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 :) |

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. |

| I've wondered about this technique. |

| BOOsTER |
| so...was I right? :conf: |

| music2dance2 |
| sounds so but Im not sure myself so I cant confirm anything. I assume they are connected in a serial manner? |

cool vid... anyone know the tracklist they used for the vid... or at least the same song that kept repeating.... unless it was all just 1 song. :) |
I think most, if not all, of the tunes are from his last album, A cheerful temper

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. :)
I love what he says about presets at the end, I'm constantly yelling at some friends of mine for using presets. lol |

| 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 :) |
