The 'Techniques for making techno' thread.

very interesting. I never would have focussed so much on compression. I think I've read too many magazine articles warning of over compressing things that I was too scared to do it enough.

I like what I'm hearing now though. once again great thread!!!

too much master compression is shit, but i use lots of compression on some parts and very little on others.
I usually only use a ratio of 1.3 or 1.7 on the master to keep plenty of dynamics, as i think it's the dynamics that make music interesting and give it life.

Far to much stuff coming out at the moment is really loud but got no life at all

that's a very nice atitude, dude. :boadj:
