    Awesome. Rumor has it that David is gonna give away 100 units of each of these compressors every week until the end of the year because he loves us so much... ;)

    I'm hanging at your ear. I've become a real sucker for that most interesting subject. I even learned to hear differences now, but still have problems to choose the right tool in any given situation from the hundreds of available models. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us :)

    Hey David! Thank you so much for your work. It is gold! I don’t know anyone on youtube who has such well explained and professional contents about audio production and mixing. You answered so much questions I had especially when I was a beginner back in 2017. I’m glad you are so dedicated. I usually don’t write comments on RUclips but I must say again : just thank you !

    Funny how you adviced to use fairchail compressors in a subtle and transparant way, while I liked it the most when I used it in paralel on a drumbus while absolutely cranking the living shit out of the knobs in mid side. I really liked how that changed the stereofield. And pulled up so many detailed details while also making the drums sound more moving and alive.
    I played with a hardware version

I’d love to know which types and models you’d say are “must-haves” for mastering in each group of similar genres (for me it’s the broad electronic genre, minus EDM)! Thanks again!!

    Great video, I'm slowly getting through the whole compressor series. Question -- why doesn't anyone ever talk about modern digital compressors, not based on analog hardware? I use Logic, and they have the "Platinum" compressor, and I think Ozone has a digital limiter/compressor as well. For my ears, these plugins can control dynamics as fast or slow as you want, with 0 artifacts. I sometimes use the Platinum to control dynamics, and then a vintage modeled plug in (or hardware) to get the tone I want. Is this common among pro mixers?

    • @mixbustv
      @mixbustv  2 года назад

      Yes it is common, but no plug-in or hardware has zero artifacts, only volume automation

What if you wanna use like 20 different outboard gear, would you not need a patchbay then? I have 16 input and 16 output channels using one audio interface with 8 channels and a digital adat for 8 more. But that wouldnt be enough to hook up like 20 outboard gear.
