Re: Compression




Yes. That is almost the difference between a cardboard box and an actual instrument. Also all the cool effects are done playing with those, especially the release time.


An easy one to learn is using a compressor at a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio to tighten up a bass guitar (which will make it dull) and then backing off the attack time until it livens back up.


Another good example is John Chiara's snare drum setting. Hopefully some more of you will share some favorite settings for people to experiment with.
