Mixing Style

bionic brown · 20th March 2007

Hello Russell. I first want to say that you are my favorite engineer and I your work is incredible!

I would like to know how you approach eq and compression for drums and bass. While I realize there are infinite possibilities, I am particularly interested in your technique for the Voodoo album. I have already read that you use the 1176 and Fairchild 670 compressors, etc.

But i'm more interested in your train of thought or goals when using compression. For instance, are you shortening the dynamic range and then boosting the compressed signal to achieve a fatter drum sound? What about the attack and release settings?

Sincerely,

Darryl Reeves
