Thanks everyone, and Mux I don't have one in particular that I like to use but usually I favor more rock/metal genres for the EQ games because they have more sonic information to go off of, thus making them a little easier

i bet u did it on the drums sound

sheeeeeshhhh

Fantastic!

Go Jojo!

Got those money ears now 😀

Yeah, that's a reasonable heuristic. That's interesting that your initial impression of compression was to make it cleaner. I kind of overlooked what compression could do for a long time, and when I finally did start uncorking it, it was because I felt it had the capacity to make things messy and chaotic. There's a lot of nuance in this world!

@Matt R Thats the idea. Compression to make a more compressed (tighter) and thus a cleaner sound. But it aint, and I still dont't get it. But hé, if it gives a correct answer eacht time. Every disadvantage has its advantage (Johan Cruyff)

Depends on the comp, most of the famous ones distort the source with saturation, only VCAs offer a clean reduction in dynamic range only
