ABSTRACT
Vocal Compression Secrets One thing about a rock-n-roll vocal is that it often takes a lot of compression to make it stand up in the mix against the heavily compressed drums, bass, and guitars. So solo the vocal track now and set up our trusty old BF76 compressor with the slow ATTACK and fast RELEASE settings at a ratio of 4:1. Now when playing back the track, slowly turn up the input until your meter is showing around −1 dB of gain reduction.
