ps this is also how you side chain... also sending the kick to a bus, with a sub on teh same bus send... which triggers the compression on every kick, making that sub pump.. deff worth practicing in tunes...

are you working with fruity? in that case, it ain't all too hard.
you send your drums to "FX 1"
you bring down the slider from "send 1"
you send your drums from "FX 1" to "send 1"
and from there on just follow the steps (you are now @ step 5) given by the man from the article.
if you're not working with fruity, i just gave you another answer that is useless to you.

Lol weird technique, will give phase trouble when the signal on the send is delayed by the latency of the plugins. You'll need to put a delay on the original signal to compensate for this. Getting it right will take you some serious tweaking or you'll need to record both signals and measure the latency.
The compensating delay on the original channel needs to be inserted after the send so you will need to switch the inserts after the auxes, and I'm not sure if this is possible with all software.
There are some really old optical compressors that work exactly like this, mixing the compressed and non-compressed parts together. In the analog domain there is very little latency so it can be pulled off easier.
All it does really is a troublesome way to get bootstrap compression, this can be much more easily done by simply slapping a bootstrap compressor on the insert

ive had no trouble with phasing with this technique. not that i can hear anyway (which doesnt say much). surely it depends on the amount of send and how you mix the signals?

A bootstrap compressor works by compressing the signal that is *below* a certain threshold, so it keeps the peaks intact but reduces the dynamics by bringing up the soft parts.
Many expanders can do this too, if they allow the ratio to be turned the other way, e.g. a 3:1 ratio instead of a 1:3 ratio.
You can do this in any dynamic processor that allows you to adjust the ratio below a certain threshold. Check out the screenshot from Sound Forge below. |
Really cool! But I think it needs to be combined with ordinary compression to get the punch of the attack slippin trough the compressor. This adds more energy to the transients.
Can rhis be done with waves expanders?
