May 27, 2008 10:18 am So if my voice is soft more compression and if its heavy less compression?
May 27, 2008 12:15 pm Not at all. If your voice is heavy you jack the ratio up to control the range of volume and tame the peaks.
Softer singers you go with a smaller ratio to allow more dynamics through.
Not set in stone, but I would say more common than not.
Jun 05, 2008 09:00 am It's an art, really. Threashold and ratio work together to determine how much of the louder portions of the signal you want to tame and by what degree you want to tame them. I really don't know any way to circumvent the frustration of learning by doing with a compresser as that is how I learned. I toyed with it and listened...closely.
