Of course we (Dutch) know the term Fingerspitzengefühl 🤣 It's such a precise word, describes exactly what you mean. Just like Schadenfreude. There's no English equivalent - at least not as one concise word - and even in Dutch it's not easy to be as precise as the German term. But in any case, it's quite easy, as the Dutch are multilingual anyway 🤣🤘😎

An interesting thing to do is to compare a hardware distressor with another hardware distressor. You will also notice differences. Knowing this, it's easier to understand that the plug-in was modeled on a piece of hardware that didn't sound exactly like the one you're testing. This principle works with two 1176s, two LA2As, two dbx160s, two Pultecs and even two SSL channels which are next to each other on the same console...

What a phenomenal surprise collab! In this world where we've all been separated from others so much, it's great to see two great content makers interacting in the same room together. Complementary personalities, too! You two should start a radio show together: Glen and Wytse in the Morning! K100.3 FM.

Ah some of my favorite HONEST engineers that arent about hype products. This is awesome!

This was lots of fun to watch, and it was quite informative too!

Cool video, guys, thanks for that. I have very little experience working with hardware. So whenever I use any so-called hardware emulation plugin I really can't judge whether it's an accurate emulation or not. Actually that is kind of an advantage. Using FG- Stress I am not chasing the hardware sound, I am simply going after badass compression for a great sound. Whether it comes close to something I have never actually heard, I don't really care since it delivers a great sound every time.

The crossover we have been waiting for lol, awesome vid

You guys are both informative and hilarious! 👍👍

The real question is would two analogue distressors null? I would not be surprised if they didn't, especially if one has been used for a long time and the other one is brand new.

My two favorite engineers, so happy.

I just downloaded the Tukan plugins. You can finetune the knobs on the Tukan D#-Treasure by holding Shift while dragging the mouse. That definitely makes it easier to use.

GREAT crossover!

Very good!

I record drums in quite a small room. I make the room sound later. I use the Slate gates too. Across the kit I use the UAD distressor with the UAD Neve 1081. I’ve worked on my kit in this room for a long time and it’s a good combination.

This makes me so happy ❤

So just as a point of comparison, it might be interesting to try and do a null test between your individual hardware Distressors at the same settings just to see what the effects of component tolerances / aging on two actual hardware units. Just a thought. Great video as always guys, keep them coming.

Much enjoy watching both these guys - for entertainment value as well as info (Moose). Cheers :)

In addition to all the comments, it´s a GREAT idea to compare the sound of analog vs hardware and to show the rendered audio. Reeeeeeeally interesting and excellent video!

This was great fun! You gotta colab again, for sure! And yeah, totally hearing smoother treatment of air frequencies during decay on the hardware, but the plugs sounded interesting and I'm always for having more tools and flavors rather than fewer. If UAD ever goes native with their version, it would be cool to include that along with the Arouser from Empirical Labs in a future shootout. Thanks for a great video!

Great stuff. I really enjoyed that and laughed out loud, 😃

Best crossover of the year! 🇨🇦

That was fun! The colour of the UI looks purple to me it matches great with the black rack mount graphics.

Ha! A little of my native land on your channel. Fun!!

Thanks!

This made the world feel a little smaller and friendly! Thanks for the useful information. I love a SSL strip on my real toms but now I want to try out the FG stress on it. As for the real thing? A guy can Dream I guess ;)

Glenn, you had a very favorible review of the t-racks comprexxor. In fact , I think you said it very closely emulated the distressor. Can you comment on on how well the comprexxor would stack up in the comparison ? Thanks guys, I really appreciate your no-BS content.

I own a Distressor (12 years) and own FG-Stress and IK’s Comprexxor, and in my opinion, hands down, that big compressed sound they went for on the drums (where you get a combo of natural reverb and distortion) in the video can not be done as well on the Comprexxor. I’ve tried, because I was excited about it releasing after the Slate. It doesn’t bring out the room in a lush way like the hardware can. But FG-Stress comes 90% and then if you tweak to match, you can get it to 98%. My ear can hear 2%. Level matching is integral when testing, especially in a null test. Cheers!

I absolutely love using Slate VMR on everything. I don't care if it sounds exactly like the hardware - to me it sounds good and I know it will work. I trust that people with better ears, better gear, and better rooms than me also thought it was good enough.

2 of my favorite youtube nerds together as one. its a PARADOX!

I use plugins, and I like them. I need a total recall since I work on many songs simultaneously, so if I can get something that compresses an 1176 plus some saturation (just like the distressor) I am okay with it. I have Smack, great distressor-like plugin in pro tools, and the ik multimedia one is fine. Could you let me know if you matched the -18 0vu with the analogue level? That makes a massive difference if the plugin is an accurate digital match of the original hardware. Also, 95% is pretty damn good anyway since two analogue hardware DON'T sound precisely the same either.

I love Slate stuff. Been using it for years on my mixes, the drum gate is great for real drums, which I still record :)

I love getting tape saturation going on my distressor. However it is sometimes a pita to pass all sounds through it. I've passed all my 909 samples through it and then use those in my sampler.

What about UAD distressor,apparently it's as good as the real one. Can you test that one?

There's also the Arousor by Empirical Labs.
