Reacomp

[Kingston]

i mean, come on, kingston-bonehead , it's actually funny that exactly you are the biggest propaganda machinery for placebo effects ... can't you simply agree with the fact that this placebo effect could maybe work the other way round, too??

can't imagine where you pulled that out of (but I have an idea ), and how you got the impression in the first place.

my main point of ever being here has been to cool down the completely unwarranted hype reacomp seems to be getting, and has had little or nothing to do with pushing any particular piece of expensive hardware.

to me this thread is the Antress thing all over again, with too many beginners getting pulled into thinking they're getting a free lunch.

There's no such thing.



and mate, you seriously need to learn how to encapsulate your thoughts in a little less paragraphs, especially if you ever intend to get a point across..

[brok landers]

with that i was refering to the fact that a lot of placebo fx fools the users out there, which i completely agree with ...

on your point:
i got you, as i stated in my previous post ...
also understood what you said now, but:
actually you seem to not understand my previous post, as:
with reacomp, you actually get, as you say, "free lunch", to a certain degree ...
you just don't see the fact i was talking about:
that other people define a good sound in a different way as you do ...
they can hear the important difference to other vst compressors, which you denie to be existing in reacomp ...
that's because you wheight how a good compressor sounds in a different way as , f.e., i do... or pipeline does ... that simple ...
and of course it's completely nonsens and unfair to compare reacomp to the antress-ones ...

while i agree on this, i was assuming you're smart enough to understand me ...
however, regarding this thread:
if you're true to yourself you can only come to one conclusion:
placebo effects work the other way around, too, thus somehow disqualifying units that have been buildt a myth on ...
thats what you don't like ... nobody does ... it's kind of a personal attack somehow ...
i feel that way on certain synths, too, as i'm deep into synths because of my job ...

Not enough to bicker for 10 pages however...

The Vari Mu has remained unplugged since Justin Started working on ReaComp, as it is no longer needed.

possible causes:

1. ear wax problems

2. severe tinnitus

3. recent audio interface upgrade with too little I/O for outboard usage.

4. you're just kidding, right?

5. not your studio

I mean, WTF. ReaComp is just another plugin compressor among many others and you're trying to convince people it fares well with 5k hardware.

What's your angle here? do you work for those reaper guys? (6.)


April 1st is still some time away and frankly I'm a bit baffled.

On the other hand, Pipeline here has actually used both of the compressors in real life.

Meh, owning gear stopped being an indication of having a clue when balding, divorced middle-managers started buying Les Pauls and Harleys...

What's the point of this ?

I'd hate to say that you undermine your otherwise educated learnings and opinions with useless personal jabs.

[I'd hate to say that you undermine your otherwise educated learnings and opinions with useless personal jabs.

and yet, brok understands what I meant by that. I don't undermine his opinion or experience knowing full well he's one of the few who are able to reasonably well back up their musings.

...but that doesn't make his literary output any less tedious.

Well, Pipeline isn't simply 'owning gear'. Here's an interview with him, done four years ago I guess. It also informs you on the professional recording / audio engineering work he'd done at that time: http://www.recordingproject.com/article ... article=23

Jesus, could you guys be any more tightly wound?

For valueing the arguments and experiences in the Pipeline - Kingston debate, it may be interesting for readers to have some info on the participants' professional background

[Marduchk]

we can be easily telling from posts like below that kinston was not trying to start anyhting. Look at the kind way he approaches the subject, and with tact as well. He does not leave one stone unopened.

Obviously Pipeline, you have no clue.

not in the slightest.

what's worrying is that KVR consists of mostly beginners and all those numbers and info may look impressive and valid to them.

and hence more mis-information is spread.

didn't we only last week go through another one of these threads?

Im going to assume the RMS window is very fast, essentially peak

that's some hardcore research and conclusions there.

[Kingston]

so Marduchk,

maybe you actually have something to contribute to the debate, instead of selectively reading my postings? I appreciate your affection to me, but it's not helping the topic much.

I already have a girlfriend by the way, in case you're thinking of taking things further.

See, I think (for the purposes of stuff like this) it's pretty much immaterial. I've worked with (as a performer) some significant producers/engineers who've recorded some very, very famous records and I would in no way describe them as uniformly informed. Some of them were f**king idiots with barely a clue.

The record and recording industry has a huge number of extremely knowledgeable and skilled people working within it, but also a huge number of utter f**king morons who are bluffing it until the day they are 'found out'. Many of them will never be 'found out'.

I'm not saying that Pipeline is or isn't a clueless idiot, I'm just saying that there are plenty of successful clueless idiots working in professional roles in music recording.
