I don’t have a single go-to for drums or bass, but I do like to keep the Waves CLA-2A on my kick bus for when I need to tighten things up. I don’t always engage it but sometimes it’s like an instant fix for a loose sounding kick.
Wow, crazy how much of a difference this plugin makes when enabled compared to bypassed ! Especially in the whole mix and how much life it gives to each instrument, great explanation of it !
4 years late writing...Raytwown Productions. I watched your and Warren Huart's reviews - both excellent. In my experience unless this thing is on fast it's useless. B. Like Warren, the defaults very hard or impossible to improve on. It's great on bass, I just used it on a Fender 6 and it did a credible job. I haven't tried it on vocals so no opinion. I find it pretty iffy other instruments. I guessed I would only use it on bass and so far that's been the case. I like it for 39 bucks on mono electric bass it's great. Like I wrote Warren, I find it very difficult to believe at this price point it's a lot like the hardware in professional hands but what do I know. Good video!
This vari-mu compressor is suitable for (small) masters, the only one i know that remains supermusical in the low end. Fairchild emulations can give a prettier sound, but not if you include drums and (sub) bass

I love the 2a on my bass right after any amp sim or distortion to help it gel together. 🤘

Good video!
Love how much room/verb stuff it brought up and cranked when you switched it on! Gives a nice lively kind of aura to the drums 👌
Thanks so much! It really did make the drum pop and give the track another dimension!
Awesome and detailed explanation! Thanks Bobby!
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Was really cool to hear this come together, great work man!! Got that buttery vibe I dig
It's that special sauce 😂
Great video Bobby! This looks like a great product. I appreciate you showing what this thing is all about. I will have to get now.
Happy to help! Cheers!
Waves running their usual sale right now
Unusual

Wow that release time is insane! I’m going to have to check this one out out. Thanks Bobby!
Of course! Thanks so much for watching. Try it on vocals - silky smooth 😃
On the drums, how does it compare to the Kramer pie compressor?
Different animals, but similar movement!
young man, that was incredible.. WOW, I need that thing..
It's definitely different sounding. Super smooth. Thanks for watching man!
@@RaytownProductions Yes sir.. I like your demo more than Waves.. Great job dude..
That means a lot to me. Thank you so much!
That super slow attack is punch city on the bass
For real man. It's pretty amazing how it controls the bass so well in the mix but doesn't sound compressed🤘
the release time was so long i went to make a sandwich and by the time i got back it was still going haha that does sound pretty killer though!
Could cook a 3 course meal before it returns in cutter mode 😂😂
@@RaytownProductions i could raise a cow from birth to make the steaks for that 3 course meal before it returns in cutter mode lol
@@johnnydove literally laughed out loud 🤣
It’s not compare with older Mac’s.
