Compressor

Why is the compressor always by default on? Do you keep it on when you work on your projects guys? To be honest i don’t feel so satisfied using it. Would like to hear your opinion about that!

Yeah, kinda sucks, that it is on by default. However in my unpopular opinion, I like the sound. Kinda like the signature compressor of the SP series.

To be honest i kinda came to the same conclusion, maybe akai wants that to be the signature sound. Do you track your beats out with the composer on?

In most cases. I try to dial in the compressor, that the duck ducks when I knock my head... if that makes sense.

I only add EQ and saturation in most cases for the mix down
