Audio compressors - What are they ? How do they work

My first video of 2018. I had a little fun jamming a song...
This Back to basics : audio recording software - Compressors video, explain what is a compressor and what the common settings do.
The video starts with the video clip of a song about compressor.
Nothing serious just having fun.. . But following the video clip, you'll get a glance of how a compressor works.

AKG C451E and C460B with different capsules (CK1, CK1S, CK3, CK 61, CK22, CK62)

Hello, I'm new here and I don't know how much interest for this kind of stuff is there, but anyway: I did some comparisons between different combinations of AKG bodies and capsules; the file names are more or less self explaining.

460JW is Jim Williams moded 460B body, 460Stock is the stock body, and which capsule is attached you cen derive from the file name.

Phaser/Flange everywhere.

Folks, no matter what app I use to record myself singing and playing guitar, the guitar always projects a phaser/flange type sound. I deactivate those effects in the given apps but it still happens. I am running Win 10. Any input is much appreciated. I know this question and my level of recording is not up to the standards of the forum overall but still would appreciate hearing from you.

Multiple VST distributed

Hi, people! Glad to be in this "neighborhood".
A question: is it possible to link several computers running each one their own VST library and command them by one other computer using Pro Tools?
I mean, I thinking to distribute the software in differente resources (Mac's or PC's) to improve results in terms of time and stability.
May be it possible? Thanks!
