is compressing drums something people SHOULD do ( i mean the ENTIRE drum set ) ?? I compress the snair and kick and thats it. if you compress the snair and kick, should you also compress the entire set AFTER the snair and kick are compressed ??

This is what pisses me off, if UAD is so good at what they do why didn't they emulate the warmth of the signal and any other distinctive characteristics? otherwise it sounds pretty much like the rest of the emulated compressors out there. And what's even worse I'm no engineer and I have to point this out so why does no one else seem to mention these things?

Agreed, but who are you mixing for: for mixing engineers or the average joe who listens to your work? Will he hear the difference? I doubt it.

Yeah this fucks are like... yeah man i dun over compress, than you ask them about Zep or Jimmy and they go Oh NO i LOVE Jimmy Hendrix... basically repeating the same shit they read on some dumb magazine .... listen you pantsies I FUCKING OVER COMPRESS THE SHIT OUT DRUMS but not vocals cause they sweet kiss kiss hug hug no homo adios

The more you mix, the more your ears are trained to hear subtle differences. That is also why mixing takes years of practice! :-)

Good video and great plugin but there is a point at the end where I don't agree: if you always increase the output to match the max gain reduction value (3dB in this case) it will always sound louder due to the fact that compressed signal's average loudness has increased as well. 3dB reduction doesn't always require 3dB gain match, thats why I "hate" auto gain function on the compressors as they only follow a mathematical way of compensating the gain reduction..

damn, I didn't heard any difference except maybe a little sound from the background maybe a keyboard? shoot

Oceanway Nashville has at least 3 of them. I saw them in the A,B,and C rooms there. I didn't view the D room. This plugin sounds pretty good IMHO. The real thing obviously sounds a lot better than this though. I would buy this plugin no question about it. The other they have may be copies but our engineer there didn't specify. I've seen these in other studio as well. Sometimes we run through them without hitting them just for the warmth of the signal.

this is definitely my go-to drum bus compressor. got a very convinving analog sound.
