    I love me some opto compression in general. It sounds more musical to me.
    I also use the dynamics function on Saturn to add compression. I set it to the tempo of the track I am mixing/mastering.
    Internal sidechains can be magic. It can be used as to shape the tone of the master as well.
    Thank you for the video.

    Knee is a really important contorl for compression in any track, even for drums. A too agressive knee can make the compression sound obvious and even distort the sound in an ugly way, this is why I never compress if the knee isn't at least 1 dB, even if it's for drums. This is also a reason why I preffer "digital" compressors, as most of them have a knee control.

      Thanks for watching Keroser! The result you get is a quarter note in milliseconds, so you can enter that value into your release or attack. If you want a quicker note, like an 1/8th divide by 2 - or a 1/16th divide by 4.
