Charles, are you mixing thru AC1 and RenComp now ? or are you mixing only thru RenComp ?
I never tried mixing thru a compressor, I insert a compressor when my mix is almost finished.
With this technique, you always have the choice to use or not a compressor at the end of your mix.
As you said, if you mix thru a compressor, your entire mix will be based on it, and if you pull it out : the mix will fall apart.
I really love the last mixes you did : I am going to try mixing thru a compressor and see if this technique works for me.
About AC1 you said in a previous post that it's not a compressor, it's an emulation of Analog Console saturation : I don't understand your statement because it acts like a compressor in my opinion.
About your settings on RenComp, why are you using a very short attack and long release ?
what surprise me the most is a such short attack on your mix bus.
Do you use a high or low threshold ? output gain ?
The most difficult part in mixing thru a compressor would be to find the right settings at the beginning of the mix IMO ...
I have also a question about Duy Wide, I tried to use it and it does a really great job, the only problem is that he eats the dynamic (specially all the centered stuff).
If I use it in the last position on the mix bus, it does a great job of widening the mix but I have to sacrifice a bit the dynamic.
If I use it in first position on the mix bus, the widening effect is less present but the dynamic is less affected.
What are your thoughts ?
Thanks.
