    I'm going to have to try this on my podcasts. It sounds like by setting each compressor carefully, I could really control the peaks while also having a very even level overall. It makes sense why you would want that for mastering, but it seems just as applicable for a spoken audio format.

    Love your videos Justin! excited about this one. Can’t find your mixing in headphones video from the other day. Wondering if you could tell me if you which you feel is more accurate in low end… Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 ohm Open-back VS Sennheiser HD 600 Open-back (or even overall accuracy). Price is not a factor. Thank you!!

    Justin Colletti & Plugin Alliance: I would love a video on how you would use a passive eq like the Plugin Alliance Passeq. I believe it is usually used on Master Busses & Mix Busses. So as a Mastering Engineer how would you use it (a passive eq) in Mastering...but can & would it be used on Group Busses...or can it be used in Parallel Compression...or on Individual Track...and when would you make those decisions. If you make that video on the Plugin Alliance page or the SonicScoop page...I would be interested in hearing your opinion. In my opinion the Passive EQ's are very different than the other kinds of EQ's available...and I don't really have a clear model in my head on how to use them. I think because they sound so good...just like with compression...I think that Passive EQ's could be very easy...at times...to over use. I don't really have a model in my head on what could be too much...and when to back off. Thanks, Craig

    So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the signal is divided into 3 paths (4 if you count the DRY), compressed separately, Fast, Slow, Peak, and the delta from all the compressed path blended back together with the knobs (Fast, Slow) work as mix knob ?

    incorrect. The signal is split and sent into 3 detector circuits, switching which detector is active based on level.

    I wish there was a way to disable the auto-gain, which I never use, in any plugin. I mainly use compression as a Loudness Leveler, which usually demands lowering the loudest parts, and auto-gain would always sabotage the goal. Thanks very much for this introduction. This new beast is quite tricky to tame, lol :)

    @@Metalpazallteway Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Our emulations faithfully model both the functionality and circuitry of the hardware devices involved. While the Brainworx team had the option to add plugin-only features, it's not always feasible for the general result or even possible to modify the signal flow or incorporate functions like sidechaining, add a tube stage or make something go to 11. We do however collect your feedback and check what's possible.

    So which hardware compressor was emulated because just saying a classic comp that is found in professional studios is not really saying anything. Sounds like a marketing term used to get us to buy. Don't get me wrong I love PA and I use their products in all my mixes. I just want to know what I'm buying nit jus how it works
