When you parallel the fast attack, what does this do to the transients - does it let some of them through? I rarely like to hear compression grab a note, except for percussion.
yeah so if you want punchy drums 30ms attack, for snappy drums 10ms but if your drums are snappy/punchy and short i would just leave them alone or use a clipper to get rid off the rogue transients. edit sorry im tired i didnt read the parallel part so basically its a dry/wet signal you can add the compressed version back to the original giving it more RMS/body without spiking the transients too much
If you have a slow attack you will get punched. Best way to remember that.
I do whatever attack time I want and nobody can stop me. When people try to control my attack times I laugh in their face and do whatever I feel like.
when im in a bad mood i set my threshold to 0
😂

I don’t know pretty much all TH-camrs use AUTOGAIN while explaining compression. That way it’s less noticeable than without autogain on
ever notice how on headphones it's a lot easier to hear compression at lower volumes than at higher?
yeah because your ears naturally compress loud sounds. thats a good way to compress is to listen to low volume just so you barely hear it
@@sac5608 Yeah that's what i do. Interesting stuff
Attack is rate of change not delay of action. More simple way to think of it 🤓
Was thinking the same
Now do long release times
I always just choose what feels and sounds best whether its slow or fast
yeah thats the ideal way
Wow you’re a genius
