Thread Starter | I was wondering if anyone out there has some good web sites and/or books that I could check out to find mixing techniques. I was wondering if someone could give me a quick run down of New York Compression. I learned it a while ago and I am trying to use it again. Im just not sure if my memory is correct. Thanks! |

| Man oh man...the perfect book for you is "The Mixing Engineers Handbook." It covers everything you wanted to know about in your post. New York Compression is also known as parallel compression. You duplicate a track, compress it, and then blend the compressed track with the original track. On a mixing board, I believe this would be known as "floating" the track. Andy Wallace is known for doing this technique with his drum tracks. So basically to do this in PT, you'd take your snare track for instance, duplicate it, and strap a compressor on one of its inserts. Then you could do one of two things, you could copy that same plugin to the original track and bypass it to make up for any latency, or you could nudge it forward by the number of samples the plugin on the compressed track caused. *NOTE - To view the amount of delay on a track, you would hold down the command button (MAC) and click on the volume button until it showed sample delay. |
