Delayed Compression

| Is it possible to delay the attack of a compressor? I am looking to do a multi-stage compression of my epic dance lead. The note is three 1/16th notes long, and I have one compressor acting immediately after the attack. However, I want a second compressor to bring down the volume even more after the equivalent of two 1/16th notes - so it creates almost a release feel. Are there any compressors with a DADSR envelope? Or is there a way to delay the action of a normal vst compressor plugin. Thanks for helping me on my journey to creating big club. Much Love. -SS |

| Why don't you you set the velocity of the notes being played and alap a limiter on? Will give pump, yet retain the lowered volume of the softer notes. |

| You could use the Volume Env of the synth... |

| Or just create a copy of the original audio, move it back 2/16ths and feed that as a sidechain input on a compressor acting on the original audio? |

| automate release or volume envelope as said that would be better and more effective. |

Once every month or two, we get a car in our shop that has had excessive performance modifications that haven't been implemented correctly. 90% of the time, there isn't a whole lot we can do - particularly after the engine has been run with the new mods. 100% of the time, it's amateur automotive enthusiasts who are trying to ramp up their horse-power on the only car they have to get to and from work with. The problem isn't that the engine shouldn't or couldn't be modified but that these weekend warrior mechanics haven't done their homework for making the modifications, in the first place.
Many times they're making enhancements to engines that have already seen extended duty cycles. They install racing cams without testing for excessive play in the timing chain or inspecting the tips of their valve stems for mushrooming. They put in performance coils that are over-powered for the stock ignition system. They install Nitrous packages without doing cranking compression tests that would reveal the necessity to completely overhaul the engine they're about to increase a performance load on. While costly, in terms of time and labor, that engine overhaul would have saved the customer more money and delivered the results he was looking for. If he still wanted more power, after that, he'd at least be building on a solid foundation opposing a cracked engine block with a fouled PCV valve.
When I hire a new mechanic, I like to make sure he's well rounded, and part of being well-rounded is having your basics down. If more weekend tinkerers would take the time to get to know the field of automotive technology and familiarize themselves with many of the routine tests we run for repair jobs, on a daily basis, many of the situations I've described above could be avoided. I always wonder about how some customers wait to see us about a problem until after the car has traveled several hundred miles on it. Here we have a situation that, if the customer had come to see us before they made the problem, a lot of hassle and frustration could have been avoided. It's such a shame that people tend to regard a visit to their mechanic's like a trip to the dentist but fortunate that most people leave professional level mouth-care, to the professionals.
If only they would do that for their cars! |

It's an excerpt from my forthcoming book, Music Production and the Art of 4 Stroke, Internal Combustion Engine Repair. |
