Apply drum compression to increase the kick drum's punch and attack, making it cut through a busy mix, and use it to glue drum groups and loops for cohesion.
Explore snare compression to add punch and a percussive attack, using open attack, quick release, and infinity ratio, with threshold adjustment and makeup gain to restore level.
Explore bass compression techniques for different bass types—plucky, distorted, and smooth—focusing on smoothing volume differences with fast attack, slow release, infinity ratio, and soft knee.
Explore bass compression techniques by setting a fast attack, infinity ratio with knee, a threshold around minus 32 dB, and a slow release to reduce pumping and increase loudness.
Apply vocal compression with serial compression, using multiple compressors to control loud words and smooth dynamics through careful threshold, attack, release, knee, and ratio.
Master multi-band compression by targeting frequency ranges with separate settings to glue kick and bass, tame harsh highs, and shape vocals.
Master serial compression for vocals by chaining multiple compressors: fix loud words, reduce harsh frequencies with a multiband, then glue the mix with a final compressor.
