What I'm hearing is maybe a 1.3:1 compression at -40db... A light compression that encompasses everything. There's a LOT of space in this mix that isn't working for me completely. By doing this kind of compression it might bring the quieter elements to the forefront. Give it a try at any rate... it should take you about 30 seconds to set it up... just see if you like the results!


Peace,

Thanks Ian! I'll have to listen and compare for awhile. My ears may not be able to hear a difference.

I would appreciate anyone's comparison on the mixes. My ears can't hear subtle differences any longer. Oh, how great it would be to have 20 year old ears. grin

Best, John smile
