Hello!
So I'm having some trouble getting my head around bus compression (and EQ).
-
Why do you do it as opposed to just compressing the individual samples? Is it only because of the "glue" effect?
-
How do you know if you need to compress the individual samples first before applying bus compression?
-
Why do you use bus compression on say only the drums, or only the synths and so on, and not for instance the lead together with the kick or other random combinations?
-
On a similar note, why do you bus EQ as opposed to EQing the individual elements and thus avoiding the unbalanced "bus mix" in the first place?
