compression advice please!

Discussion I Made about 3 years ago

i'm recording a demo of something for a friend to listen to. i recorded it on one of those zoom stand alone recording desks and now its in my computer as a wav file.

there seems to be a lot of frequencies which are making it hard to listen to, ie its hurting my ears. usually i mix/eq things in the zoom, but as luck would have it it died right after i recorded this track.

so i'm trying to use audacity to make it listenable. i notice there is a compression tool, with threshold (default -12db), ratio (default 2:1) and attack time (default 0.2 secs) settings.

does anyone have any general advice on how i could use compression to make this thing a bit more listenable? its a bit ''subbey'' sounding and some of the higer frequencies are too piercing. thankyou!

tigers he isn't actually going to put them up. he's just seeking attention for owning some very middle of the road records which he thinks give him some kind of cred. matt prehistoric church.

matt, you were on here at 4.35 this morning, less than five hours later you're back on.

you have a serious problem, aside from your terrible songwriting of course. so you have two problems.

my god, you are such a self adoring (and unjustifiably so) middle aged wanker.

every musician you admire would think you're a try-hard square.

He was probably the best thing about the band after Syd left.

many, is whatever quantity you like, that does not amount to the majority proportion of a particular pool.

i didn't say MOST of them were Modi so don't twist my words to suit your argument (something i've noticed you do quite a bit). I said MANY taxi drivers...
