Hi Paul, Hi Kyle. I AM an audiophile of sorts. I graduated from UCSD with a B.A. in ICAM; Basically a music technology degree. With the compressor, you're not adding an "amount" to the signal, like when adding the other effects like chorus or delay. The knob for the compressor is setting the threshold in decibels for when the compressor is activated. If sound coming into the line is above that set threshold, the compressor is activated and compresses the signal. How much it is compressed is dependent upon the compression ratio you choose. If you need a sound guy to help you set up, answer audio tech questions, or just help you get familiarized, I'd love to help you guys. I live just outside LA, Ventura County, and all I would want in return is a thumbscrew T-shirt :P haha. Anyway, have fun with the new gear and the fun new effects. Can't wait to see you use it on the next Awesome Hardware. Keep up the great work guys. I'm gonna build my own computer for music production soon because of your channels.

I have this yamaha console and I freaking love it. I record many songs on it and they sound super professional. It's the main hub in my studio.

Love these types of videos! Please do more of them as you get new stuff. Wouldn’t of minded an extra 5 minutes, or even more, of you playing around with it. Pure hardware videos can get stale after awhile, these always break them up enough to keep things really interesting.

The behind the scene type of hardware that allow for all the magic to happen always seem really interesting. It’s like Linus’s fascination with servers. Am I ever going to have full server rack full of high-end commercial hardware that I could store and edit hundreds of hours of 8K video on? No. Do I absolutely love watching his videos on them?

Fantastic Paul. Sounding off on a good note.

I live right down the road from Sweetwater HQ. I bought this a few weeks ago from them and the staff is fantastic and very helpful.

[Thecollectivegathering]

I purchased one myself and do not regret it for my streams. It is just awesome.

[SlotsNStuff]

Sounds clean, better than previous sound. What was to total upgrade cost?

[AJaytheCEO]

are you only recording the audio externally? are you using the usb input at all?

[adrianwarner]

Most people would go into deep technical details, Paul just dives straight into the surreal. Excellent.

[InconsistentManner]

It is a "Locking DIN" not a BNC Paul

This may be my favorite Paul's Hardware video ever

[bygphillywilly]

hey kyle thank u for supporting my local sound company!!!!

[PedroCostaLopes]

If you ever read this, Paul, one of the things I liked most in this episode is that you don't "pretend" to know a lot about audio - and yet, you seem to know more then some of the experts out there...

[collinadler]

Professional audio guy here. Good choice for the money. Good on you for caring about your audio... not many people do on the youtubes. Keep up the great work!

Hi, what's that grey thing with black knobs next to the keybord at 4:03 ?

[doveshouse]

I love how you are socially aware enough to not want to "feed the Amazon beast". Very well put and I feel the same way

[igors_lv]

New setup sounds softer and closer.. its nice

[JsGarage]

I like to hear myself in the headset as long as it is real time no delay. This allows you to speak accordingly and know what you are delivering.

[hothatchpa]

One more thing.. I am not sure exactly how informational this is but you guys are VERY entertaining.
Absolutely like kids with a new toy.

Great little mix board for your application. Soon as I saw what you got I was like, "oh he must have gotten that for the compressors lol
