Obviously I know this differs on a track to track basis but I'm trying to get a gauge on the average amount used for a standard rap beat with a professional sound.
I usually just use one on the master channel using the complete mix preset at 9 db gain, and sometimes I'll add a multiband compressor with the 6 db mastering preset.
I have no issue with getting the compression right on my individual instruments, I'm just not sure about the master track. By the way I'm not looking to get a pumping sound or anything out of it, just simple compression to glue the tracks together.
So how much compression do you guys tend to use on overall mix. How many compressors and how much compression?
