strange comment, i'd ignore the one about not compressing 303/acid lines. They work just like anything, compress them too much you'l lose the bite, compress them accurately, sparingly and coupled with good subtractive eq work and you'l get results. The 303 is no different to any other synth in terms of treatment, its what u do with it that counts, it's not some precious magic fix a track in a instant machine, just another synth, but it only makes one sound :)


The more you try and follow specific's for getting one sound, often enough you end up disapointed. Take a few guidelines, play around, see what works for you
