Saw him live in Ukraine in 2018 or 2019, he was terrible. Here he's good.

[@thesilverjohn]

Well live performance is one thing and studio performance is another thing

[@RitualFlip]

He’s gettin on a bit aswell, been doing it 30 years or so

[@danny_HP]

He says he has a fast attack and long release on the 1176 but isn't it actually the opposite?

[@RitualFlip]

Fast to the right on the 1176, however ya boy is measured in microseconds, so it’s always fast

[@NathanHarrisStudio]

That's how those particular units work.

[@martinmorales3195]

Yes, you're right. He's using the fastest release possible on that plugin.

[@martinmorales3195]

​@@NathanHarrisStudiofully clockwise is the fastest, not the slowest.

The Waves Vocal Rider seems particularly detrimental to Dani's vocals.

Why

[@usernameihavechosen289]

@@MysticalPotatoHeadGrooveThing Flattens the dynamics in a certain disempowering and disembellishing way. I've been noticing this effect here and there on the later records, and now the culprit has been exposed.
