I am not a fan of a 'slow learning curve'. If one thinks they have found it, they would have no reason to care about music and have then failed. Likely the mics that moresound just loaned me.īut, there is no end. < I'll look back on that comment two months from now, and say to myself 'how was I happy'? "I just found something new that changes everything".

I'm happy with where I am now, and learning more as I go. I look forward to the day I feel satisfied with everything I do. Each purchase, each failure, each improvement builds up to what some might call experience. I am still learning everyday, but I will say that it keeps getting easier to get what was a struggle last month. Each day it becomes more clear what makes things sound good. I have spent years trying to fine tune any of this. Which also leads to monitoring and room treatment issues. That being said, low frequencies will screw up what a compressor is doing, if the low end is hitting it first.

I typically use compression as an effect. Though I do use parallel compression on the drum bus. Honestly, I don't use much compression on drums individually. These issues can be controlled, and should be before a limiter is added.

Oh, and to the original issue, compression is your friend.
