For compressor demos, you guys should really be level matching with the output control. It's easy to feel like a compressor makes things sound better when it makes things distinctively louder. By level matching the input and output, you can more accurately hear the compression characteristics objectively.
Being lazy or not isn't the point. This is an unfair demonstration of a product, and we the consumers shouldn't be responsible for altering the demonstration to be able to hear what the plugin is really doing.
There's a 3 year old response to that same question in this thread.. they had a reverb plug-in inserted before the vulf compressor... the compressor is bringing the reverb out so you hear it more.
Is the reverb during the “on” sections coming from the compressor or is it additional? I’m not a compressor expert but I haven’t used any that also impart reverb. Or is it bringing up natural room reverb that much?
I've read complaints on how they didn't match input/output levels so the compressor here just makes everything louder (I literally don't know how to use a compressor lmao)
wow. Great video. I'm just going to start recording drum's in my kitchen with one mic and this comp. damn, and that groove at 1:04?! Is there a recording of this track?
This is a super late reply, but for anyone that might wonder this in the future - Vulf comp was used on Dua Lipa's record for her vocals. Which are incredible. So I would say it works quite well
+Mr.50 Channel By compressing the signal you're boosting the volume of the reverb tail, accentuating the sound of the space. You could rip the video and try it yourself with any compressor you've got handy.
Those are all the main settings of the Vulf Compressor plugin. I guess this is a really early version that doesn't have the extra controls, because on the one you can get now there is a three dots button that gives you advanced controls. There you can adjust things like attack and release, how much 'crunch' you want and of what type etc.
It's the natural reverb being brought up with the compression. Because he's playing in a kitchen. You won't get such a drastic effect putting it on a professionally recorded drum loop in a dead room.
sorry for replying to a 2 year old comment, but Jack replied to another comment saying that there was a reverb on before the compressor that was brought forward because of the compression @@AfferbeckBeats
Good Hertz Just installed the comp and EQ.. You guys are making some awesome plugins, keep up the good work! The WOW function on the compressor is a lot of fun
My understanding of compression (in very simplistic terms) is that it reduces the difference between your loudest and your softest sound. When you compress something very hard, the loudest impact gets flattened and the softer sounds are excited, and so everything ends up sounding more less at the same level (depending on the settings) On this video in particular he is using it in a very extreme way, but compression is almost always used to give the instrument a very subtle character that sometimes helps it cut through the mix and other times just to blend better with the other instruments. I'm sure there are a lot of videos here on youtube with a better and larger explanation but thats the best I can to put it into words.
@@musicadesilva finally getting that, but what is it like in real life? We as music industry consumers have never heard music products that wasn't compressed, either at the studio or through RUclips's delivery.
@@carpediemarts705 This video is a good example of hard compression at work. In real life. And also, don't confuse compressing the audio volume of a recording (like with the vulf compressor) or compressing the size of the audio/video file (which is what youtube does) those are completely different things that only share the word compression because they're squeezing something to be more compact (audio signal vs data size)
@@carpediemarts705 "Real life" compressors were commonly used in the past for people talking on the radio, as they stop the loudest bits from being too loud, which provides a more even volume. Compressors are widely used for videos and podcasts today, especially when someone is talking over some background music. The listener doesn't want the overall volume to increase when the person starts talking, and the podcast host doesn't want to have shout to be heard over the top of the music, so a compressor is used to lower the volume of the music every time the person talks. Musicians long ago realised that the trick also works great on vocals, bass guitars, and drums, among other instruments. Often when you're fumbling about on a bass guitar, some notes will be a lot quieter than others. Compressing the sound makes it sound more even and pleasant. With drums, the "ghost notes" when you tap softly can sound amazing when they are brought up in volume relative to the loudest parts that are compressed downwards. Generally, it makes sounds more exciting, as if they were played with lots of energy. As you probably noticed in this video, the drummer wasn't smashing his snare like a heavy metal nutcase, but with the compessor engaged, it sounded like a really energetic performance.
Nice to have a band and a record company named after a compressor 💯

It makes it more difficult to really hear what the plugin sounds like.
But it's a good compressor imo.
Or, just download the audio and level match it yourself. Pretty quick and easy.
not the consumers responsibility

aaah da Moog bass at the end... really vintage sound with this comp
Please match the wet and bypassed gains next time. I would love to hear it.
He has a really smooth technique! Barely moving and getting all the sound out of the drum🙌
Sounds like you guys sneaked in a reverb at the same time!

Surely that's the sound of the room.
This sounds amazing. Love the "pretty" grooves.
I'm looking into getting this! Great sound for all instruments!
bought it yesterday. The 'story of vulf compressor' video absolutely sold me. Love it. This is a very great demo!
Is the reverb during the “on” sections coming from the compressor or is it additional? I’m not a compressor expert but I haven’t used any that also impart reverb. Or is it bringing up natural room reverb that much?
It's probable that the added reverb is actually just the room reverb but boosted by the compression.

What's the signal chain for the recording? I saw you said somewhere else there's plate verb before the compressor?
john m good to know too
Amazing. You talented bastard.
need this, like, now.
I'm interested in trying to emulate vulf with stock ableton plugs. Any suggestions? I'm trying this n that based on what I've read and heard. Thanks
Man.
I don't know what i was expecting coming here but right now i'm like vulfpeckized.
voilà.

Please make it available for vst!!! Thanks! You are so cool, thank you for doing this all!
Can this work well on vocals? There are many demos of this plugins but very mostly on drums.
Likely vulf compressor on vary many if not every Vulfpeck vocal sound.

Is there a reverb built into this? When it's turned on in the demo it seems to add in a reverb tail that wasn't there before? cheers!

How Many mic?……..the compressor is on the drum master channel or on any mic channel???……thank you😊😊😊
Sounds amazing! What mic are you using and where is it sitting? Can’t quite make out it’s position from this video?
Hey Jack, what mic are you using here? Thank you.
You Guys should make a hardware fx box/pedal with your plugin line up in it. Pretty please!
Do the In, Comp, Wow, Lofi, and Out come with the compressor or do you you have to buy the plugins seperately?

Anyone know of a rack unit or pedal that can produce this type of vinyl sim compression?
+Aaron Gold zvex instant lofi junky does some cool stuff similarly.
Vulf Compressor is based on the BOSS Dr. Sample SP-303.
that is sampler, not at all a rack unit or a pedal

Late to the party but where was this recorded? That looks EXACTLY like my old apartment in San Francisco.
I’ll be grabbing this for sure
Mr and Mrs Wong must have really liked this compressor to name their child after a song written by a band named after this plugin.
Does everything have to be completely drenched in reverb?
mein got! poopy stinky in mein mouth factory.
epic compressor boyz
It's literally a crime that this hasn't come out on Windows yet.
It's actually coming to Windows soon. I'll be getting it for sure if I can afford it
oh! thank goodness
Beta dropped a week ago!
Does the compressor add reverb like in the vid?
Nope, it's just that by compressing the levels it brings the reverb tail a lot more upfront
Great. What kind of set are you playing?
I'm not really sure what a compressor does. What would it do to a vocal track?
+DubiousDrewski it compresses the sound
You're exactly the person they're looking for to sell a stock looking bog standard compressor for $149 to.
