Im'struggling with the understanding of this compressor.
No matter about threshold and ratio, I always end up with a HUGE superfast transient before my kick or snare.
After gain matching with make-up gain to get same perceived loudness, my peak is like 4-5 dB higher.
How do u manage this...
I'm trying to get an efficient routing to level match/sound comparing between my drums bus and my drums+parallel compressed drums.
The whole point is to quickly switch between the two "status" without being fooled by level increased since summing of dry/wet busses. Any idea? :)
Which are your fav tecniques to chieve a nice snare body sustain? Fast attack compression? Saturation? Dyn EQ? Clipping? Short reverb blended in? Combining all above in which way?
I noticed aiming for a good loudness (-9 LUFS) I'm always stuggling with drums transients.
I end up with something like 5 or 6 dB of gain reduction on snare hits; lowering snare track with fader or using saturation (tape or soft clipping) "helps", but doesn't solve the problem (since everybody...
Hi, everybody.
My apologies if it sounds dumb, but I don't get something about gain staging properly using compressors.
Let's say I've a snare drum peaking around -6dBFS.
According to tutorials, my goal is to keep most of the attack "smack" using a slow attack (fast release) while getting...
