I'm trying to understand the fundamentals behind bass compression...
Compressors always (at least the ones I've tried) take a lot of bottom out of the tone. I think it's because lower frequencies have more energy for the same volume, therefore triggering more compression? Is that it?
My issue is... There are a lot of time where I am quite satisfied with my tone, however there is still too much dynamic in the bass and I want to even things out. So I'm kinda screwed, as using compression affects the tone I liked...
Is that why people use multiple compressors in succession? (that is, multiple smaller ratios of compression instead of one big ratio).
Or perhaps people prefer using limiters?
Trying to understand the basics I guess....
