I think you have one of the best tutorial videos for LUNA, it is simple and to the point...Bravo.

Thank you very much!

Straight, clear and to the point. Thank you for that. Trying to decide if I'd actually need these after purchasing UAD's Distressor?

[@mixinglessons]

Thank you very much. 🙂 Good question. The Distressor can do a great job of emulating an 1176. I have both, but the 1176 still tends to be my first choice for fast compression. This is largely down to its simplicity and how easy it is to dial in. I opt for the Distressor if I need greater control. So for me, perhaps it's more to do with workflow and familiarity with the 1176, because in terms of sound, the Distressor can absolutely get a similar result. Certainly, if I could only have access to one compressor, it would be the Distressor for its versatility.
