    1:38 pretty sure that’s the level at which it de esses and not the gain reduction amount

      if you look at the little graph you can see the reduction on the dresser in real time, when you adjust that knob it seems to DeEss more aggressively, so i kind of assume that adjust how many DB its compressing but i could be wrong.

    I use this plugin in my vocal chain btw. Looking at your db levels, the gate should be at (81-75) because it is very hard. Your attack and release is waaay too fast... Not sure about your ratio setting... The eq is more than enough, less IS MORE and why the fuck would anyone EQ more than the options available in the plugin? This ''need'' for more EQ options without any good reason on your part just makes me think you don't know what you are talking about when it comes to getting a good sound. The whole point about choosing a microphone is to not have the need to do eq at all, expect high passing.

      Let's just say your room gets some muddy bass frequencies, base resonance or your voice is sounding muddy, you have to be able to EQ to remove those bad frequencies you may get due to your bad room acoustics or even the way the microphone is currently picking up your voice, let's say you have a higher pitched voice and you want to bump the low end up a little bit how are you going to do that with this EQ
      So you think a 3 millisecond attack and a 100 Ms release is too fast on the compressor?? I mean somewhere between 1 and 3 milliseconds is the standard attack for a voiceover and somewhere between 60 and 200 is a standard release for a voiceover so everything is pretty much set up properly
      As far as the ratio that said to give me between 1:00 and 3 decibels of compression for my normal speaking voice that of course when you get loud it compresses and turns the loud parts down I mean that's pretty standard you don't want to use a lot of compression for a voiceover unless you wanted to sound squished and dead
      Now every person's voice is different, every microphone responds differently to every person's voice and to the acoustics of your room so sometimes you have to EQ to fix things 20 different people could get on the same microphone and a microphone may or may not sound good on your voice for example I watched a test where they put a guy on a $60 piece of crap versus a100 tlm 103 and the one guy sounded so good on the $60 piece of crap and horrible on the TL and 103 but all the other people on the test sounded way better on the tlm 103 so there's a lot of variables that go into this type of thig
      If you're a professional voice actor and you send your voice recording to the employer, they have an audio engineer that does all kinds of work to it to get it the way they want it sounding, normally you would ask them hey would you like me to add some EQ and compression or do you want the raw file. I mean if you're hired to do the voiceover for a car commercial if it's going through a professional production company they probably won't want you to touch the audio, but if it's just a little dealership that doesn't know anything about audio engineering they might say yes make it sound as good as possible before you send it to us. I'm in compression shouldn't be used to change the sound, only to regulate the volume so the louder parts don't get a lot louder than your normal speaking voice, EQ changes should be minor generally no more than one to three decibels of adjustments on any particular spot but sometimes you need to fix or compensate for the room acoustics and how that microphone picks up your voice
      Now you do want your recording to be 90% of the way there but you use your compressor your EQ your this and that to give just that little bit of extra to make it sound nice now if you're doing a professional voice recording you would just send it in on touched and let them deal with it but if you're just doing stuff for yourself or RUclips or whatever a little bit of audio editing can just add a little bit of extra goodness if you know what you're doing

      @@dannylightning-audio-reviews Your uses cases for more EQ options, is that really what you would expect from an EQ section in a channelstrip? Aren't you better of with some specialized multiband parametric EQ for corrective purposes? The EQ in this plugin is meant for broader tonal improvements, rather than precise corrective actions

      Are you talking about the schepps Omni channel, I believe I did a review on that one couple months back, I'm currently working on a channel strip shootout, I have access to all the waves channel strips, I have a couple of other channel strips that I own, all of the Waves channel strips and I think I'm going to download a couple of the really expensive brain works demos and the native SSL demos and compare like 15 or 20 different channel strips together, I think that'll be interesting, I already started on it and some of these cheap ones sound pretty darn good, I got a couple more of the Waves ones I need to set up and then I'm going to start downloading the demos of the expensive ones and it'll be interesting to see if the expensive ones sound that much better
