🔥 Do This First:

To get the most out of your recording or streaming space, I recommend sound treatment including acoustic absorption panels. This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality acoustic treatment available at an excellent value.

Get the best sound in your studio space and support askdrtk tutorials and reviews!

🛒 Important note about product and service links:

I find this bus compressor to be versatile as it can be very transparent for modern pop genres but the even harmonics added by engaging the THD circuit contributes nicely to my mix bus processing (along with a stereo mic pre, EQ, and SPL BIG) when I want to subtly thicken up a mix. All controls are stepped which helps make recall consistent, all controls feel solid and the build quality appears very good. For those interested, they are manufactured and assembled by hand in Sweden. Let me know what's on your mix bus in the comments below. Cheers!

Another example of what I consider to be the placebo effect of outboard gear, after 20 years in the game. I couldn't blind test and tell you what's what. Cheers

I don't know the hardware and I'm new to audio stuff, but I've recently got the elysia's musiq and mpressor plugins and imo they far exceed what comes by default in DAWs.
