Hi IK/Forum,
Having recently upgraded to the full Tracks5 suite,some time spent browsing through the range of preset mastering chains reveals the use of compression devices in a parallel mode,across for example a Pultec style EQ or Linear Phase EQ.
Could any of the more experienced forum members advise on what the engineering logic and merits are of these configurations please?
Not a facetious question by the way,genuine technical commentary is sought here.I can't see any connection here with,for example,the well known New York parallel compression method where separate audio feeds are treated differently.In these cases,we appear to be taking some of the same signal feed through equalisation and some through a dynamics processor.
All comments welcome,and especially instances of when best to use these type of configurations.
Thanks!
