I do SC compression the "classic" way with a separate bus so I never really bothered with the Dry-Knob anyway. I always used some sort of 1176 VST emulation to get that particular type of compression, now I don't need it anymore and can rely solely on ReaComp. Fantastic! Thank you again!

Proper oversampling would be quite trivial to support too, I wonder why they didn't do that. The trick with linking two compressors to get more 1176-style compression blew my mind! Looking forward to further entries in the series.

I mean ReaComp has always been "make your own compressor" type of a thing where you can save presets for RMS and feedback mode etc. to mimic different types of compressors. And it has really low cpu-use so you can just whack it all around.. I know Justin and pals have seen your video and we'll see if there's going to be ReaComp2 (they definitely don't want to break the backwards compatibility so new version would be expected) Thanks for the video, I learned a lot.

    Dan Worrall is genius! I wonder why he didn't explore the Precomp feature in ReaComp at all. And where is this Fabulous Feedback compressor trick? I learn more from 30 minutes of Dan Worrall, Andrew Zeleno, or Fab Dupont than I do from hours of other presenters. Excellent ear training and lots of shortcuts for knowing what to use to get a certain sound. Much faster than fiddling with a bunch of compressors and settings. Can't thank Mr. Worrall enough!
