Hello, I´ve seen a pos in kvr forum talking about a Future Music interview with Alan Parsons where he explains that he doesn´t like using compressors on every track (nor he does on drums!!) ... What do you think?
"[FM] We live in the era of the heavily compressed and limited mix, but you don't work that way.
[AP] It's a style thing...To some people it's important. To me it's not particularly vital. I'd much rather have increased dynamics at the expense of a bit of percieved volume...
But it's not as if I don't use compressors; I certainly do. I would never think of recording a vocal without compressing it...and I usually add some compression to bass...I also prefer not to use compression on drums..."
