In this Behringer X32 Effects Tutorial, I walk through the Ultimo Compressor on vocals and bass guitar. The Ultimo Compressor is an emulation of the classic 1176 limiting compressor and is one of my favorite compressors to use on vocals. Whether you're new to audio mixing or looking to refine your skills, this tutorial covers everything you need to know about getting the most out of this powerful compressor.
