DID YOU KNOW PIPE ORGANS led to one of the world’s MOST LOVED COMPRESSORS? #compressor #mixing #VCA

You have no doubt heard of VCA COMPRESSORS – but do you know how one of the most famous is connected to PIPE ORGANS?. Have you heard of PWM COMPRESSION or wondered why DIODE-BRIDGE COMPRESSORS are relatively expensive ?

In part 2 we move from the 70s through to the 90s right up to the point where digital audio becomes a fully viable option for dynamics processing and discuss many of the terms you will see on today’s plug-ins that are not always well explained .

00:00 – Intro
01:04 – SSL Bus Compressor / VCA
03:12 – Auto Release
05:12 – SSL Channel Compressor Trick
06:12 – BUS +
06:31 – Neve, Focusrite etc
07:18 – Listen Mic Compressor
09:24 – DBX 160 VCA Compressor
09:45 – Soft Knee Compression
11:28 – Compressor Threshold
12:12 – Compressor Ratio
14:15 – Limiting
15:27 – Diode Bridge
17:51 – PWM Compression
21:21 – Here Comes Digital
22:44 – Outro

This video will cover VCA Compressors, Compressor Soft knee ( Over easy Compression ) , Compressors Threshold, Compressor Ratios, Diode Bridge compressors, PWM compression, The Early Digital Tape machines from Sony and Mitsibishi ( Sony 3324 Sony 3348, Mitsibishi
We look at the classic SSL bus compressors, Channel compressors the Sold State Logic Listen Mic Compressor ( LMC ) the new SSL bus+ the DBX 160 range , Neve 33069 and 2254 Diode bridge compressors PWM Compresion as used at the high end on the Cranesong STC-8 as well as the budget ART dual limter PWM compressor before we move in the realm of early digital systems like. the Sony Oxford ( or SONNOX ) Dynamics design – part of the lineage that spawned every compressor plugin we use today ..

This video was recorded all in one take so there are opinions in here and probably to odd small error – By all means correct me.
