I usually use Waves L2 or L3 on the final mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindrift Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 In my ears compressing everything and too much is the most common mistake that fresh producers do. I rearely compress even kick and bass, and only compress leads if needed becasue i have problem controlling dynamics in a sound if for example the synth design make the level vary to much when doing filter sweeps. My favoured compressor for obvious and pumping results is Sonic Timeworks - Compressor X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowe Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 actually u dont even need to compress or equalize a bass if u know how to create a good bass like gms and spiritual enchancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
