The mpressor also proves of great value when
used as a high class mix buss compressor, es-
pecially when it comes to the more vehement
genres like rock and electronic music.
We even have some clients who are using the
hardware for mastering applications. If you are
aiming to do so, though, always keep in mind
that the mpressor is a hard knee design and that
applying lots of gain also increases THD.
If you want to achieve gentle results, gentle and
careful settings are the inevitable basis to get
there.
If you use the mpressor plugin straight on from
the beginning of a mix, it is very likely that you
will automatically adapt your mixing to the
sound this produces.
The proportions between the levels of the sepa-
rate tracks will be attuned perfectly to the ac-
tive compressor. This kind of mixing especially
makes sense if the complete basic sound is sup-
posed to sounds different from the ‘standards’
of other productions.
If you want a complete song to sound very
groovy and pumping, for example, just mix the
drums louder as usual so that they dominate
the compression process. All other instruments
which are quieter in the mix now groove in con-
formity with the drums and become very vivid
thereby.
From here on, feel free to experiment with the
mpressor plugin in any way that comes to your
mind. There are lots of options and interesting
sounds to be discovered. We wish you lots of
fun finding them!
