Compressor mode for Mixbus compression - mrskytown11 - 12-10-2019 Does anyone use the compressor mode for glue compression on Mixbuses, I saw the Harrison YouTube video on compression in Mixbus and it was saying it can be used as a glue compression for mixes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Compressor mode for Mixbus compression - Tassy - 12-10-2019 On the master a brickwall is necessary to prevent (occasional) clipping and setting the ceiling. intersample clipping is advisable to be prevented, too Compressor for "gluing" is a question what you mean "gluing". some say glue with reverb. No rule! I suggest you try such pieces of advice, and decide yourself whether it helped or not. Only one rule exists: "If it sounds good, it is good!" Naturally if not, it is not If you want to try I suggest to play with the leveller mode for some occasional 1-2 leds showing up The built in limiter as I remember has -1dB ceiling that in most cases takes care of the intersample thing, too Tassy Compressor mode for Mixbus compression - mrskytown11 - 12-10-2019 Thanks I’ll look into it, it’s true whatever sounds good is best Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Compressor mode for Mixbus compression - mrskytown11 - 12-12-2019 Would up compression work to ride parts of the vocals that get too quiet even after compression. In thinking if I set a low ratio upwards compression, to keep the performance steady, I can upward compress anything that falls slightly below the overal threshold of the vocal performance. Other then that there’s automation that can be done but just wondering Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Compressor mode for Mixbus compression - Tassy - 12-12-2019 I prefer doing clipgain editing for higher volume change correction and not to leave this job for compressors instead of doing it myself. RE: Compressor mode for Mixbus compression - loderunner - 12-13-2019 My quick and easy Go-to "Glue Compressor" Is the XT-LC on the Masterbus, right before the Limiter. I start with a ratio of around 1.5 and the threshold adjusted so it never attenuates more than 3db. |
