DrShann · 12th March 2005

Hey guys.

I've noticed some of you mention that you use 2 compressors (or 1 dedicated limiter and 1 compressor) during tracking, one limiting (i.e. fast) and the second slower compressing.

Could someone clarify the theory behind doubling up like this, and the benefits it brings over using a single box?

Thanks.
