Few Questions:
Does anyone else know what the compressor is remodeled after?
Does anyone have any Tips or Tricks?
What are your guys thoughts anyone love or hate it.
I personally love it and even use over hardware compressors sometimes especially on kicks and snares.
Here’s some close study:
There are many more tips and tricks if you search on “compressor” in the Octatrack category.
Personal approach :
Set RATIO to max
Set THReShold by hear, it lowers volume.
Increase GAIN
Adjust all parameters to taste :
ATK increase : more transients level
REL decrease : more pumping effect
Decrease RATIO for a more natural effect.
Extreme settings :
ATK 0
REL 127
THRS 0
RAT 127
GAIN 20 or more
MIX 127
RMS is quite subtle, increase it theoretically for a master mix.
RMS adjusts the way the compressor works. A zero setting makes the compressor look for amplitude peaks and a max setting makes it react to the overall energy level of the signal.
Do a search on OT compressor threads. There are a few good ones that help out with tips. Sorry, I’m mobile at the moment or I would just drop a link for you.
Yes, I too have been able to get some snares that I have been very happy with. This is the best compressor in any sampler I’ve used. It’s fantastic.
I would imagine it’s modelled after a Vca compressor. I’ve been messing with the DT one and I’ve got to say it’s decent. It’s nice with the classic SSL bus settings on 1/3rd dry.
Haven’t got around to resampling individual sounds with it though.
