      ​​​@@voinrima I've compared my Waves 1176+LA2A vocal chain with Cubase Tube Vintage comps etc. With a little tweaking you can achieve exactly the same result !! ...overtones and attack behavior included. (Measurement/Analyzer/HP+ears: double signal left (Waves) and right (Cubase comps) hard panned - same sound, same levels, same modulation. It works great.

    I just love that we have all these choices, and they are all included in the DAW and 3 of those are available right in the channel strip. I almost never use a 3rd party dynamics processor plug ins except for more special effects or the final mastering dynamics processor.

    Hey Dom! Nice work, as always!! I was waiting on this video updating on the old one u made a few years back :).
    I'm a bit confused about what is going on under the hood of the voxcomp, can you tell me if it is by chance the classic combination of a 1167 style and a LA2A style? Or should I add the vintage/tube/valve compressor before or after it?

    Voxcomp is great for getting your vocals sit in the mix and to bring it forward. I find it to be somewhat harsh in the upper mid when compared to other 3 party plugins (mostly using UAD, distressor etc.) Is this something you´ve noticed as well?

    I like simple Compressor, on drums, on mix busses, side-chain, or when I need just plain simple compression
    Vox comp is great for Vocals obviously,
    Black valve - on synths, brasses, etc.
    Vintage compressor - on parallel compression, sometimes on vocals, guitars
    as for Tube Comp - I tried it several times for different scenarious, but it didn't work for me, so not using it

  • @voinrima
    @voinrima 2 місяці тому

    The only thing that separates Pro-C2 from being an absolute allround beast is the distortion comression. Other clean compressors are useless, for example there is no wide knee settings or a graph screen. The Knee is maybe the most important thing in the whole compression.
