Cool sound. 😊

The added analog noise actually sounds good on the Masterbus...it gives the mix some pleasent air....sounds like a tiny bit of 10k perfect for mix mub.....that actually makes the comp sound more Gluy

What a pretty song.

Yep, that sounds fantastic! Looks like I’ll be modifying my template 🤔

excelente

You are dead right?

love this. thank you

Do you have the sends to the compressors as Post Fader or Post Pan? Are the compressors supposed to be a particular settings default? Thanks

Great tutorial! Told me exactly what I needed to know! Thanks

Definitely a little over processed? Sounded better to my ears with only one of the EQs engaged. Just the bus one, or the kick in one should do it. Depending on the rest of the mix, of course..

This is cool, but I wish you did this on a track with drums. Still! Appreciate you.

Hi, great tutorial. I am wondering why you would boost say 3db and cut 2db instead of just boosting 1db only?

Well, this is a bummer his website has been down for almost 4 years let his domain go looks like.

Great video, but the plosives on your mic are really bad.

thanks Pete, great food for thought!

Thank you. Very helpful.

Great job. Learned so much. Your teaching style puts one at ease from the very beginning. You get the feeling that you truly want to help folks learn about mixing. Thank you for that :)

Can I just say, I watched a few reviews and "hands on" videos and your video made me want to purchase the API 2500 plug-in. Keep up the good work man!!! You just got another subscriber!

I hate this compressor... the attack and release being reverse is only the beginning... NOTHING about this compressor makes sense. there is not threshold... you get gain reduction by turning the input up... which ALWAYS makes a signal louder as it compresses leaving you to chase the unity gain with the output. Also the gain reduction meter doesn't work correctly either... you can have the input all the way down and the gain reduction is at "0," but in reality that means the compressor has the gain reduced by more than -20... so what could it possibly mean in an objective sense once you start dialing in the input????? IT'S GARBAGE!!!!!!!!

I love these comparison videos. Since none of them sound like they have any makeup gain, they are all making the sound louder when you turn them on. In the end, it sounded like the ther Slate Digital FG Grey was adding the lease amount of volume. They all sound pretty much the same, so I would personally just pick the cheapest one & go with it. I'm already happy with my compressors, but if anyone is trying to decide from this video, just get the cheapest one... or the one whose interface intrigues you the most. I love a good interface. 😎

everything sounds great before this plug in but once you hear it, you need it.

This man did not just set a compressor without gain staging the compressor to a level matched volume.... there's no way. THIS IS WHY YOU DEMO PLUG-INS YOURSELVES PEOPLE AND LEARN HOW TO NOT TRICK PERCEPTION with non-level matched comparisons. Anyways, good bye.

Do you sing?

That was VERY helpful. Thank you!

Wow, its that simple, this video was so easy to understand, this will make my mixing as a newbie to prouction of my material so much easier. Thanks 💯👍🏽

Thanks for video!👍

Awesome song, sounds like a 90's pop hit!

Thanks for the video! 👏 Just FYI, I think you're reading the controls incorrectly. Bandwidth is only related to HF, not LF, and the attenuator on the right is related to "atten sel" switch on the right which is a high shelf, so you're not boosting and cutting 8 kHz as you say.

Waiting for your comeback. Hoping its in the near future? :)

would it kill you to make on/off comparisons without stopping and saying "this is with phase..." "and this is without phase.."

I've tried multiple times to drag the Pultecs onto a session but always directly to an instrument track and never was happy with them.. Thankyou for the tutorial !! I finally dropped them onto a buss and wow that's where they shine :) Really can do subtle magic with them in mastering as well..

5 years later i’m back in recording and your tutorials are a boon to refresh my memory and learning! Thanks for what you do brother ❤ love the track too 😊

Does anyone know what happened to Pete? Does he have another channel he is using?

You look greasy today. Take a shower.

This dude has nazi symbols in the background. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Percenters.

this is incorrect - Brauer does "bus compression" what you are demonstrating is "parallel compression"

Morph reverb all in one reverb

Great video - I still don't understand though if you're boosting 4 and cutting 3.5, isn't that the same as just boosting 0.5?

great explanation. Thanks

5 years later still one of the best comp videos ever

pretty late to the party, but your office reverb preset, with adjusted pre delay makes a SICK subtle drum room. Thanks a ton, sir!

Thank you!

Appreciate the video!

A little tip I was told ls is to set your gain reduction at the loudest part of the track.

Great voice! But no idea about anatomy.

Great, Easy to understand explanation, very helpful Thank you

The way I came up with to remember the "backwards" Attack & Release knobs is that they are labeled 1 to 7. Think of the 7 as 70 miles per hour. Almost all other compressors are the opposite: turning the Attack & Release knobs clockwise is slower. But with the 1176, clockwise is faster.

That shaker in the background is annoying other then that it’s great
