Thanks for the informative video brotha. Are u familiar with the compressor on the Analog Heat? Do you have any thoughts on it? Imma go ahead and sub now!

[@thatcostasound]

Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽 Yeah that thing is really versatile. Takes it a little step further than just compression. Besides the compression types, there’s EQ, Saturation, EFX. You can actually do a lot to the signal.

[@sawssman965]

@@thatcostasound agreed. do you like the compressor on it? and would you say its best used as a bus mastering type or better used for front end of synths and stuff? or general purpose? My terminology probably isnt the best. Im a relative newb. Thanks for the response.

[@thatcostasound]

@@sawssman965 Overall I would say it’s general purpose but I think you’ll find yourself using it on bus processing rather than individual channels.

[@sawssman965]

@@thatcostasound thanks bro. I'll be tuning in 4 sure.

Do you ever use analog compressors like the Behringer UV1?

[@thatcostasound]

Not Behringer specifically… But yes, I do use analog compressors. LA 2A, 1176, Tube Tech, SSL… It really depends on what I’m compressing and how I want it to feel.

[@americatunedright1211]

If you know how to use a synth then you know how to use a compressor, ADSR. If the compressor doesn’t have attack or release then it’s a color box/leveler, if it does then you are shaping the sound.

[@thatcostasound]

Right.. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽

@@thatcostasound KZbin algorithm has been better lately as in recommending new or not so popular users. It’s been interesting.

[@thatcostasound]

Yes, we’re a new and growing community but KZbin algorithm has been great 🙏🏽

When need synths compression?

[@thatcostasound]

Well compression is mainly for controlling dynamics but it can also make something sound more aggressive depending how it’s used. I actually put a maximizer on synths a lot of the time, since limiting is another form of compression. A maximizer can also adds a little color and get the synth to pop out the track.

[@kisho2679]

Thank you. Which are advisable hardware maximazers for synths?

[@thatcostasound]

@@kisho2679I usually do this in the box. Waves has the L3 I like to use for synths.
