Mo, wow…what can I say man. I started producing music over 8 years ago, way back in the Mod Tracker days, and in that time I can definitely say I have learned a lot on my own; much more than I ever dreamed of when I was starting out. By applying the information that you have shared in these tutorials on a project I’m currently working on, not only am I completely blown away by the quality of the mixes I’m getting now, but I can actually say “Holy shit, I made that!”

Eternally grateful dude. Thanks a lot.

p.s : This couldn’t have come at a better time, I’m currently remixing an upcoming release for Abora Recordings, and there’s no question it’s going to help out!

Steve,
yes it does actually, i tried this in Logic 8 and it works perfectly well. another really good technique is to route all your drum tracks into one bus and send that bus into a aux channel with a really squashed compressor (where the amount of send will be the amount of compression.

In a mastering situation, doesn’t the “Mix” control in the extended parameters allow for parallel compression right in the compressor itself?

Mo Volans, Thanks a lot 4 your tuts, they are great, but I have some problem with loudness.
RMS of your compressed .aif is higher than mine. I can send you a project file if needed.

@ Marcus… when i said transparent i meant its implementation and not its effect on the sound really meant it doesn’t work 100% how it should in some areas or maybe its integration isn’t quite as tight, sorry for any confusion.

and @ Dan, sorry but it seems this one has already getting used in a mix of mine, but please feel free to use the individual sounds and of course … the technique !
