im puzzled, this guy is good and made a name for himself and is as sounds a respected producer , but he has preferences as in a modified dinosaur BBC mixer and a reverb generator as big as a fridge but it works and his mastering is spot on
but......
he starts ripping into presets and shows his displeasure at them , as so do all of you . but as in his oldage equipment , does it matter if your good, catchy popular song uses a preset that can only be disected by an experienced producer and not by your customers?
Obviously if it is a pure preset and your tune sounds like anothers i can agree, but i could be snotty and slate him for using stuff that dj flintstone and MC barny would of used but i wont because he uses it to perfection.

You're right but nowadays nobody uses MC flintstone gear so that's why it makes it so special.

yes that is right. the numbers i gave for attack time and ratios were just an example. although i wouldn't go with higher ratio numbers. ive tried it with ratios of like 2 3 and 4 to one in series before. remember, if it sounds good, then its right. so there is no right or wrong way to do this stuff, just whatever sounds good.
