In this quick How To Use video Protoculture takes us through the controls of the awesome Brainworx emulation of the legendary Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor.
A go-to compressor for dynamic control and taming even the most unruly and chaotic transients with flawless tone and control you can dial in compression either through the Optical or the Discrete sections or both, add colour using the three different transformers and Brainworx have kindly added the option of a parallel mix control, a sidechain filter and an external sidechain.
Here we check out the functions, how they sound and finish off with a practical example.

Excellent comprehensive tutorial. Thank you!

@hitsounds 18 дней назад

recently added this to my mix buss and love what it does. Having said that this tutorial gave me a lot of insight on how to set it up once I'm using it more actively in mastering. Great info. thanks.

@TAYAMusic-vo6td Год назад

Thanks mate! Really appreciate the clear insight on all of your Sonic Academy tuts. When I was just a young Doof pup back in Aus, id drop your jam Circadians in pretty much every set! Although I'm not a psy producer anymore, your sound is still a huge inspiration & influence on my current productions. 🙏

I've played with the plugin on Revolver and the sound was stunning, quickly took it into another decade. (Beatles Revolver) It was so dramatic, I have yet to place on individual tracks in my mixes. Good demo, thank you

@midichain 2 года назад

Thanks for the run down on the controls. Been using Waves SSL G Comp on Master Channel, but after watching this feel a bit more confident using it for Master Comp.

Great tutorial! I've been looking for something concise yet complete to help me get started with this one, so this was just right. Thanks so much!

@stelthtenau 4 года назад

Ratio was cranked on the right

@marcokallenborn3331 2 года назад

Woah, best tutorial for that plugin so far; thank you so much!

@DeadliestEvil 2 года назад

PROTOCULTURE TUT!! GO GO GO

@musicfit9123 3 года назад

Thanx I enjoyed it 👍

@WassupFred Год назад

Awesome bro

@JohnJohnCrusher Год назад

It doesn't use an optical detection phase. It models after an a compressor that does that. It doesn't feed into transformers either. It's a computer algorithm. I'm sure you know that but too many people talk about this stuff as if it were a real physical object and it's just not true. Probably because they put the little picture image of the original. Cute. Real cute.

@mixedbyangelo9093 2 года назад

Could you do a video of how you make these videos? I'd love to do my own ones about mixing. Great tutorial btw, super well explained. I always felt intimidated by this compressor, now I'm not. Thanks a lot

@emphatic001 4 года назад

Always been curious about the Shadow Hill Mastering Compressor. I believe Eric Prydz has the hardware one.

@leakso1 3 года назад

Just bought this today, I've also subscribed to sonic academy for a year, I'm currently building my new studio space so I hope to use all the courses to help me improve and enjoy my music tinkering more when I finish my studio space. Although, I must say, Phil, your going to have to compile your "secret stash" of 90's 00's progressive house sounds for Anna 2 that you are hiding that you told me about. How many likes will it require to get u shifted to release it dude?? I'm going to start it of. #philssecretstashneedsreleased

@DapperHesher 4 года назад

Dude, you gotta pick the usual terrible female singer-songwriter worship radio rock track to demo this this stuff, and not a killer psy track. I'm keep getting frustrated when you pause it, haha!

@davidelstonmusic 4 года назад

HAHAHAHAHa...totally 100% this lol

@shahriaralavi4904 2 года назад

When we use dual mono the compressor will react to the left and right channel separately? if yes, does it mean it may compress the signal more natural? because of giving each channel its own proper gain reduction instead of applying a reduction for both? ( even with same settings set for left and right)

@towned 3 года назад

The compressor is so good he didn't even notice his ratios were super off in his dual mono lol

@Eldorado1239 Год назад

I felt dizzy from how lopsided that sounded - and he says "Something's not right... the VU meter shouldn't move so much on this side", that was funny. I mean, I hope he just said it in a funny way but actually did hear it.

@jami.m7074 Год назад

Yes haha. I just bought the class A version. Thankfully it has a link option

@LancieGreen 4 года назад

When you go into dual mono mode you set the attack and radio settings the opposite of the left side, and when noticing the attack is wrong you are not noticing that the ratio is is wrong also, cause its set to 6:1 on the right side while is 2:1 on the left side. Where you aiming for different compression on each side?

