Compression for tone
#AudiotentTip 163. Compression for tone.
When EQ doesn’t work, try reaching out for a compressor. As well as altering the dynamics, a compressor can also shape the tone of the sound. This is especially true for vintage style of compressors such as the Fairchild 670. The sound is passed through tubes, transformers and countless other components. This ads great tone and texture to the source signal.
