Let me ask you this: It seems like you really spend a lot of time deconstructing and "modifying" your individual sound sources through distortion and compression. From listening to your records, I'd guess that every track goes through "the treatment" in some way. So, with all that individual compression going on, how do you approach your 2buss compression? My guess is that it's a lighter touch than what's going on with the individual sources.
Thanks in advance. |

Again, it depends on the song but there is one thing I always do. I'm always listening through a 2bus compressor. From tracking to final mix.
I fiddle a lot with individual channels and at the same time experiment with different 2bus settings and units. I want an idea of what's going to happen at mixdown. No pun intended, but it's a dynamic process where, in my studio, there are few rules.
