I noticed that the video used both the 4K S-Type bus and channel  compressors. Is there any particular reason for these particular selections for these particular examples? The controls on the two compressors are different. One has an Attack knob allowing continuous adjustment and the other a Fast/Slow toggle and the Bus versions has a Mix control that isn't used in the example. But to me it looks like either compressor might work in either example and the selection was arbitrary. Am I missing something?

Hi jack, Viewing this video was just suggested to me over in the songs forum.

                          the 4ks type gives ya the side chain option.

                      a compressor needs to give one the option of sidechain.the main thing to adjust is threshold.jack c.             thanks bill
