Hey guys,
I know compression has been spoken about A LOT! though im still unclear.
Okay i know what all the controls on a compressor are for. For eg i know what a ratio/knee etc does. i know know a compressor reduces the difference between the highest and the lowest peak of a signal so the volume can be raised. i have read up a lot..
Though what i cant get is, i can't seem to hear the effect of a compressor much. now when i say that i mean, when i put on a compressor i dont really know when its effect is too much or too little. Obv, when the make up gain is added it gets louder and when not it get softer. Thats very obvious. Though i know what attack release and all the parameters do, i dont know how to customise them for diff signals. i own the KRK rp8s though cant treat my room (not an option sadly). My technique of compressing is: pull threshold completely down, max attack, min release and then slow start reducing attack and suit everything to need.
Whats your technique and what would you advice me?
