Both have their uses.

I know but some people have their preferences to use one over the other and that's the basis of this post.

I am aware of that, and was replying with my opinion on the matter.
You could always incorporate a poll in the OP to find out people's choice?

Ohh. I gotcha. Sorry I didn't catch that. I wasn't sure on how to do that but I see that one was made.

This is like asking beer or wine. I like both for different reasons.

Serial is one slightly compressed signal into another compressor?

he means just putting it directly in the chain on the channel your working with.Genevieve wrote:Serial is one slightly compressed signal into another compressor?

use the first one to tame the peaks, then send the signal into the second one which is most likely one that has a nice character but would start pumping if you didn't catch the peaks with the first one.
well then he's using the wrong wordsbassinine wrote: he means just putting it directly in the chain on the channel your working with.

Yeah, but you all are right. It's basically parallel compression on one channel. Light into heavy comp.hasezwei wrote:yea.Genevieve wrote:Serial is one slightly compressed signal into another compressor?

question: if i had a compressor with a dry/wet knob on it...and i pulled the knob to about 50% or whatever. would that now be parallel compression ?

Technically, I think so, but I tend to think of parallel as 100% dry with extra compressed signal running along side (parallel) of the dry. It's purpose is to retain some dynamics of the original sound but also make it more full or fat.shakas wrote:question: if i had a compressor with a dry/wet knob on it...and i pulled the knob to about 50% or whatever. would that now be parallel compression ?

i mean, yeah, that would be parallel. unless the compressor processes the dry signal is some way... some compressors will color the sound a bit if i'm not mistaken.OfficialDAPT wrote:Technically, I think so, but I tend to think of parallel as 100% dry with extra compressed signal running along side (parallel) of the dry.

the benefit of setting up a separate channel for parallel compression would be that you're able to process the dry and wet signal differently, with an eq for example
