hello there ,
i recorded a singer,and of course when she screams it peaks too high , what settings should i put for the compressor to make it "softer" and balanced with the rest of her singing.
i mean like long/short release/Attack,treshold and ratio settings etc.
thank you |

Can you not get her to record it again and stand back a bit when she screams also with a compressor in the recording chain just in case? |

attack - low as possible
release - at your own taste 50ms will be a good point to start at...
thresh - it depends on how you want your dynamic, but don't go lower then -12
ratio - more then 1/2 try 1/4
but not too much
and use the rms mode not the peak one....
enjoy! and give us a sample so we can hear it... |

you could go with volume automation to compress less or try to compress a lot and see wich one you like the most,try around 6 to 15 db of gain reduction when she sing the loudest and set ratio,attack ,release ,to taste but not too fast or too slow so it don t sound too squashed |
