Compressing long wave files (loops)

Can you compress longer wave files (e.g. you have your whole melody in a pre-recorded long wave file) with the same result as when you compress your melody tracks in a normal way (with single notes, every single note being compressed then)?
For me it sounds quite impossible that it would give the same result. Isn't it logical that only the beginning of the long wave file would get that "punchy" feeling you normally would like every note to get when you compress? |

ermmmm
compression is not a midi effect but an audio effect thus giving exactly the same result in the example you gave. The compressor does not see things like a note or a few notes it works with audio signals, compressing signals that go above the treshold. Some logical thinking can do wonders now and then. |

| Thank you, now I got rid of yet another problematic question. And yes, now that you say it it's logical, also to me, when thinking of it as a tool working around the peak of a sound signal. But no way I would have figured it out earlier without your clue, I had been thinking about this for quite a while. Perhaps that's because my logical thinking never extended to engineering- and physics-based areas like audio, as this is only one among dozens of hobbies for me and thus getting very little time, whereas most of my time is spent reading law books as a profession... ;) |
