In which I explain why the video title is a myth, why you should leave some headroom anyway, and how best to achieve that.

$That Elusive Console Magic In which I pontificate on the possible real sources of the analogue console magic, while sharing some pictures of nice analogue desks. (snapped on my phone, don’t expect pro quality). Hey, I’m allowed a low effort video from time to time, no? buy me a coffee :) https://ko-fi.com/danworrall If you like this type of content and you want to see it more often, consider signing up for Channel Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQnz5mUTDkGwKvIQ9uyqiXw/join Video edited with VEGAS Pro 17: {affiliate link) https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-pro/?_oB=vegas-pro&AffiliateID=55&phash=FL4Wje1syXqv4BCf&utm_source=MAGIX-PAP&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Affiliate_MAGIX-PAP&a_aid=5d88ecf7a6736$ $Not All Men In which I have a little man to man talk with the good guys... because I can be pretty certain Im talking mostly to men on this channel. I guess I should link to the White Sea Studios video: https://youtu.be/GXi282EqYSA Also, one of the guys I clipped in this video has taken down his review and posted an apology in its place, and I feel kind of bad now for picking on him... https://youtu.be/kXH-bVkufD4 Several people have mentioned this Benn Jordan video, which I hadnt seen before. Its very good, and very relevant: https://youtu.be/2Ipb81z46kI FYI: Im leaving most comments up, regardless of whether I agree with them, but if youre just trolling youll get the boot.

$Guys Why So Angry? (LCR again) Some people just cant handle the truth!

I answer the question in the first minute. But stick around for the more interesting question, why do we still bother with it? Once again, a method used to solve a technical problem with analogue recording has survived as a creative option in our modern DAW mixing environments. The star of the show is U-He Satin, with its very useful companding features, but the principle can be used with other non linear plugins as well.

$Sympathy For The Devil (Linear Phase for Crossovers and Oversampling) In which I clarify the seeming contradiction in my last video, and explain why I typically go with linear phase crossovers and oversampling filters, despite the diabolical ringing.
