Producer / Owner Doug McBride, of Gravity Studios in Chicago, walks us through the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor. While labeled as a "mastering" compressor, Doug likes to use this high-end piece of hardware on a variety of applications. Whether using it to beef up a guitar or to distort a vocal during the tracking process, Doug finds that the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor can be used in pretty much any compression situation you might encounter.
