AuthorTopic: Compression on drums and bass?
Mirage

I am a newbe to the forums. I am using SX with mostly vsti and making trance and house music. When finished with mixing I will have a pro master our music, so my question is... Is it a goood idea to take all your drum tracks and bass track and send them to a group track and apply compression to add more punch or just leave that for mastering?

firstly-welcome to kvr- Smile

secondly- wrong forum, should be in fx or even everything else (audio related)..

but, anyway, your question is very broad..it sounds like you are not only a newbie to this forum, but mixing in general. The answer to your question really is, it depends on the material, and that's the bottom line. sometimes something will need compression, othertimes not.

Smile Thanks for the feedback. I think the drum sounds I am using are already processed.

Laughing you should not rip off others material... if you do it you are 100% sure they are processed... so lets start by making our own kickdrum...(dont take it personal, im just kidding with ya)

follow this steps, they can be implemented to any audio editor, or almost any i guess
