HI there, So the MORE compressed sound in Dr. Compressor is the most raw sounding sound. Counter intuitive, but all my answers were correct with that strategy. Not that I understand it, but it will. In time.
I get what you mean but I think of it opposite from you. To me the more 'raw' sound is the one that sounds more like a fresh recording with no effects. So I generally see the 'raw' sounding one being the uncompressed one.
@jace @Matt thats what my idea was about a more or less compressed sound. The more compressed should be sounding more cleaner in my perception. But it tend to be the other way around. Like washing my hands makes them more dirty.
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!
🎚️ Is there such a thing as a perfect mix, or is perfection all in the ear of the beholder? Some say mixing has clear rules and standards, others believe it’s pure subjectivity and vibe.
What do you think? Drop your take and let’s start the debate!
My teacher says: The perfect mix is the one your customer likes. or -...- is the one you like. That's pretty need, whoever wants the mix is deciding what sounds best. And to everyone thinking there is only one style to mix: nope. Every song is different. Some songs need being super dry, some super wet and so on.
