I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!
Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:
(in no particular order)
Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.
Another heads up: this is an installer and requires iLok to activate. I made an account to get the license but I'm avoiding any plugin that requires iLok until I can get that process to work with fewer issues. Sometimes the plugins just won't load or require me opening and logging into iLok.
Would love to be using this plugin on my stuff though so thanks for posting. Does anyone have recommendations on situations this compressor excels at? Any situations you'd avoid using it?
Good note about the iLok requirements.
I’ve personally found 1176-style FET compressors good on drums, especially with parallel compression in the all buttons in mode. It can be a really fast compressor so like quick transient stuff it does well on. Isn’t the first compressor I would grab for like soft pianos or a delicate vocalist if you’re looking for what its weaknesses are.
Edit: Also not a good mix bus compressor
Sweet, thanks for the heads-up
Thanks for sharing ! Never used UA plugins, apart from quickly trying them out with a friend that bought an UA soundcard recently. I'll give this a go !
