SCENARIOS - Parallel Compression
Parallel Compression
If it should (or must) become really loud, you can also use the alpha com-
pressor to drive a track against the wall – but without the negative ef-
fects this usually entails.
For this procedure it is preferable to work in the classic linked Stereo
mode.
The time parameters are set very fast here; especially the Attack time at
only 10ųS. The Release parameter is set at 150ms while the correspond-
ing Auto Fast function is also activated and the Ratio is at maximum.
With these settings everything will be compressed very hard – even fast
transients and impulses, resulting in an intense limitation of the output
peak levels.
Now the Mix controller comes into play: If the just created ‚at‘ signal
is mixed to the original signal in moderate rates, it will be possible to
achieve an increase in loudness while still saving a great part of the ini-
tial dynamics.
