[@johnlance3860]

You are taking me back Warren! Wish I still had mine!

[@WarrenHenry]

John! Thanks for watching. I am still getting emails from people asking me about this compressor. Thanks again for watching and Happy Holiday to you

[@MMSMUZIK]

Very informative! Thanks

[@WarrenHenry]

My Brotha! Hope you are well and thanks for watching

[@MMSMUZIK]

@WarrenHenry BLESSED!! Great to have you back my brother!!!!

Hi Warren, thanks for taking the mystery out of the processs .....

[@WarrenHenry]

My pleasure!!

[@noisefuljoy]

Thanks Warren! I'm using mine on FOH main outs before the crossover. Looking for a bit of comp before hard limit to prevent catastrophy. It looks like I better just go for the hard limit.

[@WarrenHenry]

Thanks for watching 👍🏾🙏🏾✌🏾

I wouldn't use a 3630 on anything with important low end content. It cuts the low end considerably just running through the circuit. But it's a nice unit to learn how to use compression. I still have mine and I'll never sell it.

[@WarrenHenry]

True! And yes, hold on to it. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽✌🏽

[@kiosko33hz]

There are different signal processors that you can put on the tail of the 3630 to get that low end where you want/need.

Hello, I am into streaming live DJ sets online and I am looking for a processor that will give that Radio sound and keep my audio at one level instead of one song being too loud or too low. What would you recommend?

[@WarrenHenry]

If you know how to use expansion. Then an expander like the DBX 163x might work. Hope that helps thanks for watching.

[@konstantinossarikos7181]

Nice video…the input and output is unbalanced?

[@WarrenHenry]

You have the choice to switch between both on back of unit. Thanks for watching

[@poxcr]

@@WarrenHenry WTF are you talking about? The switches in the back change the input level, all connections are unbalanced and cannot be changed.

[@dannydaniel8975]

​@@poxcr Hahahaha!!!

[@kiosko33hz]

@@poxcr Very ignorant comment. All switches (-10) (+4) on any studio recording equipment are there for you to manage unbalanced or balanced signal input. Study and learn before commenting nonsense.

[@lucianappleton1212]

Lol, who uses that anymore man.

[@WarrenHenry]

Oh you'll be surprised.

[@MMSMUZIK]

Lots of engineers still use it, and it still works amazing! I have 2 of them myself!

[@WarrenHenry]

@@MMSMUZIK It has the DBX VCA chip which is what made them so popular.

[@MMSMUZIK]

@@WarrenHenry Facts, and still ranked in the top 20 compressors of all time!

[@ninja_baseball_bat_man]

Me for one. It’s a great compressor. Does a better job depending on the situation than $3k compressors I’ve owned. People who say it’s dirty and noisy have no clue. If anything it’s too clean. It’s impossible to make it distort regardless of how hard you hit it which is pretty remarkable.
