The pre fader tip was gold. Top class education.
I rarely leave comments but wow, what a detailed yet simple explanation of parallel compression. I have been wanting to incorporate it into my own mixes bit it seemed a bit daunting. I feel super confident about apply to my own workflow now. Thank you, Dom. You're the best.
Thankyou Dom, I would not have understood 'Parallel compression' without this tutorial.
One of my favorites videos ! Thanks Dom!!
Amazing tutorial Dom! Will definitely try this out!
Quality tips, Dom! Solid presentation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Great Dom. Perfectly and clearly explained. Thanks a lot.
Incredibly useful - parallel compression's what I've been missing! Thank you!
Hey Dom.. Im so glad I started following your channel. I cant put it in words how you have made Cubase so easy for millions of people out there .. great work.. and thanks a ton😊😊
Thank you Dom, that's a very cool technique. I will use it in my current mix. Until now I didn't think of using automation on the parallel channel and on top of that to combine everything again in a group channel with a finishing compressor. Very cool! :)
You have me opening up and checking mixes I long finished just to see if they could use this. Your tutorials are valuable beyond words.
For many years I've been using similar techniques on my Cubase mixes, but this video really nails it. Dom, this tutorial is brilliant and really helps explaining step by step how to use compression wisely :)
Thanks Dom this is what I've been looking for in my vocal mix.
Great tutorial! Thanks Dom 😁
Thanks Dom this is a really helpful tip for my recorded vocal!
I never stop learning from you Dom 🧡 Awesome
Wow that's amazing 👏🏿 thanks again Dom!

Beautiful Video Thank You Dom.
Yaa!! You're amazing lots of love from india ❤️
Thanks Dom 👍
Awesome vid as usual!
Great in its simplicity!
A great explanation of parallel compression. I just started to experiment with it this week on drums. I'm guessing I should be using the send as a pre send as well? Thanks Dom!
I did this on some of my tracks I engineered while ago and I never used parallel compression and a friend of mine who is a producer told me about that type of compression and man let me tell ya!!!!! This is golden!
Such a beautiful vocal!
Fantastic video Dom. Thanks
So simple but so effective 👍
APPRECIATE YOU!🙏❤
Excellent. Thanks Dom. Just Excellent

Thanks so much!
Super :-) will defo try this
Thanks so much
Eine sehr sehr gute Sache ...Top
Thank you.
Thank you
Amazinggggg
Dome! You are our GURU!
Hi Dom. Steinberg Vintage Compressor and Tube Compressors...just the best. Who needs external plug ins or racks when you have these two fantastic pieces of kit already included in Cubase? Great video too. Cheers.
Thank you for this video. Great. Can you tell me, which delay you have used?
Automation and excitation on the parallel compression FX channel...who knew?! Simple genius! 🤜💥🤛
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no comment segala the best ever.
thank you
this is the answer to the question on the much later video on the paralel compression guide
I am coming back to all your videos, just as if it was a course, and I hope I have not thanked you before or I will look like spamming the videos. To be safe though, thank you "file mou", you are the Alpha & Omega of Cubase.
GREAT
Hi Dom, very interesting but maybe I’m missing a passage: how many compressors are you usin’ at the end in the send channel? I see the tube one in the insert channel but in the send it seems you have three faders opened… 🤔 Thank you for answering, if you can…
A/B comparison is required to check whether the contribution from the parallel compression is really helping the mix rather than just adding level. How to do it?
very interesting! I already had a hard comp FX channel but I could make the vocals sound much clearer with vintagecomp and datube :)
great stuff, where is the full version of this song?
Aweomae videos buddy!
How do you use your streamdeck? Together with Soundflow?
thanks
Hey Dom, how do we stop the vocal from sounding phased/duplicated/layered? Am I doing something wrong?
Hello Dom, just a short one please; what device do you use for your automation and how do you set it up please
Greeat !!
Obviously Dom is trying to make from us World level professionalists. Great dude.
well no comments!!!! master !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Dom, What would be the difference beween using send in Pre fader VS Direct routing Summing Mode ?
"sweeet"!😎🎶
Great Video, Regards. I have a question - If I want to send a group channel to four different channels in parralel, I mean the single group channel's signal will pass through four different channels at a time which I mean Parralel. Thank you.
Is there a way to setup side chain compression in a way that it ducks only the frequencies which collide with the frequencies in the control signal?
Great video! It really isn't that important, but the word "out" is missing in the title. You sort of get obsessed with details in this line of work. Looking forward to more instructional content. Thanks!
Hi Dom i have a question with the final compressor you added to he vocal group. i noticed it was still in the dry position as you was moving the threshold, should it be in the mix position or did you leave it in dry for a reason?
thanks great tutorial Dom and steinberg.
for the send FX,s (reverb,delay etc) would be prefered to have them on the "all vox" group channel sends or on the "dry" vox channel ?
My question too
@@bondpeace for me i would have the send FX on the Group Channel, so if i change or automate the volume level as a sum from the group channel the Send fx stay in relative balance to the dry audio.'
and also all tracks routed to it (the parallel the dry etc) will get the same send FX level
Does release time matter in parallel comprehension for vocals? I've seen others say to set it to the longest time possible. But the more I think about it, it seems the outcome would be identical with short and fast release times.
A bit confused here. I set it up like Dom with FX channel and Pre-fader, I see the amount of gain reduction changes with the send level. I thought the compression on the FX channel would stay constant (per vox channel level) and the send level would just be another kind of wet-dry control. When I reduce the send level, the gain reduction on the compressor goes down with with. Am I misunderstanding?
I use baby audio heart NY great plugin .
Hi, could you help me here? I like your stuff. When I import an Audio-File (MP3) into Cubase it changes it automatically in "mono" at least it really sounds like mono, but with 2 tracks, do you know this problem.
Automating pararell channel, this make sense...
