On the one hand, it is the glue that sticks the instruments together, on the other hand, it removes the dynamic range and life out of music if done badly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is essential in almost every mix to tame a big transient. If you don&#8217;t reduce the dynamic range a bit, you cannot turn the overall track volume up (or if you do, the peaks having a higher chance of clipping). The issue is how to get the right level?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/audioordeal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/SMAC-hi-res.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/audioordeal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/SMAC-hi-res.jpg?resize=320%2C153&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" height=\"153\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The first thing to do<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0is to listen to the track and consider what it needs. When you slap on a compressor, are you doing it out of habit, or are you doing it with deliberation and precision?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">By knowing exactly what you want to achieve, you have a better chance of dialling in your controls to what you want. The alternative is like fumbling in the dark until you get it right.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Set the compressor way harder than is needed and then slowly dial the controls back to when it sounds full of life again. <\/span>Hopefully<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">, it will start to fill with life before you stop actually compressing the track.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One point to consider is that if a signal is being overdriven, it is already compressing. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Overdrive stops the peaks going any higher than the threshold but, instead of reducing the volume, it just snips off the top of the waveform. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This causes harmonics and is not good for transparent compression, however, if you want to add a bit of grit, and can sacrifice the quality then consider using a very gentle overdrive, applied with a valve amp simulator.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sometimes how hard the compressor kicks in makes a difference, consider switching from hard knee to soft knee for a smoother compression, be aware that the compressor does start to kick in before the threshold.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/audioordeal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/basics_01.jpg?ssl=1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/audioordeal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/basics_01.jpg?resize=320%2C202&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" height=\"202\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you are an Ableton user, the handy <a href=\"https:\/\/audioordeal.co.uk\/whats-the-difference-between-compressor-and-glue-compressor\/\">Glue Compressor<\/a> is a good tool here.
