It´s a beast...I would love to get deeper into it... I always use it and I mostly choose presets and tweak them a little.. But I want to dive deeper and you are doing great tutorials. Thank you very much.
You have tackled a number of very serious mastering compressors in the last year - SPL Iron, Bx SHMC class A, Vari-Mu and now this Unisum. I know it is human nature to be taken with the newest gadget but how do you tend to rate all of these for your own use? Ive REALLY liked the Iron in the last year. I’ve a PA Mega subscription so I also have the new SHMC Class A, which I recently used on a heavier rock song and it was a perfect match. I’ve not tried the new Vari-Mu plugin that you recently reviewed but I have the UAD Manley (is it that much better?). Now this. Would you ever use this in a series with a more colored mastering processor like the Vari-Mu or SHMC (used politely) - almost as if the SHMC is an extension of the master buss coloration and so a bridge between the master buss comp and this more, final transparent mastering compressor before the limiter? Or either one or the other? ***edit - demo’d the Unisum and then promptly scraped, clawed and scratched $149 to pick it up at the intro price. Very impressed.
Thank you for detailed and clear info. This compressor will shine in hands of someone who knows what he's s doing and what the track needs to be used effectively and efficiently without wasting precious session time and introduce ear fatigue with too much on and off tweaking. Otherwise it will be like giving an untrained driver a twin turbo 700hp car and ask him to do the best lap time. Most probably he's gonna crash it
Thanks for the overview. Grabbing the trial version now. Btw, control some of those high mids on your voice recording. For a dialogue mixer like me it's a little grating all by itself.
Mike, thanks for the helpful tutorial. I'm wondering, at 10:00 you said that if the channel linking knob is set to the left "locked" the peak/rms knob becomes unavailable. I don't understand why that is and how those are related? Whether GR is applied to the left, right, both, etc, why wouldn't we be able to vary between RMS/peak bias?
There is a learning curve to every plugin, no matter how simple. Every processor has a sweet spot, things that it's good at, and you're stuck with the limited capabilities. This thing has almost no limitations in terms of the control You can start by using this plugin in the most simple way, only using the normal compression settings, get used to how it wrks, and then start adding in the extra features as you need them. When you're ready to learn more it's all there for you.

I think “Hygge” refers to a danish word that can be very roughly described as “a feeling of coziness, comfort and well-being ”, amongst other things.
Thank you!!! What a great reference!
Google translates "hygge" to "fun" in english, for whatever that's worth

very informative video, thanks

Is this plugin just for the mastering process or can it be used on the master bus like an ssl comp?
It can be used pretty much in any scenario. So versatile. Try it on not so well recorded vocals for example.

Looks like it would take years to master this plugin
It usually take yers, to master anything ;)
