Mastering compression on solo acoustic record
I've just finished producing and recording a singer/songwriter's
record where no compression was used in tracking or in mixing by request of the artist. No reverb was added either, by the way. It is a very stark and beautiful recording and I've been very curious to see how it would turn out after not using compression at all to smooth out the hills and valleys etc. Anyway, I will also be mastering it myself, at least for now, and would like to get any tips on how I can use very gentle compression to reel some things a tiny bit without being able to then "hear" the compressor working. I need to have it be transparent, but functional. The artist will freak out if she hears anything squashing her voice or guitar. But I know that some is needed for obvious reasons. I have the Waves C4 and Renaissance compressors as well as a few other basic ones, and I use SawPro on a PC. Please inform if anyone can get me at least started on the right track with a preset perhaps that will do most of the work or any other useful info. Thanks a lot. Todd |
