that was a good watch

its a shame he didnt go into any great technical detail.

i was particularly interested in the layering of multiple compressors, i know quite a few producers do this but still cant get my head round it

does anyone know any common techniques for layering compressors?

I wouldn't even know where to start with that ...

use something like a plugin chain in soundforge? or simply put them back to back on your master in Ableton or something? I don't know...

but I guess what he meant actually is the side-compression.
that is achievable with mix sends-returns...
you put one compressor with normal settings on your master and a compressor with drastic compression to your send 1...than you send ammount X of your master to your send, which is returning the drastically compressed signal...that gives a bit of that extra ooomph...if you get what I mean
oh btw...carefull...this should be done only up to about 5%

maybe someone else could explain this trick a little better

Thank you!

i liked the idea of using a super over comped layer underneath a uncompressed layer. to get the best of both worlds.


i dont know what is not to understand with regards to layering compressors so you get a collaberative compression effect. just set each different comp to a different parameter and adjust the ratio/thresholds accordingly.

sounds so but Im not sure myself so I cant confirm anything. I assume they are connected in a serial manner?

I believe this technique is called Parallel Compression? Many compressors have this built in, such as Fabfilter Pro C. Essentially there is a wet/dry mix, so you could do dramatic compression and just scale back the wet/dry mix.

exactly parallel or side-compression that's called yeah
