Logic Pro X Compressor Types

Fully explained here

Personally I tend to use:
  • Platinum for ducking as it's pretty neutral in terms of sound
  • Studio VCA (= Focusrite Red) on guitars for its brightness
  • Classic VCA (= dbx 160) across the drums due to its fast attack
  • Vintage FET (= 1176) on vocals, seems to add a slight, pleasant colouring
  • Vintage Opto (= LA-2A) on bass, just seems to work best
