Your mom is a compressor

It's a pretty good video tho.

Great video; thanks for sharing. I'm pretty new to bass (and old to guitar) and have been looking at compressors. So far I've just been playing around with plug-ins (some of which he mentioned) and tbh I have no idea what I'm doing with compression yet.

I'm looking for my initial attack to pop, enhancing ghost notes and such. Any thoughts?

Slower attack lets more of the initial note through before the compressor clamps down, and fast release gets the compressor out of the way for the next note.

On the Cali76 CB, it's exactly as shown on the video thumbnail: the att/rel knob fully clockwise is slowest attack, fastest release.

This actually explains why I hated compression so much during my bass playing adolescence.

I have a GT1000, should I go higher or lower on the "Attack" setting?

Attack is a time delay knob. You turn it up to push the compression off of the transient. The lower the setting, the shorter the attack, and the more the transient gets compressed. Sounds like you want to use it at lower settings.

This is a war and every level control is a weapon.

He wanted the transient to pop. A slower attack will mean the full make up gain will be applied to the transient, making it louder. Compressing it will make it quieter.
