🎚️ FabFilter Pro-C 2 compression modes explained. • Clean – Ultra-transparent, feed-forward control. Use for: general leveling on any track where you don’t want to “hear” compression. • Classic – Vintage, feedback style that adds a bit of bite. Use for: 80-/90-era drum glue, electric bass or guitars that need extra edge and mid-range punch. • Opto – Slow, soft-knee, opto-like response. Use for: smooth vocal or pad breathing, gentle glue on guitar or string buses. • Vocal – Auto-ratio/knee algorithm tuned to bring voices forward. Use for: quick control of lead vocals, backing vocals, podcasts or voice-overs. • Mastering – Fast yet near-invisible, minimum harmonic distortion. Use for: final mix/master chains or stem mastering when absolute transparency is critical but fast transients still need catching. • Bus – Program-dependent compression that adds cohesive “glue.” Use for: drum, instrument or mix buses; parallel “NY” compression to thicken drums. • Punch – Firm attack with classic analog feel. Use for: snares, toms, percussion or funky bass lines that need smack while keeping transients intact. • Pumping – Heavy, exaggerated gain swings. Use for: EDM/house drums, big room kicks, or any creative side-chain effect where obvious pump is the goal. @natemixing

Must. Resist.

Recording wind in trees/foliage. Placing the Rycote BBG’s between twigs and having the fur work as a mount is great. Here Im using DPA4061’s in the BBG’s. Same technique can be used for wind in vegetation, placing the Rycotes in grass, reed etc. New @sonicsalute sounds coming up

I recently made a non-music playlist on Spotify featuring lots of great artists who work in that field. I included songs from my debut EP in there too. I had such a blast compiling this sound journey of a playlist. Here's the link... open.spotify.com/playlist/6u75y…

Today, I made four microphones using Primo EM272 and EM258, spending around CAD140/USD105. These are the same electret capsules used in LOM and SO microphones. #GameAudio #sounddesign #fieldrecording

.@_RobRosenthal loves European audio storytelling, but sometimes thinks "what was that about?!" He says the problem isn't the storytelling, it's his American ears! On this @soundschoolpod, Alan Hall, of @FallingTreeProd, helps Rob listen in a new way. bit.ly/3pIzDV4 @prx

Old but useful trick with Sony PCM D100 and Rycote BBG #rycote #sounddesign #fieldrecording #sonypcmd100 #soundeffects

Hello game audio community! I was lucky enough to win a fantastic prize at @GameAudioSympos last weekend, thanks to the generosity of @sonnissdotcom! I've been a sound designer for a long time, and I'd prefer to give this prize away to a audio student or new freelancer.

There were lots of comments about a Vintage Sound FX Library recently being uploaded to Freesound, as it contained the original recording of the Wilhelm scream. I've been having a good sift through all of the sounds and I found one that is more iconic to me... 1/n

Finished a hardware upgrade for my TANK RESONATOR/giant Waterphone - the bass frequencies from the long threaded rods is delicious! (nice crop of peas in the background too!) physical #sounddesign
