When you use traditional compressors to alter a signal’s envelope shape, you often trade one problem for another. Spiking out the attack uses deep threshold settings that alter the tone and shape of the decay, sometimes in an undesirable way, forcing us to use “mults” or parallel chains to achieve the perfect attack and sustain characteristics for a given instrument. Transient shapers allow us to modify the transient and sustain portions of a signal’s envelope in very transparent and discrete ways, without altering the tonal character of the signal. To learn more about this topic, check out the following free video from my new lynda.com course Foundations of Audio: Compression and Dynamic Processing.

Dynamics processors are little more than automatic volume controls, responding to changes in signal level over time. If the input signal’s level meets a specific criteria (threshold) then the processor reacts by changing the output signal level in a prescribed way (turns it down, turns it up, etc). Here’s another clip from my new Lynda.com title Foundations of Audio: Compression and Dynamic Processing. Check it out.

Steven Emerson (Everstudio) and I worked on the music for this Men’s Wearhouse Commercial, extra classy!

I recently mixed this record for my buddy Dominic (aka DJ Goldenchyld). It’s called Future Hop, Modern Day Renegades. Featuring Goldenchyld (of the Bangerz) on the beats and Don Prahfit on the flow. It’s cutting edge underground hip hop and it’s a free download so grab it (download here).
