parrell compression on other things apart form the drums?

Post by darigan » Fri Mar 05, 2010 3:39 pm

Just wondering does anybody use parrell compression for other things apart form the drums?, or maybe not even compression but a another auxiliary playing out some kind of distorted version of the unprocessed sound that is also playing out.

I was thinking about trying it with lead lines next time I get a chance

It works with whatever sounds good to you.

No rules involved.

I like to parallel compress bandpassed distorted basslines (midrange cack).

yeah excellent on certain vocals.

i'll draw for parallel comp if i have source material that's got really exciting moments that are really high and low in volume, and i want to increase the consistency but not change their relationship. parallel comp and some limiting afterwards can make for a really nice balance.

In my experience I've found it useful on: -

Guitar (acoustic)
Electric Guitar
Drums
Bass Guitar
Synth's
Vocals
Entire Mixes
Sub Groups

I've also found that it is sometimes useless on the following:-

Guitar (acoustic)
Electric Guitar
Drums
Bass Guitar
Synth's
Vocals
Entire Mixes
Sub Groups

Yeah get creative man, sometimes i add an axillary with distortion, and automate certain sends to it when making a track, like for rises and breakdowns etc...
