Chandler equipment is freaking phenomenal! An absolute joy to work with and results are undeniable. Makes finding a sweet spot a real breeze! Love it!😊👍🏻
It's ok to spend some more time on the bypassed and unbypassed. None of us are impatient when we are watching your incredible review vids. Amazing gear selection you have.
Man you are so good and lucky to have these luxury gear to work on music. Your demo video and the unit really really impressed me. I am very interested to compare the hardware and softube version. I back and forth compare the videos from yours and other software version demo. The hardware demo sounds much punchier and depth to me. Thanks for sharing.
Very unique sounding box. Excellent piece! The zener diode puts a lot softer highs than the germanium one - super homogen and natural - it adds a ton of weight to the music. For my taste, it works best on guitar and i guess on organ too...for sure, always depends on the material. With the correct parameters, the smooth pumping effect (without sidechain) can perfectly groove with the music.
I absolutely love it on mixbuss with the needles barely moving/not moving or in THD mode after the Curve Bender. It’s easy to overdo it though, if you’re not careful.
to me excellent on the mix bus, this make the music shines (the tone or color) and at the same time smooth and punchier (groove) in the sweet spot :-) thanks.
Hi Doctor Mix , You've been using the gear only on drums bus channel or Master , as does it work on the instrument channel ( Piano, Guitar, Synths ) Thanks for your video Best T
+ouhlala! You certainly achieve different results compressing elements in isolation as opposed to as a whole. When compressed as a whole, the loudest elements will trigger compression, which can help all the elements sit better together (often referred to as "glue"). Compressing the elements individually allows for more control over the compression, but will not achieve the same gluing effect.
Hi Armor! In this case side chain refers to the filtering out the bass frequencies from the compressor detection circuit. In other words the more you turn the side chain knob to the right, the less bass frequencies will affect the amount of overall gain reduction. This is generally used to reduce the "pumping effect" :-) It's a slightly different concept than side chaining a kick to the compressor in order to duck the rest of the track, as it happens in EDM.
Doctor Mix i've checked your videos and i notice that many of the hardware makes an annoying clicking sound when you hit "bypass" is this is customary with some analog hardware? thanks MGTOW Ten Commandments
Doctor Mix lol i asked because i remember messing with equipment back in the 70's and it's been my experience with cheap equipment that it would have that annoying clicking sound i thought during the late 80's / 90's they had eliminated that due to tweeter damaging noise i'm interested in this issue because i'm getting some outboard hardware to connect with my daw. as i've always stayed away from equipment that adds any kind of noise to the chain, can you tell me what is the "beauty of it?" thanks a lot!
MGTOWInBetweener It only happens when switching due to the bypass being an actual switch. The beauty of it is in its total recall-ability, the gear never makes the noise when passing music through it, only turing on the bypass. Hope this clarifies!
Doctor Mix yeah i knew that. it's just that i don't like that annoying sound, plus it messes with the tweeters but thanks again dude. this helps me out when i shop i'm gonna research that issue before i buy
MGTOWInBetweener A lot of analog gear has that. It's pretty hard to avoid, nor is it very detrimental issue. You might pass over some good gear in looking to avoid this minor issue.
Maybe the Zener Limiter plugin, but this thing has a very uniquely-colored sound if you use it on a mix. Very feast or famine, though, either chokes the life out of a mix or makes it sound amazing.
