Would lower ratio and threshold have any impact on making my drums slam into my subs? Im trying to get my kicks to knock Dr. Dre style.

Feb 22, 2006 06:39 pm sometimes people will trigger two samples one all attack and one all sustain... and put the sustain on a slight delay to allow the impact to be "felt" and nearly instantly replaced with the deep tone...
Feb 23, 2006 11:29 am good call zek! i'd do just that and set up two tracks (or ya can do it with an aux buss) compress one and leave the other uncompressed. set a pretty fast attack time on the compressor (cuz you don't need the inital transients) and squash it at like 10:1 or something with a longer release (accually set that release to 'let go' just before the next beat. on the uncompressed track, eq out some of the muck under 80hz, the compressed track will provide the lows for ya, ya just wanna use this track for the first 'hit'.
Feb 23, 2006 03:50 pm sweet, will give it a shot. So the ratio will squash it, as for the threshold, too low of a threshold will knock the point of the kick off correct and give it less dynamics?
Feb 23, 2006 04:15 pm yeah the lower the threshold (larger negative number) couppled with a higher ratio, the more compressed your signal will be.
