      SPL Iron is an amazing compressor. It is the compressor I use for the end mastering chain, because of it's transparency and subtlety. Though, this AMEK compressor added something to the energy of the music that wasn't so transparent but well-rounded and full.

      @@lesauskis1 SPL Iron - yes, it's good. I also use it from time to time. But (as everyone has long known) SPL Iron has a lot of aliases and artifacts. Because it was badly done (not completely fixed all the problems and did not do internal high-quality re-describing of the OS). I really like the sound of the Shadow Hill red version - it gives more depth and different colors. Why they are so enthusiastic about this compressor - which is on the video, I still do not understand. We have had an overabundance of compressor plugins for a long time - but there are fewer Good ideas / Hits.

      That was the one I fell in love with right from the bat. That was one of the SPL plugins I really bought, together with the Hawkeye, transient designer. I love to use this one on female vocals. And on soft synths. I have this one as well in my bundle, but I don't use this one much. The Amek EQ's those I use on the masterbus for mastering.

    Honestly speaking this is not something irreplaceable for the engineers who are not only owning PA's mega bundle. IMO bw is not doing the correct marketing things, nowadays we focus on tools that can improve our workflow, Koletnikov and Unisum can do better (may be much) than this. I do recommend users who own HD system to try PA HD plugins (they are amazing) but for users who have more options this is somewhat like a tool that "try and forget".

    First off: Great sounding track, White Sea! The double bass and piano sound wonderful. They're two of the most difficult instruments, along with voice, to record, IMHO.
    This is a " knock-off" of the GML compressor but with simpler controls than the new GML plug-in version. I used the analog version, back in the day; it sounded good. But like the plug-in(s) it wasn't exactly a quick setup. Good job, as usual.

      Whelp, that's the fun part about this topic, isn't it? Apple doesn't care and Apple will break stuff so only Logic and FinalCut are working at times. That's their strategy for a long time. Now who should pay for dealing with that? Apple? Why would they do it? Developer? ...paying all the manhours needed to fixing and recompiling from their own pocket? They'd go bankrupt in few years. Customer? Whelp, we all know how we feel about subscriptions. By "Take care of us!" you essentially say "Pay your programmes to fix problems Apple intentionally caused. Indefinitely. Thank you." ...you have two options. Either stop upgrading the system or switch to Windows, because as shitty as that system is, they do care for backward compatibility. During my 15 years of producing I had ONE plugin that fell off during incompatibility. One. :)

      If there is one common theme over the years with audio production, it is Mac users complaining about incompatible software, OS updates, etc. I wonder how much developer time is spent trying to keep up with Apple’s software-breaking updates. And this is for a user experience based on “It just works”. Mac users, why are you constantly updating before confirming your software, you paid for, actually works?

    Why does it take so long for developers to resolve issues in new MacOS versions? Because they don't have early beta access because Apple is so awesome in being secretive about everything they do. Every upgrade may involve significant changes in how MacOS handles audio, which may remove previous functionalities, which may be replaced by new fancier functionalities.

      @@timsarlos6403 It's not early enough, from what I've heard at least in the past (might have changed meanwhile, who knows). Specifically, if they remove functionalities and don't provide adequate replacement, developers need to come up with better solutions. Then you need to change all the references and implementation of that piece of code you had implemented. That usually costs a lot of money. That's why companies either let it slide for a long enough time or simply release a new product of the same product family to say "Look, new shiny toy, works with new shiny MacOS, too! Buy now!". Specifically, if you have a long reaching pipeline filled with new to-be-developed products, you don't calculate all the potential troubles, that a new audio driver implementation of MacOS might bring and the time a developer needs to fix it.

      Even the most detailed mix, that would take a lot of time, wouldn't achieve the same level of glue as a master buss compressor would with just a few seconds of tweaking.
      Could a mixing engineer achieve this same interaction of tracks with automation or clever sidechaining? Possibly, it depends on how much glue is needed I suppose. But I would argue that it would be inefficient use of time (and therefore a waste of clients' money).

    The interface is quite terrible ; half of it is useless in link mode and the visualization is too small, you can see he's squinting and getting close to his monitor to see what's going on. If this was made by FabFilter the graph would take 80% of the interface and would be interactive. This one looks so busy. Also no auto-gain.

    Macs, eh? They haven’t been the best choice for audio since about 2007-8. Now they’re just a headache and riding on reputation.
    I stopped using Macs when they dropped the tower format and launched the black suppository.
    I haven’t regretted it for a second, even though I still use a MacBook and iPhone. For audio , Windows now just works and I have been choosing the power I need with the cost I can afford since then. Macs just don’t make sense for anything that requires more than web or maybe a little static visual design. And don’t get me started on dropping NVidia….
    Of course, MS is now doing the ‘Apple Knows Best’ thing, and I’m concerned ‘Microsoft Knows Best’ will be worse. I can’t stand it when a computer second guesses me, as I use them for pro stuff like audio and 3D rendering, it almost always guesses wrong. At least I can still turn that shit off on Windows! For now!
    I do miss the Unix command line, though. But I can live with that.
