Hello guys!
I'm learning to mix my own metal songs for some time (currently working in Cubase Elements 7). But still there's a problem I haven't solved yet. So I'd like to hear some advice on this.
I'll loose some irrelevent details and I'll try to describe my question in general.
Let's say, I've got 2 rhythm guitar tracks panned left and right all the way. Both of them go to BUS track on which I have a compressor.
There are some parts in the song where the left guitar plays continually and the right one is just hitting some fast and short chords and stops from time to time. And those are the parts I talk about next.
Well the problem is that compressor works fine until one of the guitars stops. In those moments it's raising up the volume trying to match the settings (which is logically right). But what I get in a result is a bouncing volume everytime one of the guitars stops playing. So my question is how do you avoid it? I mean how to tell compressor to work with general volume and don't let it to make one of the channel all the way up while the other channel is silent?
