Is this reverse compression any good? Can someone post an example of it in action?

Use noise generators.

Use extreme distortion settings before BP filtering.

For melody lines, try making a "question" and an "answer".

bandpass filters are great. try distortion>bandpass>more distortion

notch filters are great too.

Comb filter > Notch filter at around 250Hz combo is king!

seriously though on a site explaining reverse compression, the guy went into "sidechained reverb"?

basically take a source e.g snare send to a reverb bus, then add a compressor after the reverb with the sidechain input coming from the snare (or anything else you want)

you get a really clean/dry sound when the sound is played but then you get the reverb creep up in the tail to fill out the space a bit. Thought it was quite cool
This is some damn cool advice

There is a good tutorial on you tube by "the sound tutor" who goes into "question and answer" riffs and melody's.


And when i mentioned reverse compression I wasn't talking about expanders or maximisers. I didn't mean reverse the effect of compression.

As someone else posted i meant compress your loop (drums,synth,vocals, Fx) bounce, then reverse it then re-compress it. bounce and put it back in forward. it makes everything smooth and creamy :D

The best description I have heard is from a mixing engineer who said using reverse compression is like mixing with peanut butter!! :lol:
