Compression in the Box

[Whoops]

Speed - yes, because with quality analog equipment I can get the sound with a few adjustments.

I can say the same with quality digital plugins. Really quick to setup up in front of me in the correct mix place in the middle of the speakers. Don’t have to go to the rack and turn my head around and be out of the mixing position.
Fast, really fast

As long as you dont have to do any recalls

The solution to this is to print everything back into the session. It's a pricey but effective solution. So again things come down to cost.

I think if someone made a control surface with the tactile feel and response of hardware that would help a lot. Turning the knobs on a hardware EQ is waaay faster than using a mouse on a plugin.

What if the client asks for changes?

Not a problem, that's the whole point of printing, the mix is instantly recallable. No need to re-setup the kick drum chain to raise the vocal level, for example.

Great argumentation. Willing to read more astonishing content.

I've read and hear this so often, but for me it is >95% about the sound. Give me plugins that sound as good as the hardware and I gladly work with mouse and keyboard only.

 

[Whoops]

I use Plugins that not only sound as good as hardware but they also sound better.

Really? I would expect these kinds of idiotic graphical replies elsewhere. This forum deserves better.

Recall is so passé... How many times the SE is asked to just ride the vocals a fraction of dB, and ends up having to rebuild the whole mix?
Oh s..t! I made me the promise to never go again in the Brewery...

I am not sure what exactly this sub forum "deserves", but there are rules for acceptable behavior.

The "brewery" is kind of the release valve for this otherwise serious technical topics forum. That said we still need to avoid getting too personal with criticisms.

Play nice...

Attack @ 12 oclock, release @11 oclock and slam it!

Who are we "attacking" at 12 o'clock?
And why do we "release" them at 11 o'clock?

What did they do to us?
I'm also concerned about what happens during the time (I assume it's 11 hours) that we're holding them, among other concerns of course.

Edit: the use of the word "slam" doesn't bode well to me either.
I'm out.

I think he meant the attack knob at the 12 o'clock position, the release knob at the 11 o'clock position and slamming the signal with a compressor. Although i read it again to understand that, because i read it the wrong way too at first.

Yes its compressor settings and usage. I wouldn't believe that could ever, be misinterpreted. The thread is about compressors in the box and this is a setting I often use to seat the audio, so to speak.

I didn't see any problem in your post, neither I see how could it be misinterpreted.
I dont know what the problem was to be honest
