Haven't heard of this one, but it is very noticeable on good headphones. It just makes the mix slightly fuller and richer. Very useful, thanks Colin. All those 1-2% changes add up !

So I’ve watched a number of videos about the rear buss technique (including one where Scheps talks about it) and the only thing that I want to point out is that typically he’s not doing as much gain reduction as you are with the first compressor. You were pointing out that it was like 17dB of GR, which is more than needed. With the stock compressor you were between -5 and -10, which is more like what Scheps does. To people trying this for the first time, there are other videos that give you starting points for attack, release, and ratio settings, then you dial in a moderate amount of compression rather than super squashing it.

To be honest, I couldn’t tell a difference when you had the rear bus on and off. Thanks for sharing, though. I’m gonna go try it.

A very useful technique, I will definitely try it. I'm doing a lot more now in Logic and this is another good reason why. Because of my circumstances I do almost all my work using headphones and found something very useful for this, Goodhertz Can Opener. It makes a mix listened to on headphones sound a lot like listening to it on speakers. It's not free but I am very impressed by it.

Interesting - it’s like doing parallel compression on everything except the drums (which you’re probably treating on their own). The stereo widening thing is interesting. I know there is also a stereo enhancer knob on Bx masterdesk - guessing this does something similar but mixed in parallel?

Why is dual mono important? I know you kinda said what it is but like...what is it really?
@forestcochran41965 ай бұрын
If the right and left are compressed separately, it creates more of a sense of movement than if you have everything compressed the same. For instance, if you have hard-panned guitars hitting at different times, you don’t want the left channel to start compressing when the right guitar hits. Hope this helps.

man, your channel is awesome. Quick question: is the laptop/desktop Garageband you teach, the same as Ipad?

Thanks for this. Does the Rear Buss go through the same mastering chain as the rest of the mix? Or does it go out independently on the Stereo Out, separate from the original mix's final bus chain?

It’s just parallel compression. You can do this on all separate tracks to have more control. This has been around for years.

Why do one has to choose dual mono instead of stereo?

What’s logic? I thought this channel is about garageband.
@JohnLynagh Жыл бұрын
Logic is the paid supped up version of Garageband (it's well worth it, when you are ready). This channel is really about home recording and Colin mainly uses Garageband , but from time to time uses Logic.

Logic is the big brother of garageband.

is this only for beats?

Nope! This can work for just about any style song. The only thing I probably wouldn't ever us it on is really light acoustic music
