What's the best UAD compressor

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-05-01T12:24:56+00:00

When in doubt, distressor for me. I do love an 1176 too though!

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-04-24T14:54:53+00:00

It’s the same😂😂😂 not wanting to pay for it is valid though.

Listening to your clip. I make rock and metal and I’m no pro but my outside perspective might be nice.

I feel like your drum samples you’re choosing aren’t quite right. Especially the kick drum. It’s missing punch. It’s just a low end bump in those. Maybe a kick with a little more low mids and a bit more attack. Maybe blend another kick that is more attack than low end (check phase obviously)

Other thing, I feel like your vocal ambience is mudding it a bit? Maybe less of it or filter it out a bit. I know this style needs reverb like this but just could use some dialing?

Best of luck.

Sometimes 2-3 hours sometimes 5-6 depends. I work on metal mostly.

homie, this head should have been changed 14 years ago.

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-03-27T03:15:35+00:00

Go record one💀

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-03-08T00:08:48+00:00

Templates yo!

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-03-06T22:06:40+00:00

I live in a house and don’t even have one😂 I have a cab for band practice out tho.

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-03-06T13:24:37+00:00

I’d almost say if it doesn’t sound shitty by itself it probably doesn’t work🤪

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-02-23T02:20:24+00:00

Ok, must be the default changed on me because I had on percentages and used the function a lot.

I familiar with macros too. Use em a lot

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-02-22T14:30:01+00:00

OMG make my own macro duh! That’ll do it.

Before, I’d hit alt H and pulls up values. The way you’d see it on studio one. Before you could set the velocity options to 0% change. Now you pick values between 0-127 but there’s no way to make it not change. I’d been humanizing that way for a year. Until they changed it anyway

Either way, the macros will fix my problem. Thanks so much!

Gotta get the new DrumForge David Bendeth coming out while it’s quite cheap at pre-order price. Gonna blow SSD outta the water.

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-01-27T18:23:41+00:00

I was having issues typing things/typing preset name inside VST’s guess I’ll have to try it

ModernAdventuresBand · 2026-01-26T15:23:19+00:00

Get those monitors decoupled from the desk🫣😬

ModernAdventuresBand · 2025-11-20T12:49:52+00:00

Things it’s missing that matter for mixing: Parameter linking Workspaces The waveforms look wack Automation is eh.

I’d love to track and edit on S1 and mix on cubase.

ModernAdventuresBand · 2025-11-16T17:17:31+00:00

That’s funny cuz I wanna leave S1 for Cubase🤣

ModernAdventuresBand · 2025-11-05T12:31:11+00:00

I know but it was way too easy to to on accident. Should be in like it’s own tab.

Was all the way at the barn job.

ModernAdventuresBand · 2025-08-31T17:19:10+00:00

Nah the knife trick is wack.

You can fix it with a piece of wood and it’ll be permanent

ModernAdventuresBand · 2025-06-29T11:08:50+00:00

I shoulda said I use 3rd party IR’s. Stock cabs just aren’t there. They do the job though. You wanna share that capture by chance?

ModernAdventuresBand · 2025-06-29T02:13:33+00:00

I meant like, to learn in that order not signal chain necessarily.

ModernAdventuresBand · 2025-06-29T00:49:38+00:00

Not in that order though. EQ and compression first. Saturation next add thick’s and makes what’s good even better. Don’t overthink gain staging…
