    Compressor Shootout ā€“ Can You Trust Your Ears?

    Read the
    Does the plugin with the vintage hardware styling really sound better?
    In this video Iā€™m comparing different compressors, with a twist.
    Can you hear the difference? Leave a comment!

    What we see can greatly influence what we hear. This can have a serious impact on our mixes. Hardware and software companies can use this to trick us.

    Been using reacomp more and more, It is very versatile and great sounding.

    Funny Story

    Back in the day I worked at a studio that had a Sphere Eclipse console. It was was an old one, white and had a knob about 4 inches across on it. It was not hooked up to anything. We called it "The Producers Knob" When a player in the band wanted more of their instrument in the mix and it was already too loud, Just nod your head and turn "The Producer Knob". That almost always solved the problem.
