Moosmusic - Big Dummy Shake

[pauli]

This one needed lots of compression all over the place, particularly in the lower frequencies. Unfortunately compression is a huge weakness for me... I always seem to overdo it, so I try to use parallel compression wherever I can.

I tried Mike's trick with layered compression in parallel for the vocals, but I don't have the wide variety of compressors he uses, so while the sound is more natural in a way, the blend isn't nearly as good. That's a super cool trick so I'll start amassing more compressors to choose from.

Any input you may have would be very helpful. I started working on this song looking for something easier and more familiar than what I've been challenging myself with lately... bit of a break, yeah?... but found it to be just as challenging in its own ways.

Thanks for listening and any comments
