This article from Sound On Sound lays out an approach to parellel compression in Logic. It works for any instrument, but on drums and vocals in particular, the added character can really bring a track to life. The dynamics in the dry signal are preserved while the compressed signal adds body and character to the overall sound. In its most common implementation, parallel compression refers to mixing a dry signal with a heavily compressed copy of itself. Parallel compression offers a good compromise. However, the effect is most pronounced when the signal is heavily compressed, and over-compression usually kills the dynamics of a performance. This tends to “fatten” the recorded sound, which can add a lot of character, especially on drums and vocals. Like all recording tools, though, compressors have less-obvious uses for shaping sound.Ī compressor raises the level of quieter elements in a signal. Most often, we use compressors to tame the dynamics of a recording.
