Compressor shoot-out notes The talking ends and playing begins at 1:20 for those of you who want to hear the compressors right away. All of the units are connected with George Ls cables. The output of the Loop-Master is routed through the Rat (which is switched off some of the time) and then to the THD BiValve. Ive tried to make the audio quality of this video good enough so that you can hear the noisiness and frequency response of these these compressors. To that end, the audio was recorded with an Olympus LS-10 recorder, and then synced with the video in iMovie. Sorry about the airplane noise at the end, but I didnt have time to re-shoot as the supercomp was on loan and had to be returned. There are no loud sounds after 3:40 in the video so that you can turn up your monitor speakers and really hear the audio without getting blasted. The narration being mixed very low is done intentionally so that you can hear the different noise levels of the compressors. My impressions of the different compressors were: Strymon: Very high quality, and by far the least noisy. The processed sound of this compressor is the most similar to the original input signal, only louder and more controlled. You can notice at the end of the video that even when the output knob is maxed, the noise does not increase. If you want a compressor the you can leave on all of the time, this is the one. The boost feature is nice and useful, especially before the distortion pedal. BYOC 5 Knob Comp: This ...

Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy
Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy Tube. Duration : 4.92 Mins.
Rage Against the Machine Studio album by Rage Against the Machine Released November 3, 1992 Recorded May -- September 1992 Genre Alternative metal Funk metal Rapcore Length 52:56 Label Epic Records Tom Morello's guitar soloing is somewhat traditional on this album, taking influence more from heavy metal music, in comparison to later releases where it is more experimental and geared toward emulation of DJs and hip hop. The album is known for its high production values, which are almost to the strictest audiophile standards. Some audiophile sites and magazines even go as far as using the album — in particular the song "Take the Power Back" — to test amplifiers and speakers. In 2001 Q magazine named Rage Against the Machine as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time. Artwork and sleeve notes The cover artwork features a famous photo of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, burning himself to death in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô Đình Diệm's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion. The statement "no samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this record" can be found at the end of the sleeve notes, and similar statements were made in the band's subsequent albums. The band also refer to themselves as "Guilty Parties" for each album. Track History: It features Maynard James Keenan on vocals during the bridge section. Lyrics: Born with insight and a raised fist A witness to the slit wrist As we move into '92 Still in a ...
