This is so fascinating. I might have to play with this! The music you used to demonstrate it did a perfect job showing how it actually works.

I saw this video when it came out, and ever since then, ive used it in so many sound designs, ots the best

Got my download and will be mixing with it tomorrow. Can't wait!

It was one of my next projects, so I don't have to worry about it anymore :-)

I don't think Robbert's Spectral Compressor is going to be the last successful spectral compressor. This is still a rather young category of audio plugins and there's a lot of potential to give it a unique spin. For example you could just use other shapes than parabolas for the spectral distribution or try different compressor algorithms on the bins

I used to use soothe2 but to be honest, i was never happy with how it sounded. ive been using Spectral Compressor for a month and its my favortie tool now, i love it for extreme damage actually. reminds me of MSpectraldynamics a lot - i loved that workflow in 2014, im really happy this is blowing up right now

@@StanleyGurvich i ended up with Soothe on that particular example, but I use SC on many other tracks. I like that the 2 effects can't be exactly matched, but just play similiar roles in their own ways

Cool idea, yet I stil have a hard time actually hearing what it could do to a signal. While these synths are cool, they are already super processed and its unusually difficult to get a good idea what they sound like. Kinda like showing ott on 100% doesn't hint at the practicality of it much.

@@pham4925 this is literally how i practically use the effect in this project xD i know i'm neither using it subtle nor ultra hard, but somewhere in between and that can be confusing, but that is literally why i said 'you have to relearn compression'. the spectral context of the compressors completely changes what kinda sound shaping can be achieved and expected from the effect. it is an unusual sound character that might throw you off at first, but it's also addicting and because of that it will likely get as hyped as autotune at some point

you go to the spectral compressor link in the video description. there you click at the "NIH-plug" link and then on the link that says "here". There are the downloads. in the downloaded zip you find both clap and VST3 versions of robbert's effects. you can copy the VST3 files to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" and the CLAP ones to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP". you only need either VST3 or CLAP, not both.

The specific issue with Mac is that developers are required to sign their apps and plugins with Apple, or they won't open at all with the "Apple couldn't verify this app" type of message. I think you need to disable the System Integrity Protection to make them load right now, or he needs to get a certificate from Apple so he can sign his plugins and arrow people to run them normally, but that, obviously, costs money.

the workaround for this is so stupid but works. just go to your vst3 folder and make like 10 copies of it.

honestly teachers and labrats dont understand emotions and psychology! what do you expect. "Psychological and emotional Impact" is a different science to "Sonic and Audio Impact". They CAN work together but the one is WAY more potent in making "music" vs "interesting sounds". Skrillex for instance, is a CULTURAL Genius FIRST.... and then AUDIO genius second. GET THAT.

@@TRVladdy oh yeah, i see what you mean. you expected a change in sound that is more on the subtle side of things, like in most compressor tutorials. but i was not clickbaiting when I wrote the title 'You Have To Relearn Compression'. Because while you don't have to relearn what attack, release or ratio means, the resulting sound shaping capabilities are just completely different in a spectral compressor. a much more extreme sound that blurs the boundaries between sounddesign and mixing.
