Hey guys, so I recently switched of FL Studio and switched to maschine and have been loving it so far minus a few road blocks.
I am working on a beat and on the group settings you can add eqs and effects and what not to the whole group or you could do individual sounds whatever you like i'm sure maschine is not the only type of beat making software that allows this.
Anyways I have a drum compressor on the drums group so it effects all the drums I'm using and I was doing something where I accidentally removed or muted the compressor off the group it made my drums sound a whole lot less cloud/muddy and overall just like fat and too beefed up sounding I guess.
This could be for a number of reasons of course but I am just assuming it was the compression.
I've heard people say they love compression and then I have heard people say that outside of side chain compression they don't use it because its too much of a crutch and tends to make things muddy and cloudy, kind of similar to what I noticed. i was curious as to what you guys think about compression and how/if you apply it to your drums and what not?
