Generally speaking, compression is one of those effects that has countless useful applications. Whether it’s limiting, de-essing,<\/a> or multi-band processing, there’s an incredibly wide array of processes involving manipulating dynamics that employ compression at their core. Parallel compression is yet another one of these applications\u2014below, we examine what it is, how it works, and why you might want to use it in your music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the table of contents below to quickly navigate to a specific section.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat you’ll learn about parallel compression:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
