The dynamic saturation is the cherry on top, helping tame transients that passed through the compressor's gentle attack phase.
Tips & Notes:
- I keep gain reduction between 1-3db usually. The dynamic saturation should do a bit more after the fact, so adjusting the drive amount is important.
- Attack timing for this preset achieves desired result between ~20-40ms. Relaxing the attack phase lets the saturation handle more transients even though it's tied to the overall compression amount.
- For the first stage release, ~40-60ms is the minimum I go as to avoid hearing pumping or unintended distortion.
- Sometimes the sidechain rotator (φ) can alter the shape of low end transients too much, you can disable it in this case.
- "Inverse ratio", "Feedback" & "Relaxed" all help create a smooth compression effect. "Relaxed" slightly increases the amount of compression, but in a relaxed way.
- I find keeping the dual stage attack & release the same value useful. The dual stage dynamics seem to behave more consistently this way & can help avoid endless fiddling with combinations of the two values. 2s is a sweet spot for me.
- "Attack mix" reduces the effectiveness of the first stage attack, which is already intentionally slow, so it's not that useful in this specific preset.
- Experiment & Enjoy!
