    Hey David! Thank you so much for your work. It is gold! I don’t know anyone on youtube who has such well explained and professional contents about audio production and mixing. You answered so much questions I had especially when I was a beginner back in 2017. I’m glad you are so dedicated. I usually don’t write comments on TH-cam but I must say again : just thank you !

    Once again, David, great info, thanks! I have collected WAY too many compressor plug ins.. all of them are great, but I am now needing some tips on choosing the best design for best application. This overview was awesome, I look forward to each deep dive on each type.

    Funny how you adviced to use fairchail compressors in a subtle and transparant way, while I liked it the most when I used it in paralel on a drumbus while absolutely cranking the living shit out of the knobs in mid side. I really liked how that changed the stereofield. And pulled up so many detailed details while also making the drums sound more moving and alive.
    I played with a hardware version

What if you wanna use like 20 different outboard gear, would you not need a patchbay then? I have 16 input and 16 output channels using one audio interface with 8 channels and a digital adat for 8 more. But that wouldnt be enough to hook up like 20 outboard gear.

    Great video, I'm slowly getting through the whole compressor series. Question -- why doesn't anyone ever talk about modern digital compressors, not based on analog hardware? I use Logic, and they have the "Platinum" compressor, and I think Ozone has a digital limiter/compressor as well. For my ears, these plugins can control dynamics as fast or slow as you want, with 0 artifacts. I sometimes use the Platinum to control dynamics, and then a vintage modeled plug in (or hardware) to get the tone I want. Is this common among pro mixers?

    • @mixbustv
