Electric Bass
See how the two compressors each work on sampled electric bass. The quick attack and release times on the Black 76 can yield some distortion that, if used judiciously, can add some sonically interesting dirt and grit to the bass sound. The White compressor's slower and smoother attack and release adds body without distortion to the sound.

Electric Guitar
Watch as different compression is applied to both rhythm and lead parts. The quick attack of the Black 76 that doesn't work well on the rhythm, brings out a nice percussive quality to the lead.

Drums
Watch as the two compressors are applied, with various settings, on the various elements of a multi-tracked drum kit.

Vocals
The Black and white both have their places on either lead vocals or group vocals. Here we'll combine the two in order to maximize the benefits each can contribute to creating a solid overall vocal blend.

Final Mix
The smoother attack and release characteristics of the White make it useful for smooth mix bus processing. Lowering the level arriving at the mix bus allows you to use the color of its sound without over compressing.

I bought the course years ago but only had the time to check it out in full now. A straightforward enough explanation of the two compressors / limiters, but I would not have minded a slightly more in depth analysis of some features. I'm unsure of the degree to which these plugs add harmonics and bring in some changes in a sound's frequency signature. This can matter a lot when using a lot of these compressors in a mix, but what are the effects and how should I use them best to my advantage? I'd also have appreciated a short note on what uses M/S can be, e.g. on a full mix. I very much like hearing the examples, and this is really what makes the video helpful. I would have liked to listen to the examples at a slightly higher volume setting, but then Eli's voice started booming in my room - perhaps the volume level of the examples could be adjusted with a bit more gain so I don't have to keep adjusting it here just to be able to really hear the examples?
