I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I'm still confused....Very confused...Well, not THAt confused, but I hear people talking about parallel compression and mixing 'percentages' of signal together. My question is...Aside from judging by volume, how the hell do you gauge percentages and why is this a common way to explain mixing things?
I'm confused as all hell about how to apply parallel compression to things and get certain results, and then to get it to actually sound good.
Any tips anyone might be able to share? Let's say for some close mics on a drum kit, or (I'm more interested in this) distorted rhythm guitars. What are some common things you do, some sounds you go for with parallel compression?
Thanks you in advance.
