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

just try it out. i would say it is more some thing to use when all eles fails.

Use noise generators.

Use extreme distortion settings before BP filtering.

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

good ones

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

notch filters are great too.

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

nice one

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

vague term for saying write a lines that respond to each others in diff sounds or synths
good example

or most of spawn soundtrack
more live band question and producers using synth line as answer, but should help

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

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