This COMPRESSOR is AMAZING | Empirical Labs Arousor Demo & Walkthrough

[@sabrabosewicht2034]

This is the one plugin I use the most by far. I was using the UA Distressor but this is much better because of the attack modification. Chris, you are THE MAN!!!

[@mixdownonline]

Awesome,Thanks!

[@teeaymusik9811]

Even more amazing that there is a free remake of this compressor!

[@arduoushoaxley]

Great job on the video presentation. My only criticism is that your snare example is working from an already highly processed mix of snare samples. In my opinion, for the sake of a demonstration, I would MUCH rather hear you working from a raw recording with the good/bad/ugly that comes along with leakage, phase etc.

Really looking forward to your thoughts for this one Chris!

[@oledahl.]

Dom Sigalas did you make a video on this one too, Dom? If you haven't, what's your thoughts on it? I have two distressors in my rack, so even if I own the plug I haven't used it much. But I love the units, especially on my drums. (Tech house/progressive...). Kindest reg, Ole from Oslo. 🤝👍

[@mixdownonline]

I also had 2 Distressors a while back that a friend lent me. I used them when recording mainly. He sold them afterward an I still regret not buying them from him :-(

I just picked it up. Can’t wait for the stream.

so cool. thank you so much for doing this! Cubase 10 here.

[@paulsaunders193]

Hi Chris, great video as usual. I've got a question for you: I have some old Cubase projects when I first starting recording audio, and I made the mistake of putting them in the same folder, so of course, all the audio files are mixed up. Is there an easy way to separate the audio files belonging to each project into different folders? This still happens sometimes when I'm writing music and I record some new ideas, but later decide they don't fit so I want to remove them and use them in a different project instead. Same problem: is there an easy way to separate them?

[@mixdownonline]

Under File, select Backup Project and save that project to its own Folder. I talk about this in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p37Zc4h-rc2bo9E but I will add this also on my next Cubase Q&A

May i get this as a gratuity? I really like it but don't have any money.

[@tomford8286]

Not bad. But beat one is completely missing. Was that intentional?

[@boogie2266]

It would be nice to see a comparison to the disto by Sknoteaudio which seems to be good but a lot cheaper.

[@mixdownonline]

I did not try this one yet

[@rt-uh6mt]

Dude, just buy the Arouser and you'll never need to buy another compressor plugin again. Pick it up when there's a sale.

[@Dangenoir]

Agreed indeed 👍

[@tonytemple8195]

Much flatter than the original, basically no back, with slight harshness.

[@TheChrispablo]

man that sounded great on snare

[@mixdownonline]

It does for sure!

[@flamersss]

what kind of compressor is it? a 1176 type compressor? FET?

[@mixdownonline]

It's a jack of all trades, it can act as a FET or a VCA compressor if you want to, it all depends on the settings you set it up with. Designed by the same people who makes the Distressor

[@flamersss]

I do not have iLok dongle - that is a problem. Jan

[@mixdownonline]

Yes, that can be a problem if you don't have one :-(

[@najinelson6742]

"A prominent recording engineer recently wagered that there probably was not a top 40 record made in the last five years that didn’t have at least one Distressor on it." That's exactly the main reason I would never buy it. Can't remember a time music was worst than in the last 5 years.

[@mixdownonline]

LOL!

[@eshalon13]

The fact you think a compressor is the main reason why music sucks in the last 5 years is laughable 😂🤣

@@eshalon13 Distressor + Autotune + Ozone + Gullfoss + Soothe + no creativity = crap. Anyway: "Compressors are for kids" (Bruce Swedien). And yes, I ve been demoing it and immediately felt or was reminded of the sound of today. A comp also affects the sound, in some cases from natural to artificial.

[@erickarge1838]

Historically the only people in music I’ve heard say things like that are the ones incapable of making hit level music which is incredibly difficult and takes years and years of work to learn. I’d love to hear YOUR music that is so much better than those top 40 records that to you are so terrible. Ahem…

[@Unders]

You aint wrong with that title. it does cost a pretty penny that one though.

[@mixdownonline]

Yes, not a cheap plugin, but still cheaper than the UAD Distressor ;-)

[@Unders]

@@mixdownonline must admit when I buy UAD I usually wait for the 4 for £299 deal to come around a stock up on what ive been eyeing up :D hence have no idea what hey price up at now days lol

@@mixdownonline This plugin is for sure worth the price. Having a real Distressor and the UAD plugin I still use this one exclusively.
