With the advent of classic gain reduction units in software/ plugin form, I thought I would start a series of threads explaining how these original classic units worked - kind of a "what makes them tick" series of threads, for those who are using emulations from companies like UAD, T-Racks/IK Multimedia, Waves, Bomb Factory, Steinberg, etc.

I thought I'd start this poll, the motivation behind it being that we might discuss those problematic instruments, and share our own personal tips and tricks with them.

Feel free to add any scenarios that I've overlooked...

What say you?

TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK

First I need to say, I'm not a signer and neither a guitar player.
This is a preamp test done with one of the most common mic the Shure SM57. Tests include the Universal Audio La610 and 710, the Focusrite ISA and the interface Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56

Hello people
The reason why I am creating this Thread is because there is a lot of confusion going on I believe, and I am not a professional on this Subject matter myself. So I'm hoping that somebody can break it down.

Wow, check this out. Talk about an awesome gig! http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/28/6071399/scientists-are-recording-the-sound-of-the-whole-planet
