Hey everyone. Today i had a spare hour so I decided to record a tutorial on parallel compression in mastering. This is a very simple process, but it has a big impact on your sound. This is a short introduction into the benefits of parallel compression, the possibilities are endless, so I hope this tutorial can help someone with their mastering or mixing.
While i find this way to be the most simple to explain the concept of parallel compression, please note that there are actually a few ways to set this up: you can also use a send for example.
Time and time again I find parallel compression useful, be that in mixing individual instruments or bus compression, or mastering. But like anything, it takes time, patience and practice to actually get good results, try not to over do it.
I used Camtasia to record the screen capture, and a zoom h2 portable recorder to record the narration.

June 11, 2015 at 10:17 amyou can't expect too much dynamics with this kind of music, so why not use a bus compressor??

June 11, 2015 at 11:13 amThanks for the wonderful video. I really enjoyed it. Let me share with you a small tip from a music producer: Music recording has always been a very important part of my life. I have always wanted to work as a DJ. This year I finally achieved this. After a lot of research I finally found the best software for music production for 2014. You can find a link to this music production program on my channel. check it out.?

June 11, 2015 at 12:50 pmGreat video on duplicating a track ,mastering utilizing parallel compression ,my question is on cubase 5 how do you erase or initialize the synth patches that come included on cubase 5 , for instance prologue to build my own patch from scratch

June 11, 2015 at 1:35 pmEven with track A compressed, and YouTube's questionable handling of audio, I still heard the difference. Really nice trick, thanks for sharing. I would never have thought of it.
