![]() ![]() ![]() If you followed this to the tee so far, you might not get the same sounding result as me. That’s because while you weren’t looking, I changed a few of the other compressor settings, namely the REL (release) and CURVE settings. The REL release setting is controlling how long it takes for the kicks compression effect on the bass to wear off. A higher setting means it will last longer. A lower setting means it will not last very long. We have to make sure it’s not too low, or we’ll cause distortion. This is no bueno, unless you are intentionally doing it for another effect. We’re aiming for a smooth compression curve. I increased the release time in our example so that the time spent compressing the bass synth is about equal to the time spent not compressing the bass synth. It’s totally subjective, but it sounds better to me this way. Use your ears to make the right call on these settings. This setting alters the tension of the attack and release curves. ![]() What’s that mean? Well at 1, your attack and release will be immediate. And at 8, your attack and release will be more sustained.
