Hello everyone,

The invention of digital audio recordings liberated sound engineers in many ways which were not possible in the analog era. Even with all the tools at one’s fingertips, musicians and engineers sorely missed the sound and sonics of earlier recordings. The magic that the recording mediums imparted by default and one which was taken for granted.

Hey, Guys Tone Empire released a new plugin , Its called Model 5000 ( API 2500 x 2 clone? ), Its free for the first 15 days. They are running it on Intro Sale - $49 ( Original Price: $99 ). I think its a good deal.

Hi All!

So this is my first post. Long time forum viewer, newly active poster.

So many ways to compress audio. I am wondering what people find themselves using the most? Slow optical, fast solid state, diode, VCA? Which do you find the most useful flavour ?

Let's say I had 2 compressors in series with the following parameters:

Threshold = -5dB
Ratio = 2: 1
Attack = 50 ms
Release = 40 ms

Would there be any difference (technical / sonic / theoretical) if I had a single compressor configured as below?

What’s an affordable hardware bass guitar compressor?
