Compression keeps pressing

By prophisee on October 20, 2024 11:55 pm

Playing with multiband sidechain compression this week and decided to make the lyrics about it

› lyrics

Love this. Drums are crispy, bass is so smooth, and the guitar has this bluesy ease to it that’s just great. Vocals are a great fit for the style - everything has this low-key groove. And then that e-piano solo! Favorited.

excellent song and groove!
not to be reductive, but the compression does feel a bit heavy to me  smile

sidechain is pumpin fa sho. Cool guitar/bass parts. Nice jaaaaam

A breath of freshly compressed air. Not the unhealthy one, the good kind.

Haha yeah I am still struggling to get everything right even 42 weeks in. After this comment I tried to lay off a little. I think I was squashing the individual instruments in general a little too much but then making it much worse in mastering so trying to lay off both
