ok i have a question about buss compression. should i use it or should i let the mastering engineer compress the mix? i know once the compression is on it cant be taken away. i do want the mastering engineer to do a good. however when we recorded the songs from the board directly to alesis masterlink i asked the engineer (his name is jason) about the buss compression. his reply was "i often use it and i didnt know if you could tell or not". it didnt sound "squashed". in fact it sounded GOOD. however i dont want our mistakes (he and myself) coming back to haunt me later on.
so should i use the compression or bypass it?
just so you know the music was recorded in pro tools but mixed on an ssl4000 E. we will dump the tracks to half inch tape at 15 ips on thursday. after that i will have it mastered here:
