#105: Mastering Macro Dynamics with Upward Compression and a Personal Travelogue

Ever scratched your head trying to figure out what upward compression is all about? Or maybe you're stuck in the macrodynamics vs. microdynamics maze? Then check out EP 105 of the Inside The Mix podcast.

Ready to unlock the secret to mastering a song with upward compression? In this episode, you'll get an in-depth understanding of how to control macro dynamics in song mastering, and you'll walk away with new skills that will level up your music production game. I, your host Mark Matthews, will guide you through the essentials: setting attack and release times, adjusting thresholds, and making up for gain reduction. We'll tackle how to adjust output gain to get the perfect loudness levels and use a 60dB slope at 80Hz to prevent the compressor from being triggered by low-end information.

But it's not all technical talk! I'll also let you in on some personal escapades. Hear all about my week-long holiday in Devon, the latest additions to my growing movie poster collection, and an incredible memorabilia shop I stumbled upon in Barnstable.
