A compressor is what is known as a "dynamics" processor. It is used, primarily, to reduce the dynamics of a particular sound or sounds, like a bass, bass drum, lead vocal, or a complete mix. You would use it to reduce the occurrences of quiet sections within a performance, in other words, to kinda, even out the sound, so you don't think that, "Hey! Where has the vocal disappeared too, or why has the bass gone very quiet all of a sudden..."! What I've just described is very, very basic, the use of compression, is almost an art form in itself, and I'm no expert believe me, but I hope this gives you a vague idea...

You'd use an equalizer, not a compressor!

You have to keep messing with the frequencies and gain levels in the bands. Also, are you adding a compressor from the sonitus effects? That helps as well.

I don't have a problem with bass, but I know that it shouldn't overpower the rest of the mix. ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 11:19 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: 2 questions You might want to try and add a high shelf setting in your e q's. Omar Binno ----- Original Message ----- From: neville To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 11:05 PM Subject: [ddots-l] 2 questions I have 2 questions for all you experts. 1 How do you find unwanted frequencies and remove them? How do you get the most out of a kick drum or a bass guitar if it's too boomy sounding? I wouldn't want to remove all the low frequencies, because then it would sound flat, but at the same time I wouldn't want to overpower the mix. 2 How would I remove hiss from a loop that I downloaded? I would like to get the most out of these loops, but some of them are messy sounding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
