Lately for recording we (Stoat) have been using a cheapish midi kit with BFD2. I highly recommend it - it sounds way better than any set of live drums we've ever recorded, and it's so much more controllable and easier to fuckups and timing. I'm never recording live drums again
Compressor help please.
I like to compress the fuck out of my vocals. So far the most satisfying and simple way I've found to do this is using the Squash Compressor from Logic's Guitar Pedalboard. I set it to 100% and it sounds great during lines of vocals, it falls down at the start of lines where you get a peak and also during some sounds, eg: the C in a word like Clap.
I've fixed this with elaborate automation before but that's a pain in the arse.
Logic has a ton of other compression options but I'm not into them.
Recommendations please.
With a Knee of 0, you can think of the Threshold as being a single point. When the input level is below this point, the compressor does nothing. As soon as the input level is at or above this point, the compressor becomes fully active. With a ratio of 4, for example, this might look like:
When you set a Knee value, however, you can think of the Threshold as a range, rather than one point. For input levels below this range, the compressor does nothing. As you enter the range, the compressor will become gradually more active, until it is fully "on" at the top end of the range. Thus:
- signals below the Threshold are uncompressed (ratio of 1:1)
- signals at or above the Threshold are fully compressed (ratio of 4:1)
Notice that as you turn up the Knee, two vertical lines move outwards from the Threshold point in the graph. This visually indicates the expanded threshold range.
- signals far below the Threshold are uncompressed (ratio of 1:1)
- signals a bit below the Threshold are a bit compressed (ratio of 2:1)
- signals at or right around the Threshold are more compressed (ratio of 3:1)
- signals far above the Threshold are fully compressed (ratio of 4:1)
