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).

it works well for the mid range of your bass

good for vocals too.

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

'parallel compression'

i like to use parametric compression when x=a cos(t) y=a sin(t)

Win thread.

Interesting. Am working with come vocals current and might try this out, never thought of using parallel comp on this way

it´s a known fact that paradigm compression is the only way to go..use that for your padz, too

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...

off topic but damn gravity man that track in yo sig is fucking awesome!
