| what do you think about this:
usually put a compressor, an analog 1176 or some plug ins, i the attack and release, and maybe other parameters like knee, ratio etc.. and i leave the threshold in a middle position.
than i put an eq before the compressor (or whatever i like if i need) and i start finding the loudest freq that makes the compressor work, and i reduce it, maybe with a narrow Q or maybe not. than i push, maybe with some uad eq, or with an air eq, the freq i like, to characterize the track, to add harmonics.
i do some really big boost.. sometimes some enormous boost..
what i feel is that seems like filling the hole in the freq spectrum with the freq that works better in the track and in the mix.
you say that every eq changes means you need to reset the compressor..
i don't think so, i think in this case the compressor guide my choices and if i change it i lose what i obtained.
is this an objection because working in this way really gives me some very great result, so i'm asking you if what i'm saying doesn't have sense, if i can compromise something in this way, if it's not correct etc..
and maybe if you work in this way too..
to me having a compressor before the eq means, most of the time, as having a guide that says you.. hey that low cut is exactly at 30 not 50, because you hear quickly where the sounds is too much, or where you have cut too much.
what do you think? |
