spectral mode? Because just changing it doesn't do anything special.
That's a crazy amount of control. Pair it with an amazing saturator like Kelvin and you wont need any of these vintage compressor emulation plugins again, lol. You can create all the behaviours with SmartComp and the box juiciness with Kelvin
Or you could use these vintage compressor emulations and could be done in seconds instead of tweaking endlessly.
@@Am6-9 Or you could save money endlessly buying emulations and just master 2 simple plugins and get great results
Or you could stop ruining the mix and the planet by not developing nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy resource
Is there a way that I can route sends from multiple tracks to multiple individual reverbs on one aux track , but each reverb having a different eq curve (abby roads)? I want each track to route to a different reverb, and then bypass the other reverbs on the aux fx chain. I'm trying to eliminate tracks in my mix.
I know this is a long shot, but can you upload a portion of that drum sound alone ? I kinda like and want to make a reference track out it. I'd take a no if it is not possible but a yes would be lovely. Thanks.
I have a question about the latency of this product. Does it mean that the accuracy of the mixing can be reduced because of the latency of this product when I'm mixing?
I was told that milliseconds is more related to speed than time if that makes sense
Mike, what your opinion on using this a mixbus compressor? Especially the sprectral comp. sound promising to me in this context
Works great. Then finish it off with Smart Limit!
@@RealHomeRecording I agree! Smart limit though didn't work for me, fabfilter always sounded better...
@@chillingFriend FF are tough to beat. Personally I am still in Ozone fan! I've been using it since the year 2008 and the algorithm has only gotten better.
Mike, awesome video, thanks! These surgical controls (frequency-dependent compression, the spectral feature, clean vs. dirty) probably help avoid the need for an EQ (thus avoiding phase issues) to some extent, right?
That graph on the left is impossible to understand. Don't even know if I should read it from left to right or top to bottom, my suspicion is that nobody knows what the heck that is.
so it isn't just me.
Looks like a histogram of the different loudness values encountered over some time window in the input and the output.
The vertical is Output Level, and the right-ward extension of it shows you how regularly each output level is being hit. If the distribution is "long" vertically, that means you have a broad range of output levels and therefore your material has high dynamics, whereas if your material's dynamics are tightly controlled then you'll see a correspondingly "short" vertical range. The Threshold marker crosses this histogram meaningfully, i.e. the stronger your compression, the more you'll see the spread of output levels above the threshold narrowing and piling into increasingly right-ward measurements as each of those output levels gets hit more often. If you add Makeup Gain, you'll see the whole graph move "upwards" because you're increasing Output Level globally.
@@joechapman8208 Thank you for your well formulated answer. I've read it five times now and still doesnt fully understand how to interpret the "thing". When I play with different settings it doesnt react as it is supposed to react if my understanding of it was correct :) Doesnt really matter, I can use the plugin anyway.
My bank manager really hates your reviews.
AI Plug-ins !
No matter what they can achieve !
I deny their existence with pride !
Sonible, I have a garbage bag solely for all of their products.
Cheers Mike
yeah! get ‘em erik
Yeah! Tell 'em.
