5 Ways to Compress Drums in a Mix
Compression is the process of lessening the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal. The primary reasons for placing a compressor on drums are to prevent stray peaks and to even out the player dynamics.
First, the setting should be fast enough on the attack to catch the peak of the drum, but not too fast that we lose our punch. As for the release, we want to preserve the natural dynamic of the drums. This method will keep transient bursts under control as well as even out each measure a bit.
