Korneff audio el Juan limiter free

He royally fucked up the drums and the levels pump around. The latter I don’t think is his fault is his fault because as a heavy / soft band, like Pantera or nirvana, if he rides the faders into his ssl bus to keep it in the sweet spot and keep the guitar and vocals consistent in the sweet spot where the gain reduction speeds on just transients for his ratio, his attack, and auto release (which also adds a slower auto attack) to get it program dependent to not pump around like your typical compressor either by riding the bus or vca group faders into the bus comp or riding a vca on the summed mix bus into the master bus to keep the ssl bus compressor in the sweet spot on an already leveled mix, the parts where everything plays at once are going to be louder than the parts that are sparse from everything being summed together and this all will just get slammed by the limiter.

The ride all the faders that have already been mostly evened out into the ssl bus comp for every single part even when it’s doing greater gain reduction, automating them to keep the levels the same takes longer and is the super glue and will even out the levels of different parts the song at the cost of a ton of automation passes and maybe changing the sound of different parts of the mix. The ride the mix bus fader of the already evened out mix into bus compressor method gives some leveling and envelope shaping to every part to keep the levels the same. it will do the same amount of gain reduction to each part of the song but won’t change the levels of different parts of the song relative to each other. Gorilla vs Elmer’s glue. But loudness war limiting will wreck the latter.

If you just slap the bus compressor on without automating something, it’s going to sound like shit the moment anything knocks it put of the sweet spot or you fight the bus comp’s modulation with the faders and cla’s mixes do not usually pump around like crazy with the kick or snare so he’s probably automating something into the bus comp.

Of course spanking all the drums, not panning them to overheads, and making the drum bus slam or nuke rather than sit, can’t easily be done with heavy, fast drumming. When the levee breaks is slow! The cymbals are all on him because he could always shove a de-esser on the overheads or not phase the wash even more.
