Wow! I was using this with just the presets (on the free version, which are great) simply because I was clueless as to how to set it beyond the basic controls of any compressor. Now I know what each knob is doing, and more importantly, what to do with them. The GE has a few extra features, but even the free version is very versatile. This was also very instructional on compression in general. This knowledge will also help you set other compressors with similar features. Great video.

Thank you, Mister. You're a real gentleman - so I just bought the Bundle with the GEs of all that great plugins. For the actual discount it was a no-brainer. I'm sure in future I will mainly use the TDR plugins for mixing and mastering tasks - and I will surely return from time to time to your fantastic video.

@giovannispinotti 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty impressive video and tutorial, thanks a lot. I stumbled only recently on the TDR stuff and they are impressive, and Kotelnikov is no exception. One thing that became clear, is that I'll never be a mastering engineer: the subject is fascinating, I do have both the mathematical background and the audio engineering experience to understand it, I can spend a few hours in the morning listening to the subtle differences of the various release settings, but I'm still so much more interested in shaping the broad feel of a song when mixing. But again, great video, thank you so much.
