different.Ģ) find a compressor that works well for the chorus track, and then one that works for the verse trackģ) once you mix the track (music), you will open up the automation on both your verse and chorus tracks, and lift words/sections that need it, and lower those that need it.
this will allow you to treat what are generally different levels as such.

Feel free to try one or all and see how they work for you:ġ) split verses from choruses each should have their own track (unless the singer is carrying a very similar energy across the entire track). What I would recommend is similar to some of the replies, with a few additions. It's nice to have those things in the back of your mind (gain stagging, etc), but this is not a hard and fast rule. It definitely sounds like you're a bit caught up in the numbers. It can make a good performance better, and a great. Yes it probably should have been handled in tracking, and yes you might be too caught up on numbers, but frankly this kind of leveling makes almost every vocal sound a little bit more polished and ready. I would think that drawing curves there would be at least a little faster than splitting it up and adjusting each chunk separately. I'll sometimes manually adjust things that are really way off, but then I'll gladly cheat.īut does PT not have a clip gain envelope? It must, if you're talking about recording a MIDI knob. It works best if you set the threshold so that it is almost always doing a little bit, and even better if it's got a soft knee.Ī lot of people will tell you that doing it by hand is the "right way" and everything else is cheating, but when it just works almost all of the time and saves me time and frustration so I can do other, more important things. On vocals I sometimes end up as high as 4:1, but more often down around 2. Attack and Release to 0 (or as low as possible) and then ratio doesn't have to be so big. I use ReaComp, and its precomp parameter tops out at 250ms, so I set RMS to 500, and it works fine on most material. Set RMS pretty long and lookahead exactly half of that. But really those methods are just RMS compression, maybe with some lookahead, and that's how I do it.įind a compressor with a "lookahead" or "precomp" parameter and an RMS parameter.
If you were in Reaper, I know somebody wrote a script that does about the same thing and apply it directly to the take volume (what PT calls clip gain) envelope.
