NEW Waves Abbey Road RS124 Compressor ANY GOOD? | Hear It YOURSELF!

[@RaytownProductions]

What's your go to compressor for drums and bass?

[@gregfender]

I don’t have a single go-to for drums or bass, but I do like to keep the Waves CLA-2A on my kick bus for when I need to tighten things up. I don’t always engage it but sometimes it’s like an instant fix for a loose sounding kick.

[@RaytownProductions]

I love the 2a on my bass right after any amp sim or distortion to help it gel together. 🤘

[@dannywallin8250]

Wow, crazy how much of a difference this plugin makes when enabled compared to bypassed ! Especially in the whole mix and how much life it gives to each instrument, great explanation of it !

[@RaytownProductions]

I was very surprised as well. Now I understand why so many people loved this thing haha!

4 years late writing...Raytwown Productions. I watched your and Warren Huart's reviews - both excellent. In my experience unless this thing is on fast it's useless. B. Like Warren, the defaults very hard or impossible to improve on. It's great on bass, I just used it on a Fender 6 and it did a credible job. I haven't tried it on vocals so no opinion. I find it pretty iffy other instruments. I guessed I would only use it on bass and so far that's been the case. I like it for 39 bucks on mono electric bass it's great. Like I wrote Warren, I find it very difficult to believe at this price point it's a lot like the hardware in professional hands but what do I know. Good video!

Love how much room/verb stuff it brought up and cranked when you switched it on! Gives a nice lively kind of aura to the drums 👌

[@RaytownProductions]

Thanks so much! It really did make the drum pop and give the track another dimension!

[@ryan6840]

Awesome and detailed explanation! Thanks Bobby!

[@RaytownProductions]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@john_mclucas]

Was really cool to hear this come together, great work man!! Got that buttery vibe I dig

[@RaytownProductions]

It's that special sauce 😂

[@maxmazmaz]

Great video Bobby! This looks like a great product. I appreciate you showing what this thing is all about. I will have to get now.

[@RaytownProductions]

Happy to help! Cheers!

Waves running their usual sale right now

[@chrisanthony5501]

Unusual

[@peterheinen6110]

This vari-mu compressor is suitable for (small) masters, the only one i know that remains supermusical in the low end. Fairchild emulations can give a prettier sound, but not if you include drums and (sub) bass

[@gregfender]

Wow that release time is insane! I’m going to have to check this one out out. Thanks Bobby!

[@RaytownProductions]

Of course! Thanks so much for watching. Try it on vocals - silky smooth 😃

[@monkmusic5994]

On the drums, how does it compare to the Kramer pie compressor?

[@RaytownProductions]

Different animals, but similar movement!

[@JTFuller]

young man, that was incredible.. WOW, I need that thing..

[@RaytownProductions]

It's definitely different sounding. Super smooth. Thanks for watching man!

[@JTFuller]

​@@RaytownProductions Yes sir.. I like your demo more than Waves.. Great job dude..

[@RaytownProductions]

That means a lot to me. Thank you so much!

[@classicstar1]

That super slow attack is punch city on the bass

[@RaytownProductions]

For real man. It's pretty amazing how it controls the bass so well in the mix but doesn't sound compressed🤘

[@johnnydove]

the release time was so long i went to make a sandwich and by the time i got back it was still going haha that does sound pretty killer though!

[@RaytownProductions]

Could cook a 3 course meal before it returns in cutter mode 😂😂

[@johnnydove]

@@RaytownProductions i could raise a cow from birth to make the steaks for that 3 course meal before it returns in cutter mode lol

[@RaytownProductions]

@@johnnydove literally laughed out loud 🤣

[@rickhorvath]

It’s not compare with older Mac’s.
