New York Compression: add a loudness EQ to a parallel compressor

In our previous video (   • Waves MV2 on Drums  ) we saw how to use Waves MV2 in #parallel with the #drums group. Today we will see how to take this process even further by adding a bit of a #loudness curve after.

After the compressor we will insert Sonimus Sweetone in the LOUD position which will allow us to add low and high end at the same time, this type of curve is known as loudness curve since it increases the volume perceived by the human ear as it has been described with the Fletcher-Munson curves. As a guide let's say that all you have to do is increase the curve until you feel the transients start to sound sharp, then you may have to turn the knob back a little bit.

This can also be done with a simple equalizer, experienced engineers call it New York Compression, simply use an EQ with a low shelf at 100Hz and a high shelf at 10kHz and increase a few dB on each.
