In this video I go more into my parallel compression technique. Generally speaking I using this as a way to help what was mixing. I give two use case examples where in one I needed the melodics to warm up in the sides and the other to brighten up the overall melodics.
The reason I started using technique on melodics was that I tended to mix the drums a bit too loud and this was a sneaky way of compensating for that.
This technique is always developing and parallel work is becoming a signature. I love shared harmonics be it time based, compression or saturation.
