I wish I had known about this a couple weeks ago. This is the sound I try to recreate with a LA2A into 1176 with ToneCentric in my vocal chain. There's a DeEsser and a couple EQs in between all that. But yeah. I want this. I really want this. Wow!

You know, I was well and happy sticking with my 2 go-to's with the Puigchild and CLA-2A. After hearing this, however, I'm definitely going to be adding a third to that lineup. Sounds like another absolutely fantastic knockout from Waves' line of Abbey Road plugins

Marvellous Tony! Thanks ever so much for sharing

[@Tatts2468]

Warren, thank you for this compressor recommendation. For many years I've been using multiple compressors to get marginally close to the result this one unit delivers.

[@pjhird1972]

I have the Chandler/EMI RS124 and it's amazing. Definitely going to buy this plugin version and use it in other spots in the mix. It will be interesting to A/B them. Each of them has something the other lacks. The plugin doesn't have the variable attack speed knob which is on the hardware and the hardware lacks the high pass filter. Two positive ways that a plugin differs from hardware are cost and more importantly, the option to employ automation. Personally, I do prefer the sound of hardware and go to it first and add plugins when the i/o runs out but I do love plugins as well and will always have plugin versions of my hardware if they are available. First, they make excellent laptop mix templates when I'm not in the studio and second, the GUIs make brilliant recall sheets (saved right there in the DAW channel strip) for my real hardware. Win, Win. This is well worth $200, so you can bet I'll be grabbing it today for $40! Nice video Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing Paul! Yes, at the price today it’s definitely worth grabbing!

[@mikeriley5654]

Just purchased this last week and love it. I liked this video. Very informative.

[@gbarge4]

Honestly, Warren, it's easily feasible and a fun exercise to use nothing but the Abbey Road series of plugins. I've played at that but just used the Puigchild for compression. Will now try with this. It's a specific pleasure, almost a guilty pleasure, to indulge this way. Spurs a lot of day dreaming. Cheers, -G

Competition breeds some pretty cool products

[@allancerf9038]

Warren - I'm glad I subscribed. I bought this plug-in and found that the default at least for me can't be improved on. I also noticed like you, unless it's on fast - I mean it doesn't really do anything (audible). This points to a fundamental I long-ago identified and have been crucified by younger musicains for saying. Any musician is entitled to buy anything they like. But it's a bit like an average driver buying a Formula-1 car. Without training, you're not ready for the Grand Prix of Monaco. The same with plug-ins. You're a pro with countless hours producing bands in real studio with expectations that a pro product would result. That's important experience and different from a solo artist working in a bedroom studio. Not that there's anything wrong with bedroom studios - I better add if I'm smart, LOL. I could have stared all day at the RS124 wondering why the default is best and why fast setting seems to be the only setting that works. I thought I was doing something wrong and rarely use the RS124 on anything but bass and it sounds like that's its primary use in your studio as well. This is where Waves and all these companies go wrong, imo. "Try it on anything" their marketing shouts. Far better to have made some phone calls to e.g. Abbey Road and asked, "er dudes, what was this used for on Beatles recordings?" Maybe the reply would be "only bass and occasionally guitars." That's real advice that is helpful saving countless hours for some guy that might try to get a delicate acoustic guitar sound out of it. Not to open a second 'front,' LOL but I also find it a stretch to believe the 39 buck software has the same quirks as the hardware in professional hands.

[@MoneyCrespin]

Once I saw this video this morning I bought the plug-in straight away lol, can’t wait to use/test it out soon!!

[@TadeuKelly]

Marvelous as usual. Mr. Huart is a truly master in his craft. But, as with probably any other plugin, we should not think this great smooth Beatles sound like is comming out of the plugin. It's comming from a perfect recording, totally focused on recreating the Beatles vibe with lots of bleed and ambiences. As well as the second pop sample, It's already there. Warren is just polishing the thing. But defnitely its a great compressor tool and for most of us who will never pilot a great console or vintage outboard gear, its nice to have those Abbey Road's vintage plugins and dream about Beatles and Pink Floyd while we try our stuff at home.

[@paulbadoo9326]

Funny story, yes. The British wanted an American sound. They send George Martin to check how they do it, he brings the Alters, and EMI actually builds a new compressor out of them, which went on to become a key element of the Beatles sound. Then everybody in the US tried to go for that fab British sound...

[@Producelikeapro]

It’s the perfect combination! As Mike Bloomfield said ‘The British Took American Music and sold it back to the Americans’!

@@Producelikeapro epiphanies! Thank you

[@Tazmanian_Ninja]

You need a true-peak limiter as the last step, after (!) the vinyl plugin. After, because the vinyl plugin’s inherent rumble will otherwise cause overs.

[@Tazmanian_Ninja]

And with those plugins (I use them myself) feed them a 0 VU signal (-18 db) for best sound. And rather feed them a bit too little, than too much. Very very important, for the two TG plugins.

Try it on drums in the super fuse mode but with the mix only blended in slightly. On the old RS124 plug-in by Abbey Road that they never made into 64-bit, it used work well as a parallel drum compressor in that way, but this waves one has a mix control anyway

[@alessandroverona1888]

I find a huge difference with the 124 on, it adds alot of presence and a very rich harmonic sum to the mid higs. Clearly it brings foward the voice track. I have never really got the puig.. it never sounded right to me.. this one seems to be doing much more of what you'd expect from this kind of plug in without too much twicking.

[@zorglub667]

yeah, it sounds like a compressor set to reduce by a whopping 20db while the puigchild only sounds like a compressor set to reduce by a not so whopping 8db. might it have something to do with the settings used? who knows!

The V12 has one interesting update, resizable windows that is. If you plan to install V11 and V12 together it can be a real pain.

@3:26: It looks like you've boosted the kick on the TG12345 by the full 10dB on both the Treble and the Bass (plus a little bit on the Presence) -- is that correct? If so, a future video could discuss this (and if it's in a prior video, a link would be great). As always (and to echo everyone else here), great work.
