Sound engineer tech based in London. Started a career very young doing Live sound on the road, touring with bands as FoH or stage tech, later progressed with studies in Cinema and later on Sound Engineering and Recording Arts.

Currently, managing studios in an educational institute pays the bills, but all the spare time is spent watching movies, recording bands, editing in ProTools or with the head stuck in a videogame.

comment Should I ever use a bit depth less than 24 bits?
some DAW do allow you to do mix format sessions. Some do not. Processing at 16bit is generally a bad idea for some of the reasons explained on top. You also have the fact that some plug-in manufacturers would also be making their plugins with 32, 48 or even 64 bit internally for greater headroom.

comment Expand Track Playlist from D-Command
when you say expand, you mean track height? or track view? will be on an icon soon there is a section (right above your keyboard) with a soft-key to access playlist section. I'll give you a more specific answer when I'm there.

comment How can I qualify differences between compressors?
since it's reaction is slower, it can help you avoiding pumping and breathing or that awful "crushing" artifact.

comment How can I qualify differences between compressors?
you could probably get away with a bit more on optical based compressors than you can with VCA or FET. It is definitely "lazier" and not in the attack/release setting way - it's own reaction is slower - but it won't help you in more extreme settings (imo).
