On the topic of reaper, does anyone have sort of a "nice starting point" for compressing (using the VST reacomp) a final mix for mastering a typical metal song where I want it to be nice and loud and squashed? (I know, most people hate squashing since it kills many of the dynamics, but I'm working on a "modern" project and want it to fit with the times)
I know one setting won't work for all situations, but there's so many tweakable parameters, I don't even know where to start. I don't think there's presets you can go through for mastering, so I thought I'd see if there's a good starting point. Then if it's breathing or whatnot, I can lower one paramater at a time to fix whatever issue is weird.
