Shadow Hills Industries Mastering Compressor Demo - Sweetwater Sound

[@vadimmartynyuk]

For some reason these old videos are so much better than new ones

[@danield2000]

David Lynch of the pro audio world.

[@thesimulacre]

Peters aesthetics extend all the way through his product line into himself. Like the entire company came from early hollywood... AWESOME.

[@juliusbradley7401]

Damn! smooth clear and pumping compression! I never heard it break up and it was really loud. So much air around the drums , so much control over the signal. And depth, ,,, classic!

[@stefanmonell1844]

I'm more intrigued by the owner of the product than the compressor itself... I would literally buy anything from this man, whatever he is selling must be the quintessential thing in that specific category.

[@BeatBlenderBE]

He's too much of a salesman for me :)

[@bognodes]

I could watch this guy sell anything, toasters, insect repellant, anything. His whole funeral director persona is so calculated and well cultivated but if you listen closely his accent slips in one place.

[@fxsurgeon1]

Lol he does look creepy haha. Great piece of kit tho

[@Terry-nx8kg]

This guy's presentation and demeanor are spot on for demonstrating such an esoteric piece of equipment. The burgundy cravat is a brilliant touch.

[@robynrobins239]

The best buy all year. Sounds great on everything we use it for. Chers, Peter and Vintage King. Robyn Robins Productions

[@castlehill6717]

This dude is next level

[@djshire1984]

This man is going to burn the world down then rule over hordes of undead.

11 years after, still funny.

[@Terry-nx8kg]

Very funny indeed.

[@mitekillem]

Well, that was an awesome overview. It definitely made things more clear.....and for some strange reason I suddenly want to marathon watch the Twighlight Zone.

[@rtcwetOINK]

Got the opportunity to hear the Mono Gama yesterday at thomann, Germany. I'm still on a high! Wasn't prepared AT ALL as I stopped reading reviews, I knew nothing about that evil little box. E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T peace of equipment. Piece of art. I was thrilled after seconds and when it comes to gear I'm not thrilled that easily anymore... Will buy. New top priority on the list. Thanks for making this happen! Compared to THAT sound 1k bucks feels like *I* am ripping *you* off. You ROCK!! Thanks -Bob

[@nogoogleplus]

Awesome unit! Looks almost as cool as a Fairchild. And Peter the founder, should be cast as the next Terminator if there is another sequel.

[@djcj]

Best 80s ad ever

[@csilt]

I've talked to him, he's actually a cool guy.

[@krass76]

In this video Mr. Reardon looks like what I'd immagine a seasoned TI engineer to look like (yes, Texas Instruments).Achieved such incredible feats, built devices so clever/good you start to question whether he is human but he's just used to not receiving credit.

[@footnotedrummer]

"hello... my name is Basil St. Uppety... and I'd like to sell you this $8000 compressor". LOL

[@spotlight_is]

Are you sure this thing isn't a time machine? This man looks like he's arrived from the past...I can't tell how far back...

[@ZephyrRandD]

That man if vary serious about compressors.

[@EmDubification]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@InVisionsynthmindscape]

Awesome mastering tool, fantastic looks!

[@doortower3622]

First off- I like the guy and it would be a shame if he ever thought about putting on a facade to appeal to anyone's ideas of who he should or shouldn't be. Second, I'm relieved to see SOME kind of demo. Most Sweetwater product vids just talk about the gear but you never get to hear it in action and all the reviews are just like- Expensive gear- "This is a must-have. I put in on everything. Thanks you, Brad, for being a wonderful sales rep. I'm planning on getting another one for stereo. derp." Inexpensive- "This is a great tool for any home of project studio. I use it in a live setting with my church band. d-derrrp."

[@IQALAaudio]

sounds similar to the the FMR RNC character

[@jarrodottinger3]

I love my RNC!

[@ikigai47]

I would not want to cross that man.

[@Tazmanian_Ninja]

Yes. His intelligence would surpass, and intimidate, that of most people.

[@autumnicleaf]

@@Tazmanian_Ninja - What do we do? - What do we do? Is he going to compress us all?

[@matadiosesimpressum2991]

He will hunt you not for fun, just for cruelty.

[@NPC_averagemale003]

Peter Reardon by day, Shadow Master by night.

