  • I'm not sure its that close to over compression. Plus you have to remember, he's working on a lot of modern and alternative rock these days, which just eats compression for breakfast.

    He obviously overcompressed the room, but who doesnt? I love overcompressed room mics.

    Also I have to say, whoever recorded those tracks did a stellar job at mic placement. For one room, it sounded awesome.

  • So this guy is sitting in the studio full with hardware comps and saying we should buy plug ins ?!?!?!?

    This world is really getting strange ....

  • @Tubevalvemaniac BULLSHIT!!! OLD GEARS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK WELL WITH TAPE!! NOT WITH YOUR REGULAR AUDIO INTERFACE. THESE PLUGINS ARE TOTALLY GREAT SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

  • @MultiGodzila Not everyone can pay for hardware..

  • I didn't like CLA's plugin, like most of other compressor based plugins.

    It can't compete with high-end hardware.

    Still. it might work for younger engineers and musicians.

    Hardware analogue rules and whenever possible I prefer to use it.

  • @Mysticalman68 Have you seen the inside of an LA-2A? There's virtually nothing inside that thing! They're not hard to build yourself, but then, it wouldn't have the label to bring up the price.

  • Am I the only one who thinks it's funny we're A/Bing compressors on a squashed you tube video? I get the characteristics portion, but I'm missing the dynamic range either way.

  • @Cryonne "is the attitude that adds"

  • Can anyone please just help me?

    I can't get what is he saying at [03:03].

    "It's kind of the distortion, is the..., is the... [what?!]."

  • @MultiGodzila If actual 1176s and LA2s were cheap and easy to find, that would be totally strange, but how many people can afford the real thing?

  • This guy knows how to explain compression - i never seen someone that knows how to explain better then this guy - you are great - good energy - thanks for sharing your knowledge .

    

  • he's honest......
