YOU have a lot of space to work with and dynamics will make your tracks kill over compressed to hell shit. On the other hand if you are just doing pub style things on little yorkville powerd speakers then a little more compression might help. Still don't over do it.
I find for the big sound I work a lot deeper in the Freq range but you also need to keep it clean. IF possible use a good mastering engineer who specializes in that sound.
Less comp though will sound louder when it hits the limiters than a squashed to hell mix. Cleaner too. |
Very good post. Couldn't have said it better! thumbsup
In fact the BIG sound IS my specialisation.
