Default Multiband Compression: Fast Attack and Fast Release usually Best?


It seems to me that this would be the case, especially
if you are using the compressor as a soft peak limiter.

Doesn't having a too slow release make the mix sound
a bit funny, like the gain is pumping?

And too fast release can have similar effects on any sustain/decays.

I never got into much compression or eq on the two track masters. It took buying a GML 8200 eq and a Manly vari mu compressor. In this day of automated mixes I found it better to go back and remix if the song needed more than 2or 3 dbs of highs or much compression.
