I have one in my rack. It works smooth and allows some character to your track.. I highly recommend these for some coloration on your vocal tracks or anything else you run through it.
I was re-watching this again bc I am having issues with how I believe my T1952 is working. And I noticed that at around 5:07, you said that the Interactive is really good for bus compression (when the switch was on hard knee) and then you flipped the switch and said interactive (agin) is really good for vocals, etc. I just noticed it and I have watched your video about 10 times - but maybe I am paying better attention bc I am trying to apply it to my gear... Just a note... Thanks for your videos!
Hello Vatche. Thank you (again) for taking time to educate. I have been checking your channel since I started my journey into the digital world a few years ago. From helping me understand patch bays to where I am today you have been a "go to" source for me. I am eagerly awaiting arrival of a T1952 and this video has been watched more than once with a notebook in hand. I also have the ART PRO VLA ii and I'm sure the 1952 will compliment this. So ..... I wish you continuing success and happiness. Very best regards. Pete from Auchtermuchty in Scotland.
@@RecordingStudio9 No problem, you do a great job. If you are based in the Brisbane area, watch out for my good friend. He is known as 'Fozzy' He just moved out your way from Scotland last year. He is a fab folky contemporary musician and seems to be creating a nice positive buzz for himself. Take care and best regards. Pete from Auchtermuchty, Fife, Scotland.(home of The Proclaimers)
I have one, my brother bought it for me years and years ago. Used on vocals but really never cut it for me. Now I plan to use it for over heads, make sense
This depends on the vocal characteristics, microphone used and many other factors. There is no preset settings. I normally aim for steady 6 to 10 dB of gain reduction.
You can get more saturation and 'colour' from T1952, but ART has smoother compression. I use T1952 for keys and synth etc. bus, and ART on drums, guitars, vocals or mix bus.
A mixing console is a (usually large) audio mixer (analog or digital) which in some cases can contain an audio interface (only stereo in/out or a multichannel interface). In a home studio most people use a multitrack audio interface and then us software in the computer as a digital mixing control. Nearly all modern audio interfaces include such a software mixing console. If you like real buttons you could consider the Zoom products since they make cheap small mixing consoles with built-in multichannel audio interfaces.
Here is the original scematics of the unit available on my web site. If you can understand it, then it will confirm your speculation. I guarantee you, the tubes are not there for just show. recordingstudio9.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Behringer-T-1952-Schematics.pdf
could you make a little demonstration? i bought one used, but sometimes i think it dowsnt work, or better to say, the differences are not that big..... would be great to have a reference... thank you
They all have their place depending on which bus i'm compressing. My DBX 1066 is great or drums, while the MDX2600 great or guitars and keys, ART on vocals and bass and T1952 great to add some harmonics and overall glue. But all interchangeable.
I'm scared as I installed a plug in I'n cakewalk it said Im not allowed to put things in this folder I did it anyways im scared now that I get banned or it's illegal
Did you ever make a video about the Warmth Section ? I think you said you did but I could not find it n your channel. Also have you tried to change the Tubes for different tonality ? Any recommendations ?
*** EDIT. I Found and Watched your Pre-Amp Video where you go into Depth about the Vacuum Tube in the Mic Pre. Would you say the circuitry and Tonality is the exactly the same in the Mic Pre AND the Composer ?
Watching this video is faster, more informative and easier to understand than the manual I got with the device

If you change the 12AX7 for ECC83 it will become warmer and high end noise will roll off.
A short audio demo with drums would be cool. That reveals a compressor's character the best, I think.
Sure, as time allows me to run a demo. Maybe next time I'm using it.
I agree!

You are correct, I should have said "Hard Knee" great for bus compression. Slip of thought for that split moment. Thanks for pointing it out.
Fantastic, very well explained. Thanks so much.

thanks for this video. i just bought this unit for $116. plan on using it on vocals.
Hope you enjoy it! You can use in single mode and chain the 2 channels in series for great results.
I've always wondered about this thing. Thanks for the vid! :D
Great video👍🏻
Hello! I am glad that you have shared this! I have collected the 4 vintagers, preamp, eq, comp and FX. Do I need anything else for mastering mixing?
Btw I just recently got the umc1820 and a patchbay too
Great!!! Would you share a typical settings for male vocals singer? Thanks.
This depends on the vocal characteristics, microphone used and many other factors. There is no preset settings. I normally aim for steady 6 to 10 dB of gain reduction.
Hi, are there any differences between this and the T1951 ?
Thank you.
😊
Behringer T1951 is an EQ module where the T1952 is a compressor. Big difference 😉
@RecordingStudio9 cheers , just saw one on Facebook MP , mybad... I actually was after a parametric type post EQ..
Thanks for the reply.
Excellent explanation, I just got one today and needed this. Thank You.
You're welcome!
es normal que no prenda las luces de los vumetros?
If yours are not on, they are blown. Need replacement.
Can it be used for mastering application?
It works like any other compressor. Mastering a song is a human experience task, not really hardware related. Know your gear.
Would you recommend this or the ART VLA II for character, saturation? Not looking for clean.
You can get more saturation and 'colour' from T1952, but ART has smoother compression. I use T1952 for keys and synth etc. bus, and ART on drums, guitars, vocals or mix bus.
Please explain difference between audio interface and mixing console
Please explain what's best for home studio.....?
A mixing console is a (usually large) audio mixer (analog or digital) which in some cases can contain an audio interface (only stereo in/out or a multichannel interface). In a home studio most people use a multitrack audio interface and then us software in the computer as a digital mixing control. Nearly all modern audio interfaces include such a software mixing console. If you like real buttons you could consider the Zoom products since they make cheap small mixing consoles with built-in multichannel audio interfaces.
Thanks for this
I owned one of these. You have to open it and confirm but the tubes are not wired into the sound processing at all. They are just backlit for show.
Here is the original scematics of the unit available on my web site. If you can understand it, then it will confirm your speculation. I guarantee you, the tubes are not there for just show. recordingstudio9.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Behringer-T-1952-Schematics.pdf
Has anyone ran ch1 into ch2 then out to interface? To work as 2 compressors
Yes, many times. Great for up front vocal. I have video using another compressor.
could you make a little demonstration?
i bought one used, but sometimes i think it dowsnt work, or better to say, the differences are not that big.....
would be great to have a reference...
thank you
Sure, if time allows me. But I do have plans for a vocal processing demo using in series mode.
@@RecordingStudio9 thank you:) i know something about compression and hardware, but im not sure if my unit has some issues:).....
what are your settings for vocals?
Every vocal and recording is different. Best to learn how a compressor works so you can set the options correctly.
In your opinion, do you prefer the Behringer T1952, Behringer 2600 or DBX?
They all have their place depending on which bus i'm compressing. My DBX 1066 is great or drums, while the MDX2600 great or guitars and keys, ART on vocals and bass and T1952 great to add some harmonics and overall glue. But all interchangeable.
I'm scared as I installed a plug in
I'n cakewalk it said Im not allowed to put things in this folder I did it anyways im scared now that I get banned or it's illegal
This is normal warning by Windows 10. As long as you know the VST plugin, then it's should be OK to accept.
@@RecordingStudio9 thanks 😀

Unfortunately, I don't have the schematics to check and compare.
