Im at a stage in my production where my tunes are getting to be very consistent and I think I need to move to the next level in production... and I think it lies in the dynamics.
I was making a dubstep tune, and I tried sidechaining the kick to the master bus, because the kick was only on step one of every 16, it had a really nice effect, though I couldnt really decide whether to use it or not, as it was late on into the tune and my ears were a bit gone (I think it was killing some of the high freqs too much). I did notice that it definetely did gel the tune a bit together though.
Ive talked to a lot of producers (house etc) and they often put a compressor on the drums bus, and some even on the master, and Im not particularly trying to sort out the dynamics here, Im just trying to get the tune to really stick together that extra little bit. My problem is that (maybe its just my biased ears) but I realy dont like the sound of a compressor on a drum or master bus usually, because something like the kick and snare usually trigger it the most, and atleast with DnB I really dont think it sounds that good or "natural" at all.
The only thing I really use on any master bus is Logics adaptive limiter (Basiclly exactly like L2), which sounds cool... Does anyone have any tricks or experiences with using compressors or for that matter anything else on the master bus...? I know sub focus usually sticks an eq on the master...

layer a thumb of a sub bass sound under your kick and layer layer and layer... and compress the shit out of your drums.. and compress the snare seperate and the kick seperate only slightly and then put it all into a group and compress that completely.. then you get the new york drum sound which can sound thick but steriel.. thats my fav compression trick.
