Dan's walkthrough of this plugin is amazing but somehow I understood this more maybe it's a bit more at my level of understanding. :)

I've only recently fully understood how to use the dual release element of this plugin and it's absolute magic on the mix bus. This video was really helpful in cementing some of those ideas for me, cheers!

very nice and clear review, I'm using a free version for a while then I switch to the paid version, Kotelnikov GE is my fav tool very transparent and versatile in excellent price ,I always put in mastering chain

I use Kotelnikov in Equalizer APO to reduce gunshots in games. I think some of the features you mentioned may help me, specifically setting the compression the middle of the stereo field.

Great tip! Yes, I can see how compressing mid and side separately could be really useful for some types of games. /Thomas

Very nice overview, thanks. I thought I'd add that I was actually able to get TDR Kotelnikov on the mix buss to make a somewhat solo acoustic guitar recording (recorded with two small-diaphragm condensers) sound smoother and, at the same time, more natural. Quite a nice surprise. I've used it with reasonable success in mastering a full-band mix too, though I found that I had to dial out the RMS component completely to make it sound its best.

01:25 yeh that makes sense, but TDR Kotelnikov is a very transparent compressor. I use TDR Molotok or Focusrite RED3 or Analog Obsession BUSTER SE (ssl modelled) for character, I would never use TDR Kotelnikov as a character compressor. (EDIT: glad I watched to the end as your explanation makes total sense thanks) For me TDR Kotelnikov is more of a precision tool for very specific jobs when I want a little bit of compression but making minimal character changes. Not saying you are wrong to use it as a character compressor, just surprised you did not choose TDR Molotok instead as its got far more character and has options on that character too. However I am not really a Mastering engineer, I only Master my own stuff out of a need to, so I am interested to see what you do here

In my opinion the Kotelnikov is useful when just a bit of character is needed. The Yin/Yang and FDR features are very useful for this. I agree that it can sound very transparent as well. Sometimes I need more or different character and then there are other tools for that. /Thomas

At 4:45, what does it mean to "give the loudness advantage to the bypassed version"? How does this work in practice?
@TheCoreys4 ай бұрын
I can’t get it to sound good on the masterbus, it either compresses too much or won’t glue the mix, maybe the crest or knee settings have to be tweaked somehow to match a classic VCA masterbus compressor?

What are your go-to values for the Knee and for what kind of signal? Funny fact: The Ying and Yang buttons on Kot GE are based on Low Color and High Color in the TDR Feedback Compressor 1 (still available on their site for free, just like the second one).

have you compared it with Weiss compressor module? They said Kotelnikov was designed with Weiss hardware in mind
@MasteringExplained3 жыл бұрын
It's been a while since I used the Weiss DS-1, but as I remember it also sounded very clean and transparent when used as a full band compressor. I mainly used it for deessing or bass compression though. /Thomas
