I give away some good secrets in this one.
This week's episode isn't just another tutorial on how to use compression that duplicates what is already out there. I wanted to give you something worth your time.
Part 1 is how producer T Bone Burnett achieves one of his signature sounds by using compression. The trick is that he has the drummer play softly, and use compression to bring out the interesting tones of the kit.
Part 2 is using the 1176 type compressor in "All-buttons Mode" where you can get the highly commercial sound where the drums are in your face.
Part 3 is using the compressor to increase the sustain of the cymbals and create a cool ducking effect that occurs when the overheads are highly compressed. I talk about what I look for in compression settings and why compression helps to help lower the volume of the cymbals in the mix. (Here's a clue: Average Volume)
Let me know what you think of the episode!
