I briefly demoed one of these units, and to tell the truth I didn't really think much of it. But I like what's going on in this demo. I didn't realize how extreme the unit can get. It seems pretty nice after all.

@Doctormix 7 лет назад

Hi tekis0! I am glad you have come around! ;-) We love this unit!

@planetclay 9 месяцев назад

i like the fact that you're actually enjoying yourself running thoroughly through the range of possibilities....outstanding demo.

@_Thorsten 6 лет назад

Those knobs are incredible and its very warm sounding even if its hard compressed.

@PierreJamerson 9 лет назад

You have the best outboard videos on youtube! keep it up

@johnnyh64 9 лет назад

I love your style for demonstrating a piece of gear. I wish more people would take your cue and stop with the super sublime one notch adjustments as if they have super sensitive ears and we don't. You actually go from crazy levels to tasteful and you always seem to try to keep the output level. Great demo but I don't have near the cash levels to be able to purchase the unit.

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Thanks so much man! I'm glad you notice that. We always put a lot of thought about that :-) Happy New Year!

@DaveBassDotCom 7 лет назад

Wow is right. At some point it sounded like a Spectrasonics I've worked on before, too.

@lushkordz6643 6 лет назад

This one is insane o_O This demo just proove the fact that when you have such high quality analog components you dont need anymore a bunch of digital FX or plugins (but still can use some) coz it just sounds so DopE organic

@walkerproductions9260 8 лет назад

I got to play around with one of these not too long ago and was extremely impressed. Might have to add one to the rack soon.

@i.AmHymn 9 лет назад

LOVED it best on master bus @ around 11:34...was pumping in all the right places to make the mix move, breathe and come alive! Also sounded pretty awesome on certain of your earlier bass fiddlings...again, movement in a controlled bass makes it come alive, at least to my ears. #GoodStuff! Hymn

After watching this I'll get this for my UA plugin voucher. Thanks!

@puresonic7568 8 лет назад

This unit is a good example that you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter, meaning that it makes everything sounds wonderful =)

@DamienzTheBand 9 лет назад

Loved the sound. Very transparent and confident boosting of all instruments. Especially bass of course, but also the full mix, hence the mastering application. I see why they use it for mixes, the comp is really "riding" the sound, as opposed to squashing it and making it mute, like many compressors tend to do...

@soundpurestudio 10 лет назад

the first vid I see that really shows how this comp sounds. less bla bla bla and more "in action" parade. great!

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate that, we do try to cut to the chase as soon as possible... I can't stand long intros when I'm on youtube!!!

@PetrFink Год назад

To be honest, I was ready on the volume knob to compensate the ongoing volume changes, because there were like 30% volume jumps on bypass/in, which changed the perception of the sound a lot. But anyway not that huge difference there - I mean between (my)shadow plugin, vs the real stuff. And if, there is like only 10-20% missing against the HW Shadow, which shocked me. I thought, there will be much much bigger difference, but it is not! Just woow. And if you are precise with your ear and monitoring, you really can be close to the HW sound of it, plus you can color it some more with some saturation in your DAW. Thank you for that video, that showed me a lot, but please, next time, compensate levels (by ear). This helps a lot. Thx for that fantastic HW review!!

@manos6426 5 лет назад

@mozartproduction 10 лет назад

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

@DennisBastian 9 лет назад

Man that thing sounds awesome on bass and guitar! They should make a pedal version so I can stick it on my pedal board hahaha

@landstrom27 9 лет назад

Is that a lime slurpee dispenser under the bypass? If so, I'll probably have to buy one of these.

@papahuge 5 лет назад

Unreal sound. So potent. If only it had M/S control. But I'm sure there's a way to hack this with a couple extra modules.

@stumsi Год назад

Great demonstration of compresor's full potential. I'm using Plugin Alliance software version but compares to hardware unit it looks to me there's a huge difference... Hardware unit sounds much more agressive and snapy to me, but my ears are already old and tired, so... It would be interesting to see comparison (hardware and software) of both compressor simultaneously and see the differences!

@WHITERATPRIME1234567 7 лет назад

I was truly amazing at how fast you can make the attack on this compressor. Truly an amazing beast! I can imagine all sorts of things being pushed through this compressor for some really wild and amazing results!

@onurhankeskin 10 лет назад

Your Best.

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Thanks so much!!

@stephenrobinson60 6 лет назад

I really like this review. When you go to forums like Gearslutz you see some disparaging comments about this unit. The opto is too slow, or they hardly use the VCA section.. or they only use it on bass or drums...I guess it depends on attitude and what you feed into it. Comparing this to your review of the Zener limiter for instance.. which is a brilliant unit.. and on electric guitars ..omg wow,,,, but as luxurious and full as the Zener is on your final mix, the Shadow Hills seems to give things a little bit more oxygen in there.. a bit more spatial definition.. an rich organic sound scape. Luv it.

@creativestudio2399 3 года назад

Bomba👍

@markphilpot4981 5 лет назад

This is a very clean compressor. So clean in fact that I heard what I would call an overzealous reverb on the guitar portion. I know, it isn’t my recording, but this effect was clearly to my hearing overdone and it was deterring from the clarity of the playing. It is my opinion. I’m not a musician, so what do I know? I liked the transformer in the top position and the discrete in. It sounds cleanest this way!

@jocomend 9 лет назад

it is funny... Just about everyone you see is trying a new piece of gear, specially dynamics, in almost the same fashion! With variations: 50% Drums, 35% Vocals and the rest devoted to gt, bass and keys...Now getting a 7000 USD compressor and test it in a loop, scapes me I'd love to see demonstrations on acoustic ensembles, instruments and set ups, like a string quartet, a brass quintet, a big band, or in what the unit is supposed to do MASTERING.

@shreknos 9 лет назад

yep, damn knob turners and 'tweakers' Using this to compress a loop is so pointless. Show us on an entire drum buss or master channel

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Hahaha!!! Yup, I confess we are damn knob turners indeed :-) We just try to vary the program material from one video to the other... We got plenty of horns, orchestral pieces and various other music on other videos. If we did all styles for each piece of gear we would end up with 1h long videos! Happy new year ;-)

@viciousblissvideos Год назад

You make some really cool videos! What do you think of this compared to Thermionic Culture Phoenix or the Tubecore? I'm trying to decide if the Shadow Hills is worth it but there's not a lot of videos out there besides your's.

@andrebrown4677 4 года назад

When Mastering a song that has Stereo & Mono Tracks, what is the process to Compress&EQ a Master Bus without sacrificing a stereo mix or mono mix. After process through Comp/EQ. Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance! Andre
