Re: Mastering compressor that doesn't take away the air

Are you also mixing?

For mastering, you have the amount of gain reduction right. 1dB, and only sometimes reaching 2dB reduction. Did you also turn the compressor sidechain way up to the mids? If not, do that.

Slow attack, releasetime auto or short. Tweak to taste. Play with wet/dry. With any bus compressor you own, try a few. Ssl clones work well. Also try Fircomp. It's free and amazingly transparent.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a try.
