That is a real beast! The only question now is: black or red? 🤔

[@RayoBeatz]

obviously black

[@Zenvo-uu9tm]

If it s sounding good on this audio example ... hats down to this piece of electronics

[@neal_laugman]

Jim: You dog ... all that SPL gear - I'm so jealous! Great run-through of the Iron. It's a real beast. I have the Brainworxs plugin that I'm working my way through. Very versatile comp - from silky smooth to totally kickin' - I love it. @ Tristana Wild: Is their any other kind of rock??

[@tristanawild380]

It is mandated that any audio gear over $2000 be demonstrated with dad rock

[@JohnGauge790]

Tristana Wild Grandpa Rock?

[@quadrod]

Who else but dads can afford these things?

[@SalParadise]

good review

[@wackenthaljef]

Yes,good and serious review...it changes;..

[@SaturnVoyager11]

Still curious why you changed the threshold if your gain match was perfect (in & out). Really cool video but a big wow factor was present all time, unmatched output.

[@MONOPHONIST]

No level adjustment. The compressor makes the signal much louder

[@jjwhittle8873]

He has +2db on the inputs and outputs

[@symphonybeatz1834]

That’s one of the points of mastering. To make it louder

[@TheShpmusic]

Very powerful, I 💗❤❤💝💖it.

[@dannymelgarejo8805]

Demo would be better if you did proper level matching IMHO. Louder always sounds better

[@purewaveaudio]

I agree, but I did not want to digitally alter anything. You can still hear the character as is.

[@transparentmastering]

I know what you mean, but notice the Input and Output are in 2 dB steps, so what's a poor engineer to do?

[@mohammedabduljabbar-kg4wp]

what is the difference between 1520 and 1524?

[@purewaveaudio]

1524 is Red, 1520 is black.

[@nandoblondemobydick5438]

the mix is a bit flat (drums) to my ears so the compressor enhance but not the best mix to test it IMHO

[@mafiamusic5446]

THAT MUSIC BURNED MY EARS.

[@louderthangod]

MAFIA MUSIC Life must be hard for you being that fragile.

[@Ace96x10]

Whats the cost of this monstrosity? 100 mill or so?

Get it off of Thomann for 4400$

[@louderthangod]

Ace96 So you know how to watch and comment on KZbin videos but not how to search for prices on google?
