@nico_essig: i like usjng this trick to create that little extra bounce to make the instruments sound more together. Definitely something to try ! * Set a fast attack time. This will help to catch the transients of each keystroke, which will make your playing sound more precise. * Set a moderate ratio. A ratio of 2:1 to 4:1 is a good starting point. This will help to even out the dynamics of your playing without making it sound too squashed. * Experiment with the threshold. The threshold determines how loud the signal has to be before the compressor kicks in. You'll need to experiment to find the setting that works best for your playing style. * Use a little bit of sidechain compression. Sidechain compression is a technique where the compressor is triggered by another signal. In this case, you could use the compressor to be triggered by the bass or kick drum. This will help to tighten up your playing by making the notes that you play with the bass or kick drum sound more even. Here are some additional tips: * Don't be afraid to experiment. There is no right or wrong way to use a keybed compressor. The best way to find the settings that work best for you is to experiment. * Start with a clean sound. It's better to start with a clean sound and then add compression than to start with a compressed sound and try to fix it. * Listen to the difference. The best way to judge whether or not you've used the compressor correctly is to listen to the difference between the compressed and uncompressed signal. #mixmaster #diymusicproduction #nicoessig #vocalchain #keycompression #mixtechniques #mixingtutorials #mixingtutorial #mixingtrick #compression #piercetheveil #piercetheveiltok
