I love the townhouse! I use it on r & b mixes! My clients love the end result vs using the waves version

[@firstname7566]

The town house comp was a modified A console bus comp..the other bus comp is based on the G console

[@BukanIbuMu]

No the native is based on their digital console

[@MIHAO]

i use the townhouse on every mix ever since i got it. i do like the ssl v2 comp a lot though! (waiting for a sale lol)

[@johanh9637]

Nice🔥 Thank you for the video

[@jaymusik1235]

Thanks bro

[@jaymusik1235]

For real i find the town house sounding good but i use it so gently the compression stages are different as it was model from a rare type vca ssl bus comp. But ssl native bus comp does have that character that ssl bus comp has but they really didn't put in the effort to add some of that anolog weight to thier vst like the townhouse version. Bx really stapple the town house plugin. Both has its place, am grateful for both.

[@johnisrael5183]

On Masterbus...this gives you the best Punch on your Kick..and smoothing out the High End in my opinion compared to the Native SSL Bus Comp 2, Slate Digital Grey, Waves SSL G Comp or UAD G Comp...I think the Townhouse smokes them on masterbus

[@user-py5fk9ot8o]

do you use brainworx also on drum bus , or is it for just master channel to glue it?

[@StudioLife101]

@@user-py5fk9ot8o I've stopped using it much now....UAD 2500 on drum bus and hardware SSL style comp on stereo bus. 👍

[@user-py5fk9ot8o]

[@johnisrael5183]

I have to alter my Statement on these...."in the is this shit spirit" LOL....townhouse...comp sounds the best in mastering situations in a DAW to me......but...on Tracks....SSL G Comp might be better because its more transparent....so they are really not comparible...one is open and clear for buses...and the other one is Harmonically Distorted about 15%.....

[@Harrysound]

I've been eating for the bundle of the channel strip 2 and bus comp to go on sale for months now, check most days but nothing. quite interested in a UC1 but need a generic midi mode so I can control brainwork plugins with it lol

[@rishabhbose29]

It's on sale now mate. 50 bucks. Go for it coz I am too

[@Harrysound]

@@rishabhbose29 I ended up getting a UC1 and recently a second hand UF8 so I’m good :)

Fuck i missed it.

@@chrisvanloo1007 it’ll be a year before it’s on sale again, look around Easter….or buy a uc1 and have zero regrets!

Its going on now

[@MaximumLevelAudio-BrianKnop]

NO SOUND EXAMPLES?

[@StudioLife101]

NOOOO! No lower case? 😂 Said it a lot….we do reviews not demos. Too many variables…download a trial and test for yourself! KZbin audio will skew your opinion and do you really need to hear some crappy copyright free loop stuffed through another plugin? 😂😂🙄

[@MaximumLevelAudio-BrianKnop]

@@StudioLife101 honestly, I'd never seen this channel until today, so there's no way to know. With words like "Face Off" and "Compare" in the description, I absolutely expected to hear examples as I started clicking ahead to skip the talking. Went back and forth clicking a few times thinking "did I miss it? where's the comparison?" Yes, loops suck, and there are those variables + YT degradation. But I still trust my own ears over half the opinions people give after the demo on their videos! P.S. I did download the demo. But apparently I had activated one sometime in the past (I think I installed the SSL bus when I got my UF-8, but ended up slammed that week and never even got to open it), so I'm stuck with crappy loops and a quickly expiring sale until SSL answers my email and gives me a demo license. 😛 Sorry for the annoyed reaction! As usual, I'm slammed, and playing catch up. Plus the SSL never comes on sale.

[@StudioLife101]

@@MaximumLevelAudio-BrianKnop No worries…The SSL bundle is on sale now….£49 for the channel strip 2 and the bus comp 2. Bargain I reckon….appreciate the reply. Hope you stick around 👍

[@partlysimpson5154]

TOWNHOUSE BUS what setting would u start off on house music drum bus?

[@StudioLife101]

Attack at 3….release at .1, Ratio 2:1 or 4:1, lower threshold until it sounds tight and punchy…👍

[@johnisrael5183]

Honestly AlexB and Tim P Plugins for N4.5 pretty much blow...brainworx, native ssl, slate and UAD awwwaayy...LOL

[@johanh9637]

tried softube bus processor or american classic?

[@vondano]

did you guy try the VSC-2 compressor?? If so, how does it compare??

[@StudioLife101]

We'll have a look...👍

[@agirotto1]

How do these compare to the Waves SSL one, Sean?

[@StudioLife101]

I think they both sound a lot better than the Waves Ssl comp.... Was OK in its day, but not really up there nowadays... 🤷‍♂️

[@agirotto1]

@@StudioLife101 Cool. Thx.

All BX stuff is re-sizeable. Top left of the GUI.

Stay away from Waves.

Townhouse is Good...but the Tim P L Bus Comp blows all over SSL Comps away...including UAD G Comp

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

Someone watched Paul Third

[@johnisrael5183]

@@HollerAtcherBoi Ill say this...the Tim P sounds good on Drum Bus.... But the Townhouse sounds better on masterbus to me.....at this point and these are mixes...mixed down with Nebula....with my live vocals and added then ran through my own analog gear.....but....on final mastering the Townhome has a punchier...rounded...snappier sound like my Warm Audio G Comp...ITB.....

[@malakiy8688]

in comparasion to other clones and other vca compressors i hate the ssl comppressor the most it has rarely ever sounded great on mix or anything else in comparsion to the townhouse or other compressors the selling point is the looks and the plugin controller and the companies reputation> other wise its not that good thats especially dissapoints seeing its straight from SSL
