    People sleep on how much depth you can achieve with compression, today for the first time it hit me, I was mixing a track and I noticed that when I would compress the track it fell back into the mix !

      Exactly!!! Compression has so many use cases people aren’t talking about. Love that you’ve discovered this!

      @@TheSwollenOne I think knowing when enough is enough. You ever do a mix, then come back to it and mess it up.. lol.. Cause you watched a tutorial and what they do with vocals I can't do cause their vocals sometimes pretty much already sound good.. How to know when a vocal is right, not too thin or not too boomy.. you know.. I hope I explained that properly.. lol

      Referencing music that's already out helps me a lot with this. So if I'm going in a different direction, I know how far I'm going based on what the baseline for great is! I have a mix reference playlist I use for that.

    I swear...I got roasted on a FB group for using volume automation. It just makes more sense to do it this way. They kept saying could've used Vocal Rider. I just prefer more control over my dynamics. Folks don't wanna do the work.

    This is top tier bro ,great stuff , i’ve noticed that compression can line up the transients , create groove ,it can set the position of each track or group of tracks in the mix in a separation type a way ,creating dimension ,it can make certain elements groove better with each other,(e.g, using the same attack and release time on drums ,and then different times for Bass and so on.

    • @TheSwollenOne
      @TheSwollenOne  23 дня назад

      Might have to do it in sections 😅. Like do the hook and go to something else. For me all of this is like a mediative and creative state I go in so while I can understand that I experience it differently.
