A Totally New Approach to Bus Compression (...how to "Invigorate" your mix)

[@synthoelectro]

when you need your mix fixed, the right tool for the job can be applied. One thing I learned long ago, is do not use every single effect per track, namely EQ. After doing this for 23 years, the go-to things you use, include at times the needed thing. Dyn Compression is one of that helps me glue an unruly mix together.

Thanks Justin! I feel like a sculptor sometimes while mixing, trying to reveal the true spirit of the music without stifling tone and adding artifacts and distractions. This looks interesting...

[@hectormann1843]

Just tried it out on a snare, I’m lost! Sound really really great! 😊

[@juanchis.investigadorsonoro]

I wanna try it on some busses. Newfangled is a great company. I'll probably do some Backing Vocals, Brass, Mixbus & why not, I'll have fun with Reverb Compression

Thank you, very useful.

So... limiting is just a blend of clip saturation and compression. And parallel mix blend is the same thing as thresholds. Got it boss

[@SonicScoop]

Not exactly. Parallel mix blend is the same thing as ratio control! :-) (...in effect, anyway 🤯) Limiting is not precisely a blend of clipping saturation and compression, but has some of the side effects common to each. Technically, compression, saturation, clipping and compression are all the same kind of process under the hood. But, based on the types of rules we apply to that process, we get different side effects. This plugin allows you to blend between which types of rules, and therefore, side effects, you apply to this process. Hope that helps! -Justin

Was all this really level matched?

[@SonicScoop]

Yes, there is pretty good level matching going on in the plugin. No level matching is perfect, and even momentary "perfect" matches on a meter can be perceived as sounding louder or quieter based on a variety of variables. But as far as automatic level matching inside a plugin goes, this is some of the better level matching I've heard for sure. No additional level matching was done in post. Hope that helps, Justin

It simplifies parallel compression.

Very cool sounding plugin but it eats my AMD Ryzen 5900x CPU

[@catarinomedina9557]

these are all marketing games ..you will end at a 2 track eventually ..I am not impress ....being doing this too long

[@SonicScoop]

I don't know, I thought it was really fun to use. I've definitely not encountered a compressor that is controlled in this particular way before. (Or that allows you to blend through types of dynamic control like this.) Just my take! In these examples, we are not just ending at 2 track but starting there :-) Best wishes, Justin
