All the people I've seen use compressors go for that "nice" sound. I want to get my unit to pump in time with my beats like the dance pro producers do.

How I understand it is that you send the grouped drum track to the stereo compressor and compress with the desired ratio. Then I make sure I have the fastest possible attack and release settings. Then I lengthen the release time until the drums pump (suck in and out) then back it off slightly.

This is what I've been doing but can't get it to work. Any advice?

gb,

yes, you can buss stuff in the O1v, and I believe those busses have dynamics...so..you could compress each sound as needed, send it, and compress the subgroup.

you know..I never ONCE tried to make a compressor pump intentionally...am I missing something?

01V busses don't have dynamics unfortunately.

Sarcastic Bastards :-). I only asked some opinions.

Maybe to do this I need:

Pro Tools, Hans Zimmer, the Timo Mass Engineer and Abbey Road Studios.

You don't need protools to do it. But like someone said already some compressors are softer than others. I never got anything pumping with the compressor that came with Cake Pro Audio but then I wasn't trying to back then. With Ozone "Izotope" or Sonictimeworks they pump all the time without any effort really. Last weekend the drums were coming and disappearing, coming and disappearing, coming and disappearing, they were pumping so much. It was more like a doppler effect. Jeez.

hmm... well, we already brought up just about every way to do this. if you still cant crack it, then its time to get an engineer. (or sell your compounder to me!).

cheers, M.
