The knowledge is priceless but I can not stop laughing at all the cut scenes. The entertainment value in these videos are golden. The breakdancing fly, the bouncing seal, lol nice.

LMAO! We have too much fun man

And the last one, the FET-compressor (1176). Very fast transistor comp that also color the sound some. No treshold, just 4 knobs, in, out, attack and release. Attack on 3, release on 7 for vocals, 4:1 ratio. Often combined with an LA-2A. My UAD Fairchild 670 is my favourite compressor, always on drums and very often on most of my other tracks as well. My Swiss army knife for compression, glue, saturation and volume gain, all in one (yup, I'm sometimes lazy). Keep up the good work!

Heck yea man! 1176 is my go yo
