There are SOOOO many ways to use compression. I consider Michael Brauer a genius when it comes to mixing with compression. He is unbelievably innovative and has worked long and hard to develop his fantastic technique.
I remember hearing Coldplay's "Violet Hill" and being so impressed with its unique sound only to find out that Brauer mixed it (he's mixed a LOT of Coldplay stuff). I found this article where he talks about the process of mixing this fantastic song. Check it out...

Also be sure to check our Michael Brauer's website and try to read through all of through and contemplate all of his Q&A stuff. WOW!

About Me
- Keith Everette Smith
- I'm a producer, mixer, songwriter. I recently moved from Orange County, CA to Nashville,TN I love making music. It is my means for creative expression. I've been married to my wonderful wife Erin for 7 1/2 years and I have a dog named Dexter.
I ironically spent the night reading Brauer's Q&A before I came across your blog. Talk about a seasoned professional with tons of insight! And he's mixed almost all of my favorite records.
ReplyDeleteHe's the man. Really nice guy. He's got a very New York personality.
ReplyDeleteIt seems his compression methods only really work best outside of the box. Blending compression channels inside a DAW seems to only work to a point. It can still work here and there. I just don't think it works to the degree that it works for him.
