    I revisited this video. I learned to love this compressor over the last few weeks. It took a certain (long) time to dig it and now I don't want to miss it on the arsenal. I think it will still surprise me due to the huge variety of different tones and dynamic movement it provides. Yeah, gain matching is not the easiest thing to do here :) I think it's an amazing sculpting tool. Softube did an amazing work on this, at least imo. Cheers

    It's a FET compressor but use the Diodes as a resistance element to change the knee and color, so actual GR is handled with a FET.

      Ah yes, that explains the distortion characteristic too!

    Just wanted to say your work in this video sold me on this compressor. I don't usually care for the music you feature during Mixing with Mike sorry to say. This song however came to life more than any other I've seen you work with and by the time it was over I was loving it even though I wasn't fond of it at the beginning. I always appreciate your knowledge Mike, Thank You. GERMANIUM!

    It might very well be the best compressor emulation i've heard! And the versatility of it... what a scary unit!

    very cool to hear your excitement about this. i'm surprised that you never used the physical unit since it seems you've used everything! haha. i will be adding this to my arsenal (because of your review!) when it drops below 200

    sounds good but i really think there needs to be more room downwards on the gain compensation

  • @blueleafstudio
    @blueleafstudio 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really want to love this compressor but like you said, it's so hard to manage, I find it very unwieldy and difficult to tame. I add it to stuff, then always end up removing it later for one reason or another.
    Are there any mix classes you've done where you use this extensively?

  • @m.i.stapes
    @m.i.stapes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its like it just starts to get really fun with the input, drive, and feedback knobs cranked to the right and output cranked to the left. Looks like room for gain structure updates?

    Excellent review. I'd be interested to know how it competes with the Zener model from DMG audio, which is an excellent emulation as well. Cheers

      I did when it first came out and couldn't seem to wrap my head around it. I think it's worth a revisit though as these somewhat quirky designs often provide a unique sound.

      Not really. You just have to know how to apply it. I do pop and edm as well as trap and it works great. It adds body and density to my tracks. Run it in clean mode and don't push the drive and feedback
