Multiband Compression

Post by Omen_Evildoer »

HI All ! (H) I've another question related to Multiband Compression if anyone of you have reliable presets?
or simply reliable values :? [only for the Kick] I know and I don't want to listen now that '' each kick is different'' so each configuration will be different... I'm asking if someone has just checked values for this type of Compression which give you good results.[ BTW i'm using Studio One 2] and here's Compressor which I'm using for Multiband... Image

I don't have presets so I can't help you there but I know professional producers who did use compressor in their plugin chain:
1. Audiofreq used compressor (not multiband) in his masterclass. He set an attack at I believe around 10-15ms (may vary), which represents the duration of the punch. That way, punch remains uncompressed while the tail is compressed and therefore more squeezed. There is more to this, but I don't remember the settings, so check his masterclass on kicks.
2. Outblast used multiband compression in his kick tutorial but for the hardcore kick. It might help you understand the concept. His tutorial is as well on Youtube.

But really in general compressor is not that common for making kicks so don't overuse it.

Yeah...I saw Outblast..[long time ago]..but his kick is totally different [typical hardcore kick]...and, as he explains in that video...He uses this more recently...thanks to Angerfist. _O_ I also usually use a regular compressor for kick .... but with multiband is a little different story..that's why I thought that someone already has some checked values
