I smell home cookin!
O.k., here' something I've done off and on, and I wonder if this is WRONG according to the book or not.
I will record vocals, guitars, and bass on each track separately, and I'll use a compressor for each as the take is going down. Light compression actually.
Then, when I mix, I will compress some of these tracks again. Usually vocals and bass. I will use a ratio of about 2:1 on the take, and then another 2:1 ratio on the mix down. In each case, I will set the threshhold so that not all the sounds are compressed, maybe 75%.
I think this helps even out things, without the compression sounding obvious.
Am I breaking a rule here?
