This guy is hands down the best teacher of dynamics processing and gear reviews on YT that I have come across so far and I’ve watched many similar videos. I don’t watch “normal” TV anymore this is my entertainment/education 😂 I’m watching all these videos trying to decide what HW compressors to buy to get my Akai Z4 kick to punch more but also retain the low end, a comp to sidechain my synth/bass with the z4 kick as key input, need a nasty smasher type compressor for my tops bus and then a st compressor for the overall drum bus for glue and warmth. I produce all types of house music, progressive house mostly. I’m out the box mostly. Only got £1000 max to cover all these duties though 😂 My shortlist so far: Drawmer DL241 for smashing tops bus DBX 160A for kick drum punch MXR 136 LIMITER for drum bus Drawmer 251 spectral compressor for bass/synth side chain duties Probably slightly over budget with those choices but it’s a good time for buying at mo so it may be possible Anybody got any better suggestions please chime in. Thanks for the awesome videos dude Any dynamics

I have always wanted the real thing, but I definitely have my eye on this plug in now. I’ve got an old Symmetrix CL 100, single channel compressor/DeEsser, and it’s got the valley people chip in it. There’s a few old Symmetrix units that were made with that chip. I will never get rid of this compressor... for snare drum, and bass guitar, it’s really good !!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Thank you David. This plugin is great sounding. It will be on sale soon. I think I will get it than. It reminds me of what a dbx can do in totally destroying drums in limiter mode. Did you try to put two Dynamite in serial, first as a limiter / destroyer and the second as a usual compressor. I think you can get very interesting drums or other instrument effects or of it. Cheers

Hi David thanks for the tips love this plug-in and the gate too. One question how to level matching when we do some paralell compression? And another question maybe for the Q&A serie if we don't plan to make a Cd but just streaming and video music on KZitem is it better to record tracks at 44.1 or 48 kHz?

It's better to record at 48Hz regardless what you use the audio for

The problem with this plugin is this: Normally I start compressing the drums with a very fast attack and lower the attack until I make it sound the way I want. There is no formula for this, as each drum (kick, snare or tom) sounds different and each song is different. Having a fixed attack options makes it less flexible and very situational.

Yes actually, and it's pretty spot on but I'll say something that I wouldn't say probably about any other comparison between sf/hw, I preferred the plugin, simply because the hw as very noisy and scratching pots :D and this new version has features that make it very versatile for modern music. One of the best (most underrated) best plugin emulations

I just want to say your haircut is an excellent idea for a mixing engineer. It totally gets that sound blocking hair away from your ears. I can't stand it when I see engineers wear baseball caps in the studio. It's like how much did you pay for your room treatment, your monitors, etc, and you're going to wear a reflector in front of your face? I always have my clients with long hair pull it back if they're open minded. (and want to be open-eared) Surely it sounds different to them. Mohawk though is where it's at!

Hi David. Reminds me a bit of a dbx160. Would you say this could be the better choice as the Arouser, when going for a Distressor type of compression? As the Arouser seems not to be very close to the hardware. Thank you as ever. Cheers

Kind of.. the really really angry cousin of the DBX. No, I would not, it's way too aggressive and nervous, even a lower settings. This is more of an effect compressor, Distro can do it all

Hi David, I know you like Devil Loc too. What’s the difference between the two? if we want to get smashing drum sounds, we can just use one of them, right? I have Devil Loc & Lindell 354e which has the Nuke to get the drums smashed too.

The dyna has a very distinctive sounds, you recognize it immediately, but it is a compressor, loc is more a distortion unit with one smash-tyoe compressor in it, one setting only tho. Dyna is great to get snap out of drums, and with fast attack, smash too, but more the first one, it's also one of the best analog sounding gates out there.

Thanks for the explanation, David. You’re the best. I bought KClip & URS saturation because I saw your video long time ago. I use them all the time when mixing drums. Now the dyna is on sale. I’m thinking about buying it but softube has the new Mike-E comp. It’s a very good plugin. It doesn’t have a gate. But I already have all PA ssl & neve consoles that have good gates too. I’m confused 😄
