Compressor Help

[auditory hallucinations]

Good book: The Dance Music Manual by Rik Snowman (I think) - it covers compression & processors, effects & mastering aswell over quite a few genres including techno.

Think he might be on commission from PSP though, he recommends the Vintage Warmer plug-in a lot...

There was a really great post on here last week about compression - from memory you set the thresehold to a sensitive setting, ratio to max, release to min then fiddle with the attack till you get the "edge" you want, then adjust the release to get it to groove with the material - then back off the ratio until the effect you've created dissapears then increase it back a little, then adjust the threshold.
the way the guy described it, it was like cracking a safe ie if you do it in that particular sequence the next "lock" opens up for you and hell it's made me get my head round it all sooooo much more!

i guess patience, practice and asking lots of questions is how you suss it out...

true, that post did it for me, too. superb and simple.
