What’s happening there? It’s just an IG link
It wasn’t your IG link. That was just the last post in the thread.
It’s that other link further up in the thread.

Lol poor comfy box. I lurked on the site a bit. I’m pretty sure those downloads are legit. They seem pretty chill. I’m thinking I might go ahead and download some of those packs at some point
Maybe someone has a burner laptop they can use just in case…
I chatted to him on the gram the other night.
I asked if he was ok he said yes but not well.
We had a nice chat.

Not tryna shit on the tools, but if you know how New York parallel compression is done, I don’t see why you’d need a preset for it. But then again, if it’s faster and easier, and sounds good, then why not use it?

I know what it does but as I’ve said before compression confuses the heck out of me so I’ll use a preset that I know achieves the result I need.

You might think this dude is a total cringe speng, but he explains how to “listen” to compression, and how to use it, pretty well in this video. It all of course boils down to just going really slow and listen to the effect compression has on a signal, and make a decision on wheter you think it sounds better or worse.
This methodology of just slowing things down while you work, is applicable to anything you want to learn.
I have possibly already linked this to you, when I think about it… Might be hard to actually hear any difference unless you have good monitoring.

I got a new laptop finally. Once I finish moving everything over, I’ll give it a go

Most compressors have a wet/dry knob these days.

i use this guys theory at the end makes sense. it gives a familiar sound to drums etc because people used these settings for years on analog compressors and stays in my mind alot easier
attack times i only use 1ms agressive lets no transients through, 10ms lets sharp snappy transients through and 30ms punchy sound good for kick drums or drum bus but also could use 10ms.
release times 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 basically just double just use whatever one sounds good for you.
most of the time i just use a soft clipper so much easier and if the sound is too agressive as in the clipper extends and amplifies the tail of the kick. i use a compressor to shape it so its more snappy/punchy
compressors are fucking confusing but i recomend giving this video a watch and save it to a playlist or something. even i dont fully understand lol so take my advice with a pinch of salt and do i want to understand compressors even more than this? no i cant be fucking bothered with it let sound engineers deal with that shit
btw kryptic minds hardly use any compressors if makes you feel better i watched one of there interviews years ago

Compressors confuse le as I have posted many many times. Let’s see if this one finally clicks it.

If not this one might do the trick, a short watch if you have the time (prob. repost but w/e)

EBS Sweden Drive Me Crazy
Coolmusic Versatile Chorus
Behringer FX100 Digital Multi-FX
Behringer UM300 Ultra Metal

Yamaha E1010 Analog Delay
My plan is to set up the Mackie as my main mixer, then run some of the effects through the send loops, then record straight to the NAD cassette deck, or possibly the Zoom H6.
The Electribe EMX-1 works great as a drum machine and main sequencer, since it can also output MIDI. Using the Akai MIDI patch bay, I recon I don’t have to resort to any daisy-chaining between devices.

I’m not. Bought that bass off a friend who needed money for a flight ticket. It’s pretty mindfucky to play upside down, but it’s possible.

I hope you’ve got insurance.
I’m still in the transport union, even though I’m unemployed. There’s some basic home insurance included. 130 NOK/month, not too shabby.
