Spectral Compressor: You Have To Relearn Compression

I mean technically the parameters still do the same thing as in normal compressors, but it's like coupled to a whole different sensation of sound modulation that you need to get used to first.

I used to use soothe2 but to be honest, i was never happy with how it sounded. ive been using Spectral Compressor for a month and its my favortie tool now, i love it for extreme damage actually. reminds me of MSpectraldynamics a lot - i loved that workflow in 2014, im really happy this is blowing up right now

@Beatsbasteln 23 дня назад

@@StanleyGurvich i ended up with Soothe on that particular example, but I use SC on many other tracks. I like that the 2 effects can't be exactly matched, but just play similiar roles in their own ways

@Beatsbasteln 23 дня назад

I don't think Robbert's Spectral Compressor is going to be the last successful spectral compressor. This is still a rather young category of audio plugins and there's a lot of potential to give it a unique spin. For example you could just use other shapes than parabolas for the spectral distribution or try different compressor algorithms on the bins

@pham4925 21 день назад

Cool idea, yet I stil have a hard time actually hearing what it could do to a signal. While these synths are cool, they are already super processed and its unusually difficult to get a good idea what they sound like. Kinda like showing ott on 100% doesn't hint at the practicality of it much.

@Beatsbasteln 21 день назад

@@pham4925 this is literally how i practically use the effect in this project xD i know i'm neither using it subtle nor ultra hard, but somewhere in between and that can be confusing, but that is literally why i said 'you have to relearn compression'. the spectral context of the compressors completely changes what kinda sound shaping can be achieved and expected from the effect. it is an unusual sound character that might throw you off at first, but it's also addicting and because of that it will likely get as hyped as autotune at some point

Thanks. Ive oogled this plugin ever since I saw AU5s video. But the install process seems complicated. If you wanna make an install video for it. Id be very happy :)

@Beatsbasteln 23 дня назад

you go to the spectral compressor link in the video description. there you click at the "NIH-plug" link and then on the link that says "here". There are the downloads. in the downloaded zip you find both clap and VST3 versions of robbert's effects. you can copy the VST3 files to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" and the CLAP ones to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP". you only need either VST3 or CLAP, not both.

@SolarLiner 21 день назад

The specific issue with Mac is that developers are required to sign their apps and plugins with Apple, or they won't open at all with the "Apple couldn't verify this app" type of message. I think you need to disable the System Integrity Protection to make them load right now, or he needs to get a certificate from Apple so he can sign his plugins and arrow people to run them normally, but that, obviously, costs money.

the workaround for this is so stupid but works. just go to your vst3 folder and make like 10 copies of it.

@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS 14 дней назад

honestly teachers and labrats dont understand emotions and psychology! what do you expect. "Psychological and emotional Impact" is a different science to "Sonic and Audio Impact". They CAN work together but the one is WAY more potent in making "music" vs "interesting sounds". Skrillex for instance, is a CULTURAL Genius FIRST.... and then AUDIO genius second. GET THAT. TEST THAT.

@Beatsbasteln If the audio example you gave in this video is supposed to be an actual mix/song that you are planning on releasing in the future and not just an example crafted specifically to showcase the compressor in a mix where changes of parameters are easily noticeable due to exaggeration in volume and intensity, then yea, it sucks a lot actually. If not, then that guy who originally commented hasn't understood the point of a good tutorial.

@Beatsbasteln 22 дня назад

@@TRVladdy oh yeah, i see what you mean. you expected a change in sound that is more on the subtle side of things, like in most compressor tutorials. but i was not clickbaiting when I wrote the title 'You Have To Relearn Compression'. Because while you don't have to relearn what attack, release or ratio means, the resulting sound shaping capabilities are just completely different in a spectral compressor. a much more extreme sound that blurs the boundaries between sounddesign and mixing.