[@koreanfriedchildren]

This guy should be the new Pall Bearer for the Undertaker

[@jordanthurt]

Peter Reardon should have been in Fallout: New Vegas

[@drampadreg1386]

I have always loved this machine e, it is identical to the one in the 60's in the vinyl cutting lathe room at Abbey Road studios. That was a long time ago. Not cheap, but gorgeous and the effect is obvious, I'd trade my left nut for it , really...I would. But I don't know what they would do with it. I love the cat eye part of it too, it reminds me of an old tube radio I rebuilt as a kid from the 30's, never touch the speaker wires on those when it's on, they used electromagnets in the speaker! I could taste ozone for an hour.

[@IntheDAW]

that guy is cool. i want to check them out just because of him the compressor does sound nice though

[@noizkelley317]

This dude gives me some serious vampire vibes..

[@gilbertfrausto]

its that velvet tie

[@ADFCHRONICLES]

yep..my question is..where the heck can I get 8000 euros?

[@thesafetruth12]

Kokain hh

[@claytonlevibrown]

that device is a monster lurking deep in hills of los angeles. who taught that guy how to tie a tie.

[@dlawlis]

I think it's more of a cravat than a tie.

[@thebarf9235]

@@dlawlis Right. That guy would never wear a tie. People who live in 18th century manors don't wear ties.

[@Terry-nx8kg]

​@@dlawlisDefinitely a cravat.

[@bakerbakerbaker305]

what y’all think how does it sound? I don’t know if I like it

[@mr.zeitmaschine6878]

What’s crazy is every comment is about the presenter and not the product. I’ve laughed so much reading them because he caught my attention too and I said there is stuff to read on this one. I was right. I so know this man’s character type. I’ll buy his product because he either does it well or don’t do it at all. He should have called the company “emperor industries”

[@GlitchComputer]

Shadow hills is so intense

[@KayMuller]

The new Fairchild with no power supply issues yes? Not knowing that would be my guess.

[@gixxerboy555]

Why would we need this?What does it actually do to the song?

[@dirkchurlish4074]

I think the discrete VCA section has a delightful attack flavor, don't you?

[@echelon7thedarkness]

Wow!!! 1st, Rod Serling made the Twilight Zone…now he’s selling Mastering Compressors…Woooh, sign me up Baby yeah!!

[@KevinStCroix]

Not sure I have ever heard a hardware compressor at 20:1 and do exactly what it’s suppose to. Wow!

[@andrewman12]

He looks like he just killed some Vampires, and he's coming for us next. Peter Reardon, like Bruce Wayne, lives in Gotham City.

[@dellmotu]

LOL !

[@GorillaSalsa]

This thing is...*sigh*...glorious.

[@thebarf9235]

But enough about Peter Reardon.

[@Degreeees]

I'm sure he's related to the Adams family... #shadowhillstheundead

[@experiment0003]

what can I do to get one of these? Anything!!!

[@coffeehigh420]

nope, nothing i'm afraid

[@revelationsoundstudio]

This is a mastering compressor but he does not show an example for mastering but for drums. Why?

[@Max16032]

Drum sequences are ideal to test responsiveness and dynamics in compressors.

[@DalmaTon-Records]

If you have any questions, please contact your sweetwater sales engineer.. And now you will be terminated.. BOOM! ;-)

[@martyfrank3548]

The face of the SHCompressor looks like a freeking spider

[@tanner-rh6oo]

Who can afford it?

[@anyvideo8876]

Just save money and wait until you reach 8000

[@ReubenGingrich]

@@anyvideo8876 😂

[@uranidiot99]

So the devil is real.

[@chicnwafflesband]

He reminds me of one of those guys that lives in the country in remote areas and locks up people in the basement to never be seen again. No offence Mr. Reardon but your PR people need to advise you to smile every now and then it's good for the image and people watching your product demos.

[@Max16032]

This is aimed at professionals with huge budgets, not your average bedroom producer. This is a serious buying decision and any attempt to overhype the product would result in a lack of trust.

[@Simeon_Harris]

i take it Shadow Hills is somewhere in the Twilight Zone....?

[@lengotin]

will it convert me into dracula too? haha jk

[@TheLabWeMakeRecords]

do you accept trades? I've got a wife i don't want.
