Vocal compressors.

Compression, de-essing and gating: an even, upfront vocal that stays on top of the beat without jumping out.

How to use it

On a vocal.

  1. 1Fast attack for controlA fast attack catches peaks for an even vocal. A slower one lets the start of each word punch through.
  2. 2Watch the gain reductionA few dB on the loud parts is plenty for most vocals. More than that and it starts to sound squashed.
  3. 3De-ess afterCompression brings up the S sounds. A de-esser after it takes the sting back out.
