    Have you ever used Parallel Compression? What else do you like to do when mixing? Let me know below!

      I like to use Logic's 'vintage VCA' (with moderate ratio) and 'Opto' (with high ratio) in parallel on vocals, plus some unaltered original track added.

      I do parallel everything. Not quite everything but it's just so easy to work with stuff if one uses a track with dressing on it next to the clean track. But delays and reverbs and 'squash' type compression is so easy to control if it sits beside the clean track. In the 80s we were doing this 'when' we had enough channels to accommodate. Live stuff or garage recording back then, I remember the boards seemed to be either 16 track or 24 tracks. With live drums one would run out of channels on a 16 track and have to use the boards internal effect routing but with the 24s there always seemed to be one or 2 channels left over and it was such a luxury.

      Drums, vocals, bass. Love to give some harmonic distortion and compression and bring that bus under the original to help it sit better as well as cut through and add some energy. A little goes along way. Drums especially benefit from some crushed parallel compression. Really gives them some punch and spank.

    • @DanUpdegraff

      Sometimes I make my own "exciter" via a parallel compression track that has an EQ at the front cutting all the lows out (keeping ~5khz and above).

    Parallel compression is something I learned at Full Sail University and have been using ever since. I love how you can make a track be completely different from the original by adding information to it, like harmonics from saturation, then blend it together with the original track for enhanced sound.

Perhaps a Dangerous Liason might be a big help. Thanks!

    Marc showed us how he uses reverb in a video, really great. I would like to see more about how to use different reverbs on different tracks/instruments, definitely one of the hardest part of mixing, really hard to get a grip of the sounds of reverbs. I know why I should use predelay or the differense between a hall and a plate reverb, but I have no feel for it, that’s the hardest! 😊

    • @freezingcathedral
      @freezingcathedral 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      high pass and low pass to focus the mids, then scoop the mids.
      turn the level up on the reverb bus until whatever you're reverbing starts to sound wider.

    The bass drum flab reminds me of an Extra Classic song (as well as raw drum tracks on Abbey Road).
    I swear by my hardware dbx 166 (the old one) for both parallel compression/distortion. Often with a peavey kosmos exciter/enhancer right after.
    Before the pandemic I tracked a live fest and had to sum all drum mics to stereo. Made a parallel of snare and toms with one channel of a 3630 and omg! Huge sustaining drums, plus extra consistency from drummer to drummer in the 12 bands that played that night.

    A trick I learned (At least a trick for me) was to use parallel compression and smash the Sh*t out of the kick and then blend the original with the compressed version. The compressed one would just be barely audible but it would create a massive kick sound. \m/

  • @gendyp
    @gendyp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I realized it has some similarities with additive synthesis. F.e. you can get square wave from sine wave by distorting it, but by adding distorted wave to sine you'll get a blend of both without changing a character of the sine... does that make sense?

    I had a question if I may; re. the phase difference between the 'in line' compressors mix knob, and a separate aux. My current understand of most compressor mix knobs is that they don't work the same way as parallel compression, hence it would sound different, but I couldn't see why there would be any delay, with compensation on in Pro Tools?

      @jessealves_xc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don`t know what you mean. At that point the fader reaches -16dbFS. So it`s not clipping on his system. Maybe on yours. But what does occur is a jump in the level. And that is surely a bit too much.

  • @slesher84
    @slesher84 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I still understand how to achieve balance in the mix when the instruments are played throughout the composition. For example bass, drums, rhythm guitar. But there are parts that do not sound in the whole composition. For example, on the example of the sound of the keyboard or harp (it reminds me of the keyboard). This is a side theme that I pay attention to when I hear the mix. I don't know how to achieve this.
    Especially when there are many such baroque side themes in the mix, they are counterpoint.

    I love that you included the synonyms. Isn't upward compression something though?
    So i looked it up and it seems like parallel compression can at least approximate what upward compressors do which is bringing quieter sounds up to the threshold.

    • @MikeBrayton
      @MikeBrayton 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had to look it up as well. It's technically only "upward", it seems to me, if the parallel compressor has a fast attack and release, and you turn the volume up on that parallel channel - thereby crushing the transients and allowing the quiet and ambient sounds to come up. But this relies on the dry channel for the transients to stay in tact.... So, well, it looks like "parallel compression" is a better term.

    Lots of TH-camrs advise guitarists to send the DI tracks to the mixing engineer so the engineer can make the guitar tracks fit into the mix. But I (am a beginner) think any of the tones of a guitarist can fit his song.

    The "problem" with parallel compression I usually have is that it simply makes stuff louder, so sometimes it's hard to know (for me) wether I like the loudness, or the processing I do on it. I tend to try to get away with as little parallel compression as possible and that might be a mistake, since I'm not getting enough experience with PC that way.

    • @johnnyt5514
      @johnnyt5514 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’d say keep seeking for equal loudness. I like it, when the parallel compressed track is just slightly mixed in, making the track more consistent and stable but not essentially louder. A good designed plugin mix knob or some tricks with additional bussing might be helpful too. Also, it is much more subtle when you listen to the mix as a whole. It should mainly affect quiet parts and make them better hearable.

      @Sounder I understand compression and I hear what it does... but it's easy to gain-compensate for regular compression, it's not easy for parallel compression, since you (I) have it on another bus.. which means when I turn this bus up it gets louder.. that's just what it is and that's why whenever possible I prefer using a mix-knob... but obviously you can do a lot more on a separate bus, then just what the plugin with the mixknob does.

      @@johnnyt5514 I'm not talking about peak/meter-loudness.. I'm talking about perceived loudness.. and when you are adding a signal that is in phase it always gets louder. I have no idea what kind of additional bussing would help to gaincompensate the adding in of a parallel compression-bus. I think the solution is simply to learn to be able to take the loudness into account. But that is a process and takes time... I don't think that process ever ends.
      I do not think there is a solution for this problem, I was just stating what can be troublesome when using parallel compression (for me).

    You can't beat New York compression or pizza. They both need to be part of your daily routine.
