compression.

This is a good start. The program is different, but the basics are there and can be transferred to any program.

FL Studio Tutorial - Compressor / Compression & EQ

Doesn't really teach what you want to learn necessarily but it does give a REALLY good idea of how compression works.

And if you're on Acid, get WAVEHAMMER. Its essential.

Wavehammer is not essential, but it helps.  Another great thing to use is a limiter.  I would recommend using a bus for your instrumentals and compressing each bhangra track individually.

Also, look into a host of vst applications for compression and sound.

I run sound forge, but im assuming the wave hammer vst identifies the DB of the highs in the mix?



I personally choose from 3-4 atm for my mixes.


There is a host of information to be learned.  I started a couple weeks back to google all the respective things that go into compression, eq'ing, limiting, and a host of touch up devices that go into mixing.  Helps a lot.

Essentially, it limits whatever track you put the effect on (traditionally the master) to 0dB. And with the volume maximizer, you just adjust your threshold (from knowledge about how much the song peaks) to get a perfect level. I run an external compressor usually so with wavehammer, I bypass the compressor and just use the maximizer).

I use aradaz.  Same principle, and a very easy and slick control.

Go to program files, then go to sony, shared plugins, and audio.  Paste the extracted file. Go here

then add the folder to your acid.  You can go from there.
