Parallel Compression: The Secret to Perfect Transients!

[@Niilezcole]

I hate when Producers always Tell us How to Use Parallel compression but never give us the full run down of How to use it , Which bus to use and how to send it through each Bus . Thanks for this 💪🏾

When u parallel compress , Do u Use the same Plugins on the copy Track or do u use the Unedited original Track on the copy vocals ?

Hey, @Niilezcole...thanks for the question! Here's my answer based on what I believe I understand about your question: The copy will be SENT via a BUS to a dedicated aux track that has a compressor plugin on its INSERT with original settings dialed in for the purpose of parallel compression. It may be wise to set the parameters on that compressor in a general way that would possibly work for multiple elements/tracks, so that they could benefit from the same parallel compression if sent to it. This would keep your system working at optimum potential when processing. Hope this helps! If not, please rephrase your question for me so I could be of better service to you! 😉
