Ok well SWAN808 will no doubt happily do it

Nice one, i wasn't aware of that (and i dont know who deadmau5 is really apart from some generic dance music *to my ears* and for no dance music makers the title of the thread might put them off (i will myself look at anything but others might not

- i live and breath metal fwiw so that goes someway to explaining why i dont know much about dance music. A good compressor is a good compressor regardless of genre though in my book )

Thanks for putting me right poonna

thank you!

i'm lucky, as i work with some very talented artists, so i tend to get painted with the same brush

back on topic,

did any one else notice what this comp did to the fade out on the deadly hunta vocal?

The dry and wet are both normalised to -0.5 dB.

Hey

Very busy examples, great! Thanks for taking your time to make them

Its always very hard to compress a piano with such a long release without destroying the sound. I usually run to UAD's 88RS when dealing with such sounds as its rather easy to restrain from pumping too much.

Ok, i notice the "i still bumped" seems to give an extreme spike which will ruin the peak normalizing. But of course, its a part of a compressors job to eliminate such.

Talented artists stuck with a bad producer doesn't give good results

(untalented people with a talented producer gives better results hehe)

I suppose that was a hint hehe. I can't say what it is on standing foot, though (thats hard to do). Sounds pretty funny, i suppose you do a lot of filter manipulation?

dont worry andy - I hear working on compressors can have a flattening effect

Thanks for these Nekro, but I didn't process all of these since some of them were already badly compressed and so had wobbling artifacts in them. I processed the ones with the most dynamic range still in them:

If anyone has more dry piano loops they want compressed then please post them through please: info atsign cytomic dotsign com
