he showed how it works, not how you from now on HAVE TO use it on every song you ever mix, right? If you don't like it, don't use it and if you like it use your ears ...
I liked the compressed snare sound very warm, musical and pleasant but i would've backed it off in the console just a bit it's way over the top of the dry snare.. IMO it just lacks a more precise blending between the two. Man i LOVE the TubeTech snap on drums!
Tight uncompressed snare sound is much more suitable for the track than the over compressed sound. Clever engineering, but I guess we all have different tastes.
However, I guess the purpose of this video was to show what's possible and I'd say job well done.
wrong for that kind of style? seriously dumb comment. 1. There are no rules and 2. it makes the dead sounding snare come to life, kinda important for a live recording.
@gscottsyndicate totally agree. i would still use some of the more heavily compressed signal in the mix, but less of it. I would also have the settings less aggressive.
Call me nuts, but I really like the sound of the uncompressed snare on its own in that mix. The hypercompressed snare is overmixed and creates an aggressive bed of noise in the song, it robs space and depth from the mix. You call the naked snare 'dead', I call it 'organic.' Some sat and a just kiss of leveling from that gorgeous compressor would round out the body of the drum and, imho, serve the music much better.
@gscottsyndicate agreed. if anything, he should've sent that compressed version on its own track and made it gated, only opening up when original hits...
man, maybe you can help me out here. i have a instrumental which i collect for listening purposes. the snare drum i cant get to sound right. you have all that fancy equipment if send you the instrumental can you fix it for me.
It's The old Workhouse console from the now closed Workhouse Studio in London.
The console is said to have recorded all the early Manfred Mann hits + a lot of other classics from those days.The console has been in MOX studio, Denmark since 1980.
It brings so much bleed through that way.

The compressed channel brings in a lot of outside shit.

The purpose of this video is to show one of the functions of the LCA 2B, not to discuss personal views on if it sounds good or not.

I know the point of the video is to show the COMPRESSOR and not the COMPRESSION done to the snare but man was that truly wrong for that style of song

Beautiful console! Also, this is a nice, concise demonstration.
The compressor sounds pretty good, too.
