My go to parallel compression
🕑 Added 2020-06-05 06:56:13 +0000 UTCIn this video I go more into my parallel compression technique. Generally speaking I using this as a way to help what was mixing. I give two use case examples where in one I needed the melodics to warm up in the sides and the other to brighten up the overall melodics.
The reason I started using technique on melodics was that I tended to mix the drums a bit too loud and this was a sneaky way of compensating for that.
This technique is always developing and parallel work is becoming a signature. I love shared harmonics be it time based, compression or saturation.

thanks for that side chain to the cla2a will keep it in mind
per other tutorials Guido made, the CLA-2A has a slower attack / release and I understood that its good to use on automation changes such as filter cutoffs to keep volume levelled (i.e. make sure don't over-gain before the drop) and also works well on vocals. happy to stand corrected if wrong!
When do you go for the CLA-2A instead? When the instrument has enough brightness?
