Starting point for parallel compression:
Set the threshold for -50 dBFS, ratio to 2.5:1,
attack to the fastest (microseconds), release to
mid, around 250-300 ms (adjust to taste if you
hear breathing or pumping). The makeup gain
governs the amount of compression.
Graphic 21: effect of parallel compression
Graphic 21 shows the effect of Parallel Compres-
sion on the transfer curve (upper graph). Lower
levels are raised while higher levels are not
much affected.
