Yeah, this i must try. Thx guys

[@thethings4708]

I asked for demo, but understand your point about it. Anyway, keep doing your good job , ALWAYS appreciate the video !! 🤞

[@sirwanmusic]

Thanks.for everything

[@frogbot]

As someone who has never really been able to get compressors to work that way I need them to, I found tweaking the peak and headroom knobs simultaneously worked great at taming the spikes in a very intuitive way. Only other compressor I've found I can work quickly with is the one in Izotope's Nectar, so I'd love to pick this up at some point.

[@assistantassistant5516]

Thanks!

[@StudioLife101]

Huge thanks 🙏

[@Harrysound]

Getting in early so I don't miss it! 3 more sleeps!

[@paulrucker1889]

This should not be called a Mastering Compressor. You'll wind up using it on EVERYTHING, and it isn't too bad on the cpu. Putting the timing on slower and then turning the Release Hysteresis way up... oh my god! The best at generating punch. Difficult to overdo because even though you can get very exaggerated results, they are still natural sounding. I know of nothing else that can accomplish things like this with such a high level of transparency. VERY special, I look forward to gaining more experience with it.

não entendo porque esse canal tem só 2 mil inscritos... bom demais!

[@DeRaNgEdOfficial]

Nice!!! I appreciate the right to the point information. Is it good or not so I know if its worth my money. I've been wanting to try this I believe it is an emulation of the GML 8900. Thank you for the information I can't wait to try it.

[@DeRaNgEdOfficial]

Now though I really want to buy it. I used to subscribe but went on the perpetual license route. However, they always have a good deal & sale going on. And they will put it on discount for 48 hours or a certain time limit. Another cool thing is monthly they will give me a 50 & 25 dollar voucher code I can use on the sale item. I've been wanting this and the sat 2 rate.

[@DeRaNgEdOfficial]

Would you review the oven by plugin alliance in the near future? I'd like to know your thoughts on if it is shit 😅😂 please & thank you.

[@deadlycontent503]

I really digg your is it shit or not cuz honestly anyone who uses plugins we all know we're addicted to plugins

[@johnisrael5183]

Yeah...this is main Comp on mastering now.....along with the Weiss DK3 those 2 blow all the others away on Masterbus........ the Amek...is going to sound Richer and More Saturated but the Softube Weiss MK3 is going to sound more Punchy and a ltttle more Commercial sounding...really tough Choice but I beleive this and the MK3 is the best your gona do ITB as far as Mastering..... Special Shout out to Klanghem DC8 though its only $25 on full open advanced mode...you have so many mastering optiions on that one as well

[@jessicad.555]

Damn....bought. It's on sale at Plugin Boutique right now.

[@tkelong3569]

It’s very good.

[@ErreGamer]

New name "This shit it's NOT SHIT AT ALL! 😂

[@DarceyLloyd]

It's Plugin Alliance, it will be on sale for $29 to $39 ish at some point...

[@Allious131]

it's free for me

[@sburton84]

$29.99 flash sale right now

[@j-genesiz]

It’s finally on sale. I’m about to buy it but wanted to do some research first

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

Yeah, bought it today for $29 😂

[@callehellstrom]

Have you replaced the Amek with the Bx_Glue in your mastering chain ;)?

[@StudioLife101]

No...different things...I use a real hardware vca comp if I need glue... The AMEK is all about adding weight 👍

[@callehellstrom]

Ah! Nice input 👍

[@-musiclee-]

Gentlemen. Says Mastering compressor. But would it be useful on individual tracks? Drums. Vocals Bass. Guitars. Etc ??

[@StudioLife101]

It would work...but overly complicated and maybe not enough character..?

[@CareyMedia]

You said it has lots of presets--where are they? I can’t find them at all.

[@StudioLife101]

Weird....in the preset bar at the top in Logic...🤷‍♂️

[@Mawga204]

I've found that certain DAWs don't display the 'presets' option for Plugin Alliance plugins.

[@StudioLife101]

@@Mawga204 interesting....sometimes they come in a separate file....

[@jessicad.555]

Who needs presets? 😁

[@IntheDAW]

I 100% wanted to hate this plugin when it came out. it was touted to use AI and everything I used it and bought it that same hour. lol

[@Richard-et8eu]

I doubt it can beat my shadow hills compressor but I will put it to the challenge. Thanks guys!

[@StudioLife101]

Different beasts I reckon….I’d try both together…small amounts of gain reduction.You should get both vibe/character and clean controlled mixes. 👍

[@Richard-et8eu]

@@StudioLife101 Great tip!

Lool I used to be in a band with a guy called Shaun Peters

It's the rant.....raging.....😂 👍

[@hleet]

Yeah but what about OZONE mastering plugin ? is it shit ? :D

[@realcasper81]

Definetly not shit

[@StudioLife101]

We should probably review it….👍

[@frogbot]

Definitely not shit. The Ozone EQ is one of my favorite EQs period due to having the most effective high/lowpass filters I've ever used.

[@DeRaNgEdOfficial]

Not shit

[@KozmykJ]

LOL I love how your saturation level rises as the Rants build up. I decided to wait for the $149 to come down a bit. It has .. plus (minus) a nice loyalty voucher ... Result !! I won't mention numbers ... too vulgar 😉 Let's just say .. Peanuts !! 🥳

[@StudioLife101]

Nice move...👍

[@KozmykJ]

@@StudioLife101 Defo a RTFM job, this one though. I'm just about to share your vid on FaceAche. Title : "So You Think You Know How to Fly A Compressor ??" 😜 Thankfully, the manual is pretty good AND then there's yer Michael White innit.

Plugin reviews and juvenile jokes. Perfect combination.

As of this post , Feb 5th 24...... until feb 10th $29 !!!!!

Its 29.99 right now ;)

[@niklassilen4313]

.. and right now you can get it for 29.99$

[@moleex5759]

I got it for £17.50

[@StudioLife101]

Nice 👍

[@johnisrael5183]

Update....this sort of makes a final master sound "Smeared" You want your mix to sound Glued, but open and breathing not "Smeard" So....I have to retract my Statement from earlier....I still think the best stand alone...mastering Comp is MK3 by Weiss Audio (Softube) 2nd Place for me would still go to KlanghelmDC8, Solid State Logic Stereo V6 Bus Comp, and UAD API2500 WITH NEBULA "LUNCHPAL RUNTHROUG PLUGIN" Those 4 are "Work Horses" Best Free Mastering Comps Analog Obsession Comper and Buster SE HANDS DOWN!

[@StudioLife101]

I've found the opposite...it's so easy to get it sounding tight and controlled with this. I wouldn't use it on the masterbus of a mix though...only in mastering is where it shines. The Weiss is good too...as are the others...but mostly bus comps. 👍

[@johnisrael5183]

@@StudioLife101 Mabye because Im using on a a Mix thats already been mixed down with Nebula/ and ran through my Analog Gear? Maybe...but...I just went back to using the Compresor on whichever Acustica Audio Strip I use on final master after mixing with Nebula and running the mix through my Gear Which is usually Sand3 (SSL) Amethyst 4 (AMEK 9098) Or PINK4 (API 2500 COMP/ API PRE AND API 550 EQS ) All three of these are Live analog sampled just like Nebula...so on final master your getting that "Hi End Polish" over the whole final mix
