That being said, I have had great results on vocals and snare using the settings at 20% rms and 80% peak. Blending offers great versatility.
Is this featured on any hardware comps? Had anybody had luck with this technique, hardware or software? Thoughts? |
Well a peak compressor is acting more like a limiter or leveling amp.
So you are effectively chaining two types of dynamics reduction devices which is not uncommon in the analogue world...though I dont know of any one unit that does both.
Fun isnt it....
