- In this video James takes a look at the RS124 EMI Compressor by Chandler Limited. This is a compressor like you have never seen or heard before. It is based on 3 units that are kept and used at Abbey Road Studios in London. This is not a compressor to be used gently. It needs and wants to be smashed. James tries these valve compression beast out with Bass guitar to see what he can create.

man this sounds amazing, what a gorgeous sounding compressor
Is it worth 3500€? As a electrical engineer who working with music hardware, answer is big NO.
Sounds great, but a Bypass switch is definetly a must
Right at the end the reviewer states that it's a fast attack time. I think that it's actually the slowest position. To my ears it gets slower from left to right.
i know what you mean, but its not, its faster towards the right, and slower to the left! it just looked faster because it was doing less gr!
@geoff you're correct. Fastest attack is position 1, each subsequent position is slower.
Would love to know your opinion of the Waves emulation of this compressor released today.
a trick: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Graham Finnley yup, I have been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :D
Hi James, I got the rs124 plugin and I think it's amazing. One question...what's the best recovery setting for bass and vocals? If I leave it on fast for bass, at the beginning I get that "bump" sound and it's awful, even using the hold position.
Hey :) Where can I get that plugin? I can't find it anywhere.

would this style compressor be similar to the LA-2A style Compessor? They are both Optical right?
No, this is a tube comp.
This is a vari mu
Would this be a good compressor for acoustic guitar? Strumming ?
original sample 6:30
best comparing sample 9:01
This compressor is a useful instrument. I'd love to get one. The studio is an orchestra. I'm hardly the first to say it.
you should always start with or try a compressor on the slowest attack and fastest release IMO, or try those settings at some point, thats what I look to see anyway in a demo, or when im trying a comp! thanks!
Great video as always James. By the way, I would love to watch a studio tour! Looks like you have a great collection of gear! Cheers
This is probably one of the keys to Beatles sound. They compressed bass and guitars , and every track was mixed through it at mixdown.
Great review, lets you really evaluated the unit in full. I can see where this won't work on everything but the stuff it does? Fuggetabout it
Great review, some nice warm compression going on there, bass lines not bad either 😉, pair it up with a tube mic, oh yes
thx for the review! Can you do one as an insert? maybe showing what it would be like on several instruments? This unit sounds pretty juicy.
+Jonathan Velasquez I'd love to but sadly I had to send the unit back..... We don't get to keep this stuff you know.
+Pro Tools Expert that's a shame. thanks for the hard work tho!
thanx, James! and the price is? )
+andivax Depending on where you are in the world.... about £2500. But it nice I hope you agree.
"You never used this, unless you recorded in Abbey Road back in the 60s"...Very funny. Translating, "unless you're Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, or Roger Waters".
Sounds great!
Thank you for this 2016 video Mr David Bowie's clone...Im researching the real compressors of emulations I have(URS vst plugins).
Tube comps rule on bass
umm I don't know🙆 that 737 ain't no joke Chandler might not stand a chance
Who thought it was a good idea to build a 3-4k$ unit without bypass... Wtf.
the plugin version is great too - www.soundonsound.com/reviews/abbey-road-rs124
dur dur dur dur dur duh. dur duh duh dur
to be fair, this was pretty underwhelming
