Hey Andy and everybody,
here is my new question of the day : how do you work with the snare track when the energy is greatly varying from part to part ? Do you set a compressor for the whole song (in my case, it's quite hard since it's an hour long song...), or do you automate the manual volume changes ? I'm using a quite long Attack time (50ms) to have more punch on the snare, but when there are some really hard snares (rim shots for example) coming, it doesn't prevent them. Shall I double compress it ? One compressor for the punch, and one for the volume ? Or am I doing everything wrong ?
Thank you for your answers
Brett
