@Aeronaut1975: By far the best video I've seen on this plugin. I feel like I actually understand HOW it works now, and WHAT to listen for when a knob is adjusted. Good job, thank you!
@iamtheaaronsmith8358: Instant subscribe. Incredible video!
@AudioMasterclass replies to @iamtheaaronsmith8358: Welcome aboard!
@garthgundy: I’ll have Latin funk ghost notes percolating in my head for the next hour, wonderful example groove
@AudioMasterclass replies to @garthgundy: That's Joe Clancy playing, currently to be heard with Vardis https://www.vardisrocks.com/ No Latin there though.
@grzegorzporowinski: Best explanation of this plugin in the web, great job! :D
@AudioMasterclass replies to @grzegorzporowinski: Thank you for your comment, I do my best. DM
@studiolaflamme8501: Really good drummer
@AudioMasterclass replies to @studiolaflamme8501: Joe Clancy, currently rocking with Vardis https://www.vardisrocks.com
@danielwieten8617: Finally a snare drum video that's not about HOW TO MAKE YOUR SNARE SOUND FAT or roughly translated, "how to make your snare sound like a floor tom"
@harryscottelliott8970: Great, useful video. Thank you
@AudioMasterclass replies to @harryscottelliott8970: You're welcome. DM
@sda5150: sensational demo, really loved that you covered all the extremes
@AudioMasterclass replies to @sda5150: Thank you for your comment. DM
@yanfang6609: Maybe the microphone too close
@aarona.dubzperson8245: I used this today on a snare drum, and OMG. SHEEEESSSHHH!!!
@jasetv3275: Why does the CLA 76 affect my tracks panning? when i apply to a vocal or my 808 the stereo image gets fucked. any clue? is this normal?
@CrankCase08 replies to @jasetv3275: Are you using the mono version of the plugin?
@Novanotta: Good vid. A blue stripe would be a classic urei emulation as universal audio never reissued it.
@matrixate: Wow...this is really impressive. I knowing people claim that the MJUC is just as good but the Waves is flat our way better when you really drive and compress heavily. I vote this LA76 emulation up. There's a reason why this bundle is so expensive.
@MaxSleigh: This is great, I was trying to use it like a regular compressor and didn't really understand it. This was really helpful, especially when you pointed out that the attack and release times become shorter the more your turn the dial! Thanks man
@whubwhubs replies to @MaxSleigh: looks like a regular compressor to me
@rt-uh6mt replies to @MaxSleigh: Uh, I think he's referring to how when you increase the attack and release you get a shorter time which is not the norm.
@devinowens3885: Thanks for the tutorial. Definitely cleared up some questions I had about this plug in :)
@AudioMasterclass replies to @devinowens3885: Thank you for your comment.
@peteralexandre6593: very nice tutorial !! thank you ! Just one thing : when you get a shorter release there is less compression so we cannot say that when we turn the release button clockwise we apply more compression. But it totally works for the attack time.
@AudioMasterclass replies to @peteralexandre6593: Thank you for your comment. Using a short release sounds like more compression because the compressor is more active. The faster the gain reduction meter's needle moves, the more compression you will hear subjectively.
@laid-backmusicgrouptv3003: Great Tutorial! Thumbs up!
@AudioMasterclass replies to @laid-backmusicgrouptv3003: Thank you for your comment.
@Salantsoundstudios: Great demo! Thanks!
@AudioMasterclass replies to @Salantsoundstudios: Thank you for your comment.
@slinkyphil: This is very strange…. Why do the snare ghost notes sound so far? They seem to come from another snare
@raise-project replies to @slinkyphil: They are below the threshold level so they get compressed mcuh different making them sound like not part of it.
@petervad: Thank you so much. I found this video wonderfully useful. Cheers.
@AudioMasterclass replies to @petervad: Thank you for your comment.
@joejonfitzpatrick: excellent video. Thanks very much.
@AudioMasterclass replies to @joejonfitzpatrick: Thank you for your comment.
@soundgasmstudios5658: What was the chain into the computer?
@AudioMasterclass replies to @soundgasmstudios5658: Shure SM57 into SSL 9000J into Prism ADA-8 into Pro Tools.
