The ratios and thresholds of the parallel compressor that you mix in also affects the result. |
How about the attack time? If I'm using a slower attack time, letting peaks through, they mix in with the source at perhaps much higher levels than the source's peak value. This in theory is no long upward compression is that correct?
Would you need a zero attack time theoretically to actually produce upward compression?
