What all do you guys compress?

Shit goes pretty deep for a thread with an unreadable title.

How's it unreadable?

[skins345669]

I used to know what those lines meant

RIP chemistry knowledge

they mean bonds m8

But they're special bonds that are shared electrons among the ring or something? Like a benzene

it's to show that some are coming towards you and some further away, so the atoms are equally arranged in space around the central one, rather than in a single plane

science.

It doesn't make sense to me that's all. Should have figured the error was on my part

I didn't mean to come off as snooty or anything

Superfluous 'all', how very American.

Ah yes thats it

God no visions of chemistry set peices strewn across a 2x2 foot desk in a packed full, 100 year old classroom

Can you say the same thing AxeD?

[bouncingfish]

I don't ever use compression except on my master. If I want my kick louder I just turn everything else down, etc. idk I just never found it super necessary on anything but my master to make it loud.

This!
If I want to control the attack/decay I use envelopers and transient shapers, and I don't need compression on my synths because they're already constantly on the same volume. (The only exception would be neuro resampling and shit for stabilizing stuff with lots of automation).
But usually I do not use compression on channels at all. Thought I was the only one.

[nowaysj]

Depends on your synth dude, shit can get out of hand. But that is the point, to recognize when something is happening, then picking the right tool to address it. I rarely compress individual elements, unless I'm going for special fx. Whatever, I think we're beating a dead horse.

At least someone is in production, saying something.

[bouncingfish]

Haha yeah.

[Gurnumsbug]

Is it always a good idea to conpress the master a little?
Cause I don't compress shit.. Usually just the bass so it ducts under the drums a bit..

[zosomagik]

I've seen people do that. I wouldn't say it's ALWAYS a good idea to do that. All your doing is reducing the dynamic range, so if you have like a heavy tune and it needs some more meat I'd say got for it and give it the illusion of being even bigger. But I wouldn't do it something like a more chilled out track with lots of percussion where I want a lot of dynamic range. Also, it's worth noting that I'm no pro, and for the most part I don't know shit about shit.
