Dear Jim,

Cool sound.

Why do you like the Opto version of that compressor?
Jim Stout Jul 19 2010

It’s just a personal preference. I just like the way it sounds, no other real reason.
Logic has some great sounding effects, try some other ones and experiment with different types on different materials and see what you like best.
Thanks for the kind words. :-)

I was wondering if you do all of your work in logic? Its seems weird considering the fact that Pro tools and Fairlight have better functionality for sound design and post production. Good video though.
