*insert clever title here
was playing around, mixing some tracks earlier and came across something a little strange. just to see what it would sound like, I copied a guitar track and compressed the crap out of it, then brought it in slowly behind the original, uncompressed track. the louder I brought it up, the more 'distorted' the whole thing sounded. not distorted like a guitar and pedal, just....funny...in a bad way.
I thought this was the general idea behind parallel compression?! if that is NOT correct, please enlighten me, and if I'm on the right path, what can I do to maintain the integrity of the track. are there some EQ tricks that I don't know about?
also, anyone know WHY it does this?