@izvarzone 3 года назад

i never understand why there's no link control, they fixed it in Class A version though.

@smills5364 2 года назад

He just hadn't noticed.

@cachelesssociety5187 Год назад

12:00 You're absolutely right, cuz he's also a visual artist and prefers symmetry. Its okay, - this plugin was more confusing to me than it should have been. His tutorial is still the best on this cuz he covers the manual, which I'm too lazy to read (for now).

@robin1084 6 месяцев назад

I was looking for this coment. I'm surprised no one else noticed.

@tkelong3569 11 месяцев назад

LOve this compressor. Actually like the Class A version slightly better but a really nice sounding cmprsr. It replaced the Capitol Mastering Compressor on a piece I was working on yesterday. The Capitol MC sounds really nice but the Shadow Hills is just a better fit this time around.

@atschfab 2 года назад

Great video. Using Shadow hills now too. Nate, what is the track you are working on the vid?

@We_Run_Up_Hills 2 года назад

just found it with shazam! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nm0gtVszGGA.html

@We_Run_Up_Hills 2 года назад

super glad i found it!

@We_Run_Up_Hills 2 года назад

DUUUDE WHAT IS THAT TRACK? 10/10 would bump! (i play psytrance at shows sometimes!

@theandroids Год назад

They need to make this resizable.

@user-im9yx1nw1s 2 года назад

Yo! So ive put this for the first time on. my master, and all the hard panned stuff... well its all mono now. im a little over my head w this stuff but im working it out, but why has this compressor monoed all my stuff? Im on stereo mode on the plug in

@f0kxi 2 года назад

Closed my eyes during the nickel Iron Steel part, I only heard one song 😂

@gt3shredz510 4 года назад

Thank god i got this compressor the Waves Renaissance compressor sucks

@izvarzone 3 года назад

they do have different roles

@chefcurry8983 3 года назад

Please don't tell me you were throwing the waves Renaissance compressor on your master bus

@dannydaniel1234 2 года назад

Man, I wished that I could afford the real shadow hills . If the plugin and the hardware sounded identical, then the hardware manufacturer would not allow plugin manufacturers to sell the plugin version.

@Eldorado1239 Год назад

Why not. You can never talk people out of their "I just hear it" religion. It's case by case, sure there are bad plugin versions, but in all practical sense, most of the time the only difference is the $2000 difference in price. Those smaller quantities of HW will always find someone willing to pay for that 0% to 1% improvement. Given the ease of selling them, plugins probably make them more money anyway, after deduction of R&D, workshop and warehouse running costs, everything around supply chain, failed units under guarantee and other things.

@BeatsByEndless 2 года назад

Left the right channel with 6:1 ratio and the left with 2:1. I guess he didn't notice that hehe

@tanktoptelly7622 Год назад

Very good, but your right side ratio was way higher than the left, just an easy mistake. Haha

@vektacular 5 дней назад

This is a weird compressor….not a bad one me but not a great one….i e had it for years now and the easy thing about it is you know when it’s correct but I feel like correct sometimes doesn’t cut it on this compressor

@maxmaxington5873 2 года назад

It sounds like shit. The optical compressor should just be kissing the GR, otherwise it sounds all over the place. 2 db is much too much for music that fast and dense. It sounded better without the plugin. I don’t think you really know how to use it. The VCA should shape the sound (and can allow for more GR without totally ruining the general dynamic), the optical is usually for a very gentle compression on the way in to smooth out the signal before it hits the VCA. The needle should barely be moving.

@levondarratt787 2 года назад

shoulda, coulda, musthava,....I have the hardware unit. There are no rules... Especially if you have a mix knob built in for convenience...dang!...

@leedarkin-miller7685 3 года назад

SSSo much SSSibilance on the SSound in this "SSSonic Academy" video....can't watch!

@woozzoom 4 года назад

sry to say,,i think he dunnoe wat he is talking...diz may not a good tutorial to watch..

@joellouisfire 4 года назад

Honestly the visuals are a little confusing to look at so it's easy to miss something especially when doing a quick demonstration. He was just showing us how to use it and how it works, it probably does not reflect how he personally uses this compressor on his projects.
