Sure but technically speaking because you’re triggering the compressor with only the highs, the decay is MUCH shorter due to the mids not having a tail like the bass in the kick drum. Has pretty much the same effect since the compressor is not working when the bottom end of the kick is audible. Try it out… it’ll give you pretty much the same sound as splitting into two bands and processing separately.

I see. I can see there is still more for me to learn about a compressor. I didn’t think that decay time of a sound came in to play with the GR and that that was just handled by the release settings of the comp itself…so much to learn (and unlearn!).
PS I’ve been digging your podcast. Great music!
Very good!

nice one, I appreciate!
Thanks for these kind of tutorials!!! we need more like this! Trance is life!
Re-subscribed to do this tutorial - I love the track. Protoculture wasn’t joking when he said that he wouldn’t cover the basics - I had to replay some sections a few times. I learnt so much from it - multiple layers of compression, use of distortion, pitch sweeps, mid/side processing etc. I didn’t have any Fabfilter plugins, but used Izotope ones instead. My effort is here, done in Studio one - Trance track - Asphalt - Protoculture - YouTube

Such a valuable resource. It’s great to get some inside advice on a genre that seems to get swept under the rug by a lot of tutorial sites. Top class!
good informative videos
Great stuff! Loved how we went from the very beginning to the end. It framed the workflow in a way I finally understand.
This tutorial brought me back from break, awesome tutorial. One of the best on the site.
Great tutorial honestly!
Helpful!
Nice tutorial! I like that you skipped on the more basic stuff to get into the more advanced technics. Cheers!
