I just purchased the Weiss Compressor then upgraded to the DS1 but haven’t used it because it seemed daunting. Thanks for this overview/tutorial. I definitely want to try each feature
That is incredibly clean compression and very suitable for mastering for sure. Nice product, definitely want to try it against the Sonoris mastering compressor.
I have a stupid question for anyone but especially softube lol - the limiter gain meter on the left is equivalent to let’s say the gain / gain reduction on the pro L 2? and the GR section meter is a compressor that’s before the limiter? so it’s two stage? Or is that GR meter only used when the deess is being used? I feel dumb I’ve read the manual like 3 times in just trying to see if I understand this right or wrong lol. Just bought this finally and stoked to learn some more.

Are the different EQ filter settings independent? I mean, does that single knob remember where the frequency was set for HP, BP and LP? In case you want to use it as a "multi band" compressor?
i've tried to find that out too, the manual is very sparse on that, but it seems like it's affecting just one band. Would be too good to edit all 3 types simultaneously.
Great video. I'm pretty new to all this stuff and really appreciate the walkthrough. I just subscribed to the Flow Mastering Suite and it's pretty awesome for someone like myself who understands a bit but definitely needs my hand held. One thing I can't understand though is this is also a limiter right? I can't seem to figure out how to set the limit about... as in making sure it doesn't go over -1db on the master bus. Does this make sense?
From what I understand This is a 1 to 1 replication of the hardware unit which was actually digital software in a physical unit And it seems like it's been kind of a secret weapon It's a really transparent compressor/de esser/clipper With filters to target low end or high end Alot of control on release as well And it's very transparent for getting that loudness If you use this before you hit your limiter, you're going to be able to push your song even louder than before It's also on sale rn, but still expensive
There is! With the fairly recent addition of 'Extended Features' to most of our plug-ins (including the Weiss DS1-MK3) it's become really easy to match the plug-in's output to the loudness of the input. You can read more about it here: www.softube.com/extended-features
RUclips video editors in 2021: "Yes I know we're demoing an important mastering plugin, but we still need some inane background music when the guy's talking"
It really depends on the mix. If the mix suffers, no plugin can help. What I like about it, is how transparent it is when used lightly, but also how it sounds even you push audio into the the limiter. It really is that good.
About time this video was made.
wonder why it was all a mystery until now.
ya I've been using the limiter wrong since I bought it a year ago...
Is this worth investing in over simple options like Ozone?
@@justinupchurch1773 simple? Lol Ozone is not simple. It is more complex than this. I have both. Just doesn't sound as sweet :)
this is the best visual manual of the plugin, thanks a lot

Excellent Plugin and presentation. Trev
2023 and the Weiss DS1-MK3 is still the bee's knees.

Insightful
Softube! Do a LinnDrum!
Hello, the final limiter is always stereo unlinked? Greetings from Argentina.
Are these are used together in one instance or over multiple instances of the plug n on a channel?
Is this really worth it in 2023 ? please help, contemplating to buy this one. I already have Fabfilter L2
From what I understand
This is a 1 to 1 replication of the hardware unit which was actually digital software in a physical unit

It's a really transparent compressor/de esser/clipper
With filters to target low end or high end
Alot of control on release as well
And it's very transparent for getting that loudness

It's also on sale rn, but still expensive
would you recommend using 88.6khz for a session using the Weiss plugins for oversampling?
Is there anyway to compare before after but with the same level of loudness ?To be sure how much you are affecting you mastering for example ?

hah...yes...Even Schitt's Creek doesn't have any music in there anymore on Netflix:) Silence is good.
The music sounds amateur. And the plugin did not help at all....I already have this plugin and this video did not convince me to use it

This thing is a BEAST 💪
