Tone & Color of the Fairchild Compressor

Great Video! Very Subtle but effective. Thank you for explaining your approach to the plugin, very professional. Will definitely explore your way.

Can you make video for Avalon VT737

Who is the artist in this video?

I was struggling to hear that difference in the kick drum at first, but the mids I heard very clearly being enhanced...BUT..the mid/side...that was a wow-moment! Incredible. Thank you!

Good, short and concise tutorial. And I can vouch for what he says: it's all correct:) Not that I'd expect wrong info here on pureMix, but the net is so full is bad or ill-conceived advice by people who just do and say what they've heard (or misunderstood) somewhere else. One example is, some recommend using the Fairchild as a bus(s)-compressor. But they don't mention its very fast attack. That's important info re: bus-compression! So it's great this guy mentions it:)

I really appreciate you going through one of my all time favorite plugins. Recently, I've had the UAD 2 670 plugin loaded on many of my vocal tracking sessions with no compression engaged. What I have found is that is really helps to reign in harsh tone and give it a bit of silk without sounding processed. Going to try this mid side mode on my 2 bus!

I enjoyed this video. I appreciated your format of playing the audio a few times with guided listening instruction and no gaps or words between the bypass and active states. I was really impressed with what the plug-in did to the sound without any compression. I'm going to have a closer listen to my IK Multimedia version. I wonder if it works as well.

The first studio I worked in had Fairchilds and Pultecs. At the time I hated them. UREI graphic EQs and LA2s were coming out. I wanted more bands on my EQ and small compressors that didn't live in a rolling rack that made the room 10 degrees hotter. What did I know? Pearls before swine for a newbie like me. But as I got better and had newer gear, I learned to appreciate the brilliance of those old gems. Finally I have credible plug-in versions. If only I knew then what I know now. Thanks to you guys, I'm still learning how to use them more effectively. Kudos

Very subtle use. Although I'm also doing the Golden Ears course which has minute db differences to train your listening , this is subtle. Any chance you guys could do the NEW Fairchild 670 as well ( non-legacy with the mix and side chain controls) ?

Great demonstration. Thank you

It's cool but I'd like more detailed instruction as to what all the controls do and how to use them. thanks Jimi

can you upload a free video of kick EQ ?

great

@j2fly it's the song "Magic" - by Vincci and Sam Nulton https://soundcloud.com/vinccioath/vincci-its-magic-featuring-sam

I'd love to know the song/artist featured in this video. Sounds like a cool track.
