Chris and Jody jump in with a deep dive with the Distressor from Empirical Labs. The super versatile compressor that was designed from the ground up to emulate a couple other super classic compressors. The end result is a compressor that became a classic in it’s own right. We delve into the history, the models, and breakdown the controls. Then we explain what it’s good for. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
We discuss what exactly is a chain for recording, specifically we breakdown what a vocal chain is and why we use them. All about getting a better vocal recording for you or for your clients. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
