why we added the Parallel Inject. By increasing the Parallel Inject you can blend in a little
bit of the original signal (with the original transients). Try to balance it so that you get the
transients from the dry path and the rest of the signal from the compressed path.
All the energy and attack of each note disappears (pt. II)
Another trick you could try, if you'd like to restore some of the transients is to narrow down
the detectors frequency bands by adding some Low Cut and High Cut filtering. It doesn't
work on all program material, but it's worth a try.
I want some cool drum bus tricks
Ok, here are our favorites:
1. Fat Bass Drum: Apply heavy compression on your drum bus. Increase the
Low Cut knob until the bass drum doesn't trigger the compressor (at about
200-300 Hz). In most cases, this will make the bass drum sound fatter and
louder compared to the rest of the kit.
2. Pumping Drums: Set Ratio on A L L , Release on S L O W and adjust the Input
until you're satisfied. Blend in some dry signal with Parallel Inject.
3. Sustained Drums with Transients: Apply heavy 2 0 : 1 compression with fast
release and attack times, blend in some transients with Parallel Inject.
Adding color
Finally you shouldn't be afraid of using this plug-in in the 1 : 1 mode. You won't get any
compression, but it will color the sound. And the meters look nice too.
