Truly love your channel. God bless!
I think I might be mad. I've had my hearing tested and it's perfectly good and I understand the theory but I just don't hear any difference in any of these videos.
By the way ! Super tuto ! Pas mal la pub pour le tout dernier plugin gratos ! Dans la mesure où l'on dirait que ta capsule justifie cela !!! Ceci dit, tu fais un super boulot ! Congratulations !!! Thanx for all !!! :):):)
Hi Chris, thank you for this vidéo.
Just a stupid question about 1176, usually fast attack/release is on the right of the knob, isn't it ?
Try, this you will see , the comp is more effective, fighting more with transients.
Great job, thank you for all the tutorials you provide us. ❤
love your videos , thank you ,very Helpfull to me
You talk too much, go straight to the point without saying much sir
i dont underestand these compression videos everything sounds exactly the same
Sir how to use 2 audio interfaces same time in cubase
Great vid. You can also use smart comp… It does the transient peak management and lifting the body.. Much like waves m2 with added advantage of incredible spectral control. I'm trying to ditch the endless train of plugs…pretty much sc2 is THE fixer. Then add salt to taste ie vintage
You mentioned that you might approach the compression differently if it was an upright bass in a jazz context. Just curious how you might apply compression on upright in an acoustic jazz trio, no drums? I have my go-to’s but I’m curious if you have something new I could explore a bit. Thanks
Please don't get me wrong, but I did not hear out any difference, when you bypassed any of the compressors.
Anyway, the theory behind comprssion was nicely described, so that even me got it.
I hope!
Thank you!
Try talking a copy of your bass track then use the "glue" preset of Cubase's Bass VST amp and then mix it in subtly – adds all the weight that's missing from this bass track.
You using a "FET" type compressor – except you're not – the key sound of an 1176 is the distortion you get with the compression – it's just the way they work. By using the UAD 1176 Legacy you are just getting totally clean compression with the attack and release slopes of an 1176 – there' no hardware emulation going on – no FET sound – may as well use a stock compressor plugin.
Bass and drums are a poor pastiche of "It's My Life" by Talk Talk.
Thanks for video, analog obsession has been my fav plug ever since I’ve discovered it❤
Thanks! Yes, more of these!
I like the sound of the bass in the second tune.
I suppose there are compression, saturation and eq ahead of the amplifier?
Vocal strip by Chiccarelli for bass too ?
Is it just me or does the bass already sounds compressed before going through the processing? I hear a pumping effect.
in Case you didn't check on the Waves MV2 for Bass compression, you really missed out… it's a perfect match.
My goto compression workflow explained here in a straight forward way. The 1176 and LA2 also work very well together on a drumbus.
Thanks Chris! As usual a very goof tutorial. Cheers from Antwerp.
Very good video, Chris, thank you. That seems to be the same “dual vocal compression” technique for dynamic vocals. I wonder what would be your first approach for a bass with poor punch, using compression. I guess an envelope shaper could help too.
You’re the king of compression ! ????????
thank you!
Good one!
