C2 Stereo Compressor- User's guide

SYNTH SOUNDS
There cannot be a general rule with synth sounds. Organ types of sounds respond well
to compression and can be treated with fast attack and fast release conpression to get
punchy sounds. Sustained chordy sounds should be left almost uncompressed otherwise
they can suffer from 'ripply' sounds.
SUBGROUPS
Remember that big compressed sounds are a balancing act; When heavy JOEMEEK
type compression is being used on a complete mix, or on a group of instruments, if any
instrument or sound in the mix is suddenly louder than others, it will kick down the level
of all the rest. As the sound stays bright and 'present' with this compressor, it's possible
to go much heavier than on any other compressor without the sound going muddy;
but the initial balance gets more critical! Experiment with the attack control. As a starting
point set the Attack to 8 to 10mS and the release to about 1sec. This is a good general
setting for rythmic pop music. Try compressing the backing but leave the bass outside
the compression and compress it separately.
