What a great video again! Your first LA-2A video and this one just really make something click in my head about the use of compressors this way, very useful content :)
bumped into your channel by accident and how wonderful it was! These extra bits of info has given me the nuances that i miss in compresssion. Very clear, precise and friendly. Thank you!
Wow, I absolutely love what you did with combining the compressors & showing how they react together. Then comparing the before/after wave forms. This is GOLD! I remember doing something similar to two different masters of one of my songs. I had to use one of them for the bridge, and the rest was from the original master (don't ask. LOL). I wanted to make sure the volume was consistent, so I made a wave form of the bridge in both files, and compared. I even went an extra step & made an animated GIF, which went back & forth between the two. Then I adjusted the volume accordingly, until you almost couldn't tell the difference between the two. Fun stuff!
Thanks for fulfilling my request. This was great! So informative, So simple and a sweet short video. Awesome! Wonder what the vocals in context with music and with extra processing on would sound like :)
Hey, my pleasure! And there will be some upcoming videos where I’ll show more of this kind of thing in action! I really appreciate you watching! Thank you so much!
I haven’t ever used a patch bay before! My entire sound engineering world has always been DAW based with some analogue front end, but almost no hybrid workflow. All in the box!
Oh Yeah... Would you be so kind as to do a video in which you "break down" the mechanics of what is happening in "76" style compressors, when the "all in"/"Nuke" functionality is activated? I'd be curious as to whether it it is merely super compressed, OR if all of those ratios are applying mildly different timings/sync, etc... or anything more than merely a "high ratio".
At 7:20, you said you were speeding up attack and release times on 1176, but moved the knobs to the right, which I believe would increase these times. Did you mean to say you were slowing these times? Just want to make sure I understand correctly. Thanks for the video.
Hey! Awesome question! On the 1176, the fastest attack and release times are when the controls are turned clockwise, or to the right. The slowest attack and release are to the left. The numbering is from 1 to 7, which means absolutely nothing! It’s just arbitrary! So the 1176 is different from the vast majority of compressors, where the faster times are indeed to the right! Thank you ever so much for watching!
Another great vid. Probably one of the best explanations of attack and release i've heard....Thanks! Btw...do you compress and/or eq during the recording process or is this with a completely raw voice? Thanks again!
Hey there, thank you ever so much for watching! In this video, that was a raw voice but my gosh, didn’t I have to do some searching through projects to find one because, yes, I always compress when recording. In fact, I will do any amount of processing that I think is as close to the finish individual track processing as I dare. I’ll even bake in a reverb if I think the sound will never be without it!
Hey there! I think maybe I confused you by earlier in the video when I’m demo’ing the LA-2A, I begin with it first in the chain, but then later when I’m demo’ing the impact the 1176 has, it’s the 1176 that’s first in the chain. Sorry for any confusion! I’ll be careful to let watchers know when I swap plugin order during the videos in the future!
3 db of gain reduction might be preferable on a vocal performance based on 3 notes, but I prefer to compress shit out of the vocals on a more dynamic performances xD
@fyzooman Thank you for the feedback! Someone else has also asked for something similar, so I shall be mindful of this in future videos and try to make the A/B examples in the way that you’ve suggested. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you!
@AlexWhiteComposer wonderful content,you are producing my friend and appreciate every bit of what you have been offering to us all and I'm seeing the benefits/results of your methods,thank you once again Alex.

Oh man, thank you so much for saying so! I really appreciate it! I’m so glad it’s helping!
Definitely under-rated channel! I was just the 1000th subscriber!🔥
Thank you so much!! I love that you were 1000! It has been exciting for me to see it tick over!

Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to say this! Thank you ever so much and I’m so happy the videos have helped!
Thanks for making compression make sense Just got this compressor so Perfect timing 🙂
Oh fantastic! I’m really glad you found the video helpful!
Really liking your videos…subbed! Keep them coming.
Thank you so much for watching! They’ll be out every Friday at 6:30 pm (GMT). Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to cover!

Man, I love this story! This is just the kind of shenanigans one can get themselves into with audio! 😃
Really really enlightening and very pleasant in it's presentation thank you very much!
My pleasure! Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you for the breakdown of the LA-2A
What is that noise at @10:38... do you have a mixing console or something?
Nicely done sir
Thank you!
Alexander, you are a KING of instruction. Thank you so very kindly for this video.
Further, I hope that you have received my email.
Hey man, thank you, as ever, for watching! I did get your email, and I promise I’ll drop you a message back soon! 😊
Thank u so much 😊 after following u, seeing myself improving 🎉
That’s amazing news! Very grateful to have you here!

@@AlexWhiteComposer Whats your take on patch bays? ;)

@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios Hey, I know it’s a bit late, but I made this video on the 1176! Hope you are doing well!!

thank you so much this has actually helped me alot now i do understand
I am so happy it has helped! Thank you!
Why does the 1176 impact the LA 2 A when it’s second in the chain?
Hey there! I think maybe I confused you by earlier in the video when I’m demo’ing the LA-2A, I begin with it first in the chain, but then later when I’m demo’ing the impact the 1176 has, it’s the 1176 that’s first in the chain.

Haha! Yeah, totally! Sometimes it is indeed just what the track needs!
Alex,just let the track play and just switch in between,you cant hear the difference when you start and stop it,good video though my good man.

But echo is such a lovely effect!
