In this Cubase secrets video, Dom Sigalas discusses using parallel compression in Cubase; he asks what is parallel compression and how to use it and saturation for leveling up vocals and to improve your music production with subtly in your face vocals.

Thank you Dom, that's a very cool technique. I will use it in my current mix. Until now I didn't think of using automation on the parallel channel and on top of that to combine everything again in a group channel with a finishing compressor. Very cool! :)

Hi Dom, very interesting but maybe I’m missing a passage: how many compressors are you usin’ at the end in the send channel? I see the tube one in the insert channel but in the send it seems you have three faders opened… 🤔 Thank you for answering, if you can…

thanks great tutorial Dom and steinberg. for the send FX,s (reverb,delay etc) would be prefered to have them on the "all vox" group channel sends or on the "dry" vox channel ?

@mozizo11 2 жыл бұрын

@@bondpeace for me i would have the send FX on the Group Channel, so if i change or automate the volume level as a sum from the group channel the Send fx stay in relative balance to the dry audio.' and also all tracks routed to it (the parallel the dry etc) will get the same send FX level

Hi Dom i have a question with the final compressor you added to he vocal group. i noticed it was still in the dry position as you was moving the threshold, should it be in the mix position or did you leave it in dry for a reason?

@MrMediterrano 2 жыл бұрын

Is there a way to setup side chain compression in a way that it ducks only the frequencies which collide with the frequencies in the control signal?

@LokeyeMC Жыл бұрын

Does release time matter in parallel comprehension for vocals? I've seen others say to set it to the longest time possible. But the more I think about it, it seems the outcome would be identical with short and fast release times.

@eskytube Жыл бұрын

Great video! It really isn't that important, but the word "out" is missing in the title. You sort of get obsessed with details in this line of work. Looking forward to more instructional content. Thanks!

@chrisstaubyn774 2 жыл бұрын

Great job, as usual Dom! Here's a tip. You can actually achieve the same parallel compression simply by automating the mix knob on the compressor. The mix knob adjusts the compressed version in relation to the uncompressed version, which is essentially what you're doing with a compressor on a separate FX track. The limitation doing it this way is that you cannot add FX such as the tube to just the compressed signal.
