Lindell Audio MU-66 Tube Compressor - Walkthrough | Plugin Alliance

In this Lindell Audio MU-66 tutorial, Charles Hoffman explains audio compression in three levels of difficulty. The MU-66 is a dual-band Vari-Mu compressor that recreates the buttery smooth tones of a popular compressor from the 1950s, famously known for being used on the vocals of Beatles’ records.

I really wish PA would give us some more useful tools on the MEGA bundle, like for aligning vocals, vocoders, repair phasing, I love the bundle but who needs another emulation of a Fairchild?!

Alternatives to vocalign, autoalign 2 and drum leveler would be amazing...

[@FromTheHipp]

agreed. i hate waves and refuse to use them but the thing about them is that they do have extra tools that arent just a ton of hardware emulations.

[@user-bo8ex4ji7n]

damn this comment is RIGHT on the money. Imagine a replacement to that SynchroArts garbage. Vocalign and Revoice have gone to shit - stay far away from that company - their support doesn't even respond to emails after I've spent over $800 with them. PLUGIN ALLIANCE LISTEN TO THIS COMMENT!!^^^^^ These companies NEED some solid competitors that we can rely on.

[@andre77475]

penso o mesmo Diegão, eu tenho varias emulações aqui de fairchild e realmente não vejo algo inovador em mais um plugin de simulação de algo que já existe aos montes

[@LeKing56]

Couldn't agree more! We have enough hardware emulations at the moment, the market is over saturated.

[@theshogunbeats3424]

They probably released over 10 compressors from the time they promised us they’d update the mega sampler. It’s been 2 years! Can we get new things instead of the same thing over and over again?

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

I love using my Lindell Audio TE-100 EQ. Even if you don't make any adjustments, just running audio thru it makes the signal seem warmer. This compressor looks great!

[@assistantassistant5516]

This thing is really great just tried it. Thank you.

[@mattbigelow4355]

I already have more than a dozen compressor plugins. Why should I use this one?

[@Rhuggins]

While I do understand some of the criticisms in the below comments (about having a vocal align alternative…this is good feedback PA; at the moment there are a metric TON of unhappy Vocalign users. Do with that what you will) - I always welcome a new faitchild emu. There arent a TON of them out there, and if it pushes the envelope forward in terms of modeling technology or sound, I’m all for it. What im not all for, is the same generic algos being recycled over and over again with more time and money spent on the GUI than the sound. Consumers are savvy nowadays, so the days numbered where companies can keep doing that. Will give this a whirl and see if it holds up better than some other emulations I have

[@Rhuggins]

Lindell is a great company so I expect this to be really good

[@user-bo8ex4ji7n]

Wow I am so glad to hear that others are aware of just how unhappy people have become with SynchroArts and vocalign. As a user of their software for nearly a decade I now hate that company and do my best to voice it everywhere I go. They haven't replied to the last 20 of my support emails after I paid to upgrade to Revoice Pro 5 and it doesn't work at all with Ableton and actually moves certain sections of the vocal OUT OF TIME! Holy shit that software sucks and so does the company. PLUGIN ALLIANCE WE NEED AN ALTERNATIVE - CAPITALIZE ON THSI!

[@user-bo8ex4ji7n]

damn he mentions altering the "zero" knob to play with the circuit bias and then just glazes over that like the effect is self explanatory and needs no audio demo... It's the one feature I and many others are not familiar with. Usually these tutorials are very thorough and I am very supportive of them, but it's almost like THEY don't even know what the zero knob does so they just mentioned it and moved on...

[@kags79]

i will try this one right now \m/

[@MatthiasLindemann-hp2zr]

The "Lindell Audio MU-66" is now my secret weapon, I have replaced all my compressors with this one. It's nice and warm and gives the tracks the punch they deserve, even on the master bus. I produce drum & bass, now everything sounds nice and hard, rich and punchy. I recommend everyone to try this plugin. Everything sounds completely different with this plugin, it's a small quantum leap.

[@jameswilkerson8873]

"secret weapon..." 😆😅😂😆😅🤣😂😆😅😂

[@MatthiasLindemann-hp2zr]

@@jameswilkerson8873 😂I may have overdone it a bit, but let's just say it has found its place in my chain.

[@marsrivers]

Lindell on everything!!! Please a REDD channelstrip

[@alexandroschrysidis379]

Would love stepped knobs much like in the Lindell 50

[@snowandcoal]

Did you use open AI for the script?

[@bangubw736]

So this is kinda like a Multi band Fairchild? I like the MS functions and THD.

[@marsrivers]

Is it a fairchild by lindeel audio?

[@ellmusic769]

Yes

[@user-yq7rr9lh9c]

Just get UnderToneAudio UnFairchild 670M II if want real Fairchild replica, you won't find it in plugin/software realm.

[@marsrivers]

@@user-yq7rr9lh9c thanks, but i like this ones

[@tana7779]

I just purchased it.When inserted, the sound stops working. Is it a bug?

[@zenluiz]

You need to authorize it

[@tana7779]

@@zenluiz Of course we do. Because I'm buying it legitimately...

[@jiachengli2446]

yes！

[@puresoundstudios]

I am hoping this brings Lindell quality to the Fairchild plugin set (some mediocrity out there). 16x oversampling is great to see.

[@chevywilliams2717]

i hear the difference on the vocals but not on the other examples of audio

[@juankalmao]

so..could I say ,this a Dual Band(highs & Lows) Compression Unit..?

[@PluginAllianceTV]

Yes, that would be accurate. You can compress the lows and highs separately.

[@PCSRKS]

My guess is: This is an emulation of the 'Mercury M66'.

[@NickWaves]

Another Fairchild emulation? pfff....

[@mayzter8765]

Exactly..how much money do they want to squeeze from the noobs..frustrating...stop this madness!!!

[@danielmcdill]

Something new and different would be nice.

[@mayzter8765]

I would purchase this if you do a one-to-one comparison with a Fairchild or any hardware clone..otherwise, it's just a plugin like the UAD one. Acustica Audio has the best emulation, but with a lot of bloat. Start using AI like Third-Body Tech. They are not there, but promising:) Because all these hardware emulations sound the same. Stop the marketing madness and let's change the game!

[@Fwuzeem]

I dislike the screws, they remind me of the TE-100, not so great.

[@CEmm-oi9st]

the whole GUI and GUI-elements are borrowed from the TE-100, it should be called the MU-100. 😂

[@ThisGuyDude]

Yawn. Does the world really need this

[@mayzter8765]

Nope...money grab!

[@johnisrael5183]

EQ curve compressor....no thanks.....a bad knock off of Acuatica Audio's Midnight...why dont you guys try to make a better SSL G comp...not a Town Home but the Regular One....that would be a Bigger Deal to People Focus on Having the Best G Comp LA2A and 1176 why not try to be the best at the Basics Because as far as analog sound you guys will not beat Acustica Audio, Purified Audio and Kiive Audio...so give that up Just focus on making better "Basic Plugins more true to the Hardware

[@user-bo8ex4ji7n]

Damn you listed my secret companies: Purafied and Kiive are becoming the new gold standard. Don't tell everyone! :)

[@e.apollis2877]

in the plugin world this will not sound x20 better than any LA2A plugin!

[@thalentekhumalo4734]

True but this is an MU compressor

[@kawinshivasoman]

Fairchild 660 wow.....
