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

thanks!!! I didn’t know this existed, subbed

I got onto Reddit back in the day for the electronic music production subreddits. There was an old Daft Punk interview during the big Ultra Music festival days where they made a joke that all EDM music was made by just one guy, Eric David Morris.
