Thanks David for the detailed video!
You bet!
I really appreciate the quality of your screen capture
Thank you
the optical is something that is in the hardware. It even says in the distressor manual that with those attack release settings you can sort of emulate opto-VCA style compressors
Thanks for watching!
It return the attach to 10 and the release to 1 because that's how the opto mode is engaged on any distressor plugin.....I like the fact that TRACks reminds you when you change that setting... If it didn't turn off when you moved the attack knob, probably the attack is adjustable as it is on the empirical lab arousor (attack modification)
Thanks for watching
The IK plugins are more subtle and can dial in more to me. It’s got a unique feel to it.
Thanks for watching!
Does the Freq knob actually cause it to compress more at the selected frequency or does it just emphasize that frequency more, in terms of what's triggering the compressor?
not sure, read the manual
Aren't those the exact same thing?
@@JiihaaS no, the difference is the compression is equal across all frequencies but the compressor is more sensitive to being triggered at the selected frequency. Once triggered however all frequencies are compressed equally because it's not a multiband compressor.
Ah man that uad one sounds amazing! Holy crap I need to look into one of their interfaces
Thanks for watching!
He owns the UAD and was only just playing with the Comprexxor for the first time.. hardly a fair comparison
Optical mode has a yellow line guidance around attack and releaae...
Attack 4 to 10
Release 0 to 2
So you can change attack and release within those limits without shutting the optical off.
Thanks!
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Sorry for my very stupid mindless comment yesterday (too much beer), I've watched it closer now, good review, you put a lot of effort in it, thank you for that! But I am actually curious about what you can say about how many compressors you need? I came to the conclusion that I have too many plugins that are doing more or less the same thing, that's where my burp originated from. But maybe that is too much off topic.
No worries! i appreciate your comment. You're correct.....most have way too many plugins that pretty much do all the same thing...LOL. In my opinion, I would say you should have a FET, VCA, OPTO style compressor. That will cover most situations.
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Yes, since I've upgraded my monitoring this is more evident than ever, I have way too many of the same thing LOL... And I can understand how when you listen to something that's new and shiny on sale, can trick you into think that new thing is better :-)... Heck, some old Waves plugins I've had for many years, still match it with some of the newest plugins on the market today, they really do sound oh so similar and in a mix no-one is going to know.
IK are giving this away FREE until September 2022 Just need to fill in a short survey! No brainer - get it
NICE!
I wonder why this is not showing up in the T-Racks Custom Shpp?
Not sure
pretty nuts that all compressor plugins don’t have a HP filter, let alone a Mix control. this seems great
Great point!
Great review, couldn't hear much of a difference between the two, both do an amazing job... I do like that UA one a fraction better though!
Ashame you can't get the demo of the Impirical Labs one and do a comparison :-)
Maybe at one point
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy I just did demo it against empirical labs and also Softubes version, they all sound very similar, if anything the IK Multimedia one is a tad warmer with the coloration knob (but it was just a very quick compare on my vocals)... I would recommend going for whichever one is on sale at the time for great results :-)
@@adammusic1124 I do like this IK version a whole lot. The UAD distressor of course sounds great too as does the arouser. To be fair they all sound fantastic, very similar. But I might recommend the Arouser because it's on the one hand super easy to use. But on the other hand it allows for super fine-tune control of each section as well, if you want to. But it isn't cheap. It's worth the splurge if you can get it on sale. I could delete every other plugin, just use the arouser and be happy. The IK though is on sale for $39.99 at the moment, that's hard to beat.
He owns the UAD and was only just playing with the Comprexxor for the first time.. hardly a fair comparison
how are the new IK plugins on cpu???
very CPU friendly!
The pumping is better on the IK. Cymbals get a little too unnatural on the UAD.
Thank you for watching!
every single plugin made by IK Multimedia is screaming -" don't spend money on me" LOL
Yea! I wish they were not so good so I would not have to buy anything.....LOL
UAD sounds more stereo and closer to real unit, I have slate digital version ,Empirical labs and deflector from UBK and comprexxor demo version, to my ears all three of them sounds better compare to comprexxor
I wouldn't be surprised. IK plugins always seems to be a lot different to their hardware counterparts and that's why I always end up using something else when it comes to analog emulations
Good point!
@@danoakgrove sometimes it's good but not always
do you know the differences between dist 3 and 2 ? like what happens between them
@@Renaxelo This lets you select 2nd or 3rd order harmonic saturation.
Hi My experience with Ik platform its nightmare, i try a hour instaling this. A 2 years earlier i try other giveaways nothing change its not intuive or efficient, its BS ! Even cnt send them message becouse "invalid characters" wtf ?! really Wy other companies can do this easy ?! But i must say ik had really good plugins (I try them couple years ago. dont ask how;) but platform register authorize etc its a BS. Thats my opinion. I write this after instaling this Comprexxor and after trying to comunicate with IK. Sory but its really anoyind (delictae saying...). I will never buy them if Ik dont fix this issues.
I have never had those sorts of issues with their plugins and I have never had any of my students mention this sort of thing. However, if you are having a difficult time then I would just use someone else plugins. IK does not make a plugin that some other manufactures do not make.
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Great but i cant using normal only on trial version and i tired to figure out this . I have never had issuses with other developers even using ilok or product menage app. Soo lest be onest somethings in ik dont work propely. I really like there sutff (Black 76, CSR etc.) but still its problem to authorize or something its BS for me. Grettings
iam not even not using my mastering room to hear that compresxxor sound really weak and bad..no saturation going on, but distressors are saturated comps for sure..so basically ik made not a distressor...what they made is interface with random compressor from coding guy head..so basically we have a digital something different which is just different...not bad..its different..different in mix are good
Ok, thanks for watching!
Real analog compression sounds better. Even a old Alesis 3630
Ok, thanks for watching!
