Lunatik Postat 18 maj 2005 AnmĂ€l Dela Postat 18 maj 2005 Tja tja... Var och spana pĂ„ ett amerikanskt FL forum.. Och jag har alltid haft problem med att fĂ„ ut det maximala ur compressorn.. đ jag hittade detta inlĂ€gget och tyckte det var himla anvĂ€ndbart om man nu som jag har lite problem med de dĂ€r... Iaf prova dessa instĂ€llningar och glömma inte att ratta lite efter dina egna behov... đ ...Lunatik Compressor Before beginning, you'll need a large decible meter, preferably with a digital readout. As a general rule, your mix before mastering should fall around or below the 0db mark. Leaving a ceiling will allow you to compress and boost, without having to do too much limiting. Drums: Perhaps the most important element in a hip-hop track. DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Alchemist, Havoc, RZA, Marley Marl, Jay Dee, and Timbaland. What do all these producers have in common? Their thumping drums. Now imagine if all those beatmakers had used weak drums. Premier's "Come Clean" probably wouldn't be considered a classic, nor would Pete Rock's "T.R.O.Y". Compression is very much needed on drums, especially in the hip-hop world. What exactly does compression do to help? Fatten, thicken, louden, and sharpen. Deep, rumbly kick drums and sharp, snappy snares. Ah, the wonders of compression. Threshold: -10db to -15db Ratio: 6:1 to 8:1 Attack: 3ms Release: 10ms Knee: Hard Gain: +5db to +7db --- Percussion: Although not all hip-hop tracks contain, or need percussion, a lot of the newage pioneer beatmakers are using bongos, congas, triangles, steel drums, as well as other percussion instruments. Percussion doesn't require a lot of compression because usually, the percussion track rests behind the drum track. Bongos, congas, and the likes usually have an immediate popping sound that doesn't need compressing, so the attack should be set slower than drums. Threshold: -3db to -7db Ratio: 3:1 to 6:1 Attack: 5ms to 7ms Release: 15ms Knee: Hard Gain: +2db to +4db --- Bass: A common problem with bass is that the low notes seem to disappear into the mix while the higher notes stick out like a sore thumb. With many instruments, reverb could solve this problem. However, using reverb on the bass track usually gives it an undesirable effect. By using compression, you can bring up the lows, and submerge the higher notes into the mix. Often times, there is an initial "pluck" to the bass sound, and it can be more beneficial to let this sound slide through uncompressed. Threshold: -4db to -9db Ratio: 4:1 to 8:1 Attack: 3ms (if there is a plucking sound, use an attack closer to 7ms) Release: 100ms on short bass sounds / 300ms on long bass tones Knee: Hard Gain: +2db to +4db --- Brass / Wind instruments: Brass and wind instruments require a "transparent" type compression. Any obvious processing can noticably ruin the sound. Brass and wind instruments have a lot of variety in playing styles. Trumpets can be played expressivly loud, and a smooth, mellow flute will need much different processing. Threshold: -2db to -4db Ratio: 6:1 (lighter instruments) to 15:1 (deep brassy instruments) Attack: 3ms (If a transient sound needs through uncompressed, use 6ms) Release: 300ms Knee: Hard Gain: Varies Guitars: When working with acoustic guitars, compressors tend to reveal themselves more so it's a good idea to use a very "transparent" compression. If working with electric guitars, make small increases to the ratio and threshold. Threshold: -2db to -3db Ratio: 3:1 to 4:1 Attack: 3ms (If there is an initial pluck, use 5ms) Release: 30ms to 60ms Knee: Soft Gain: 0db to +1db --- Samples: If you're a sampled based producer (specifically, phrase sampler), chances are you don't get to compress several instruments in different ways. Using the following numbers, you'll be able to smooth out the entire sample without too much limiting. Threshold: -2db to -4db (If the sample is recorded bad, and there's lots of peaks, use a higher threshold around -8db) Ratio: 2:1 to 3:1 Attack: 2ms Release: 400ms Knee: Hard Gain: +1db to +3db --- Full Mix: The final mix doesn't require much compression, although some hip-hop songs have been compressed with up to a 4:1 ratio, most aren't needed that much. A final compression should act as a limiter, keeping the signal close to the 0db mark. Threshold: -4db to -7db Ratio: 1.5:1 to 2.5:1 Attack: 5ms Release: 200ms to 500ms Knee: Hard Gain : Varies --- Link to comment Dela pĂ„ andra sajter More sharing options...
Joonas Postat 18 maj 2005 AnmÀl Dela Postat 18 maj 2005 Juu, det dÀr Àr ju huvudsakligen till hiphop men funkar med andra stilar ocksÄ. "Hard knee" Àr inte alltid det bÀsta alternativet tycker jag. Kom ihÄg att skriv med svenska hÀr... Link to comment Dela pÄ andra sajter More sharing options...
