The L1 is excellent for just that purpose. I think people "misuse" it expecting it to be a compressor: leveling wide dynamic differences as opposed to catching peaks. One thing about controlling transients. In the context of the full mix, are the transients in question causing a problem? There could be other elements helping those transients to blend in. 🤔
Nice I've been using my rack mount Drawmer 1973 with an ART rack limiter on my master bus in the same way where it still sounds nice and open I think I like it. I'm working on retracking my song Horrific because my last mix was pretty horrible due to a lot of different mistakes I made while tracking then compounding problems during mixing then add a few table spoons of inexperience. Lol the good thing is by listening to you and David from Mixbus TV you guys really help me a lot. Thank you you're awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for another great lesson, this took me too long to figure out on my own. May I request in a future video that you demonstrate setting compression for various sources, such as kick drums, snares, guitars, bass, and synthesizers? I think this would be an awesome lesson for many including me.
I like to use my trusty SPL Transient Designers, elongating or diminishing them adjusting the attack and mix levels to dial them in just where I want them.
Other way is using a clipper, it sounds more open you can still combine it with a limiter, doing small mount of change in each stage is better ITB, but if it sounds good it sounds good
They are great. I wouldn't say they are "the best". They are as good as some others. But, these ones maybe the best for YOU! Because you used to them and know how they sound. That's very important to know your tools.
I’m not I would ever use it in reverse. If I’m limiting the signal and dramatically reducing and removing the dynamic range what would the compressor do? Use a compressor first gently reducing peaks then using a limiter to catch just the stray ones that need additional treatment is always the way I would work
I don't miss those early digital days with those harsh digital transients! I personally love what Tape, Transformers and Tubes (Valves) did to round out, naturally, those horrible spiky transients!
@@theladyfingers___ key is balance. you don't want to brickwall 10Db on the master, but you also shouldn't leave the transients just for the sake of it - because they might be distracting. "Songs Of Experience" by U2 is a great example, dynamics are there but no excessive transient energy.
What are your tips and tricks to controlling transients? Share with me below!

Nice! Thanks! Loving these "shorts,"
Thanks Danny!

Sounds like a chilled version of 'Bohemian Like You', Dandy Warhols...
Haha always thought it sounded like the Stones to me!
@@Producelikeapro Brown Sugar is what I hear. Have a nice day.
TY So much and happy news year
Awesome! I've been using this technique, is really great!
I do this with EVERY buss including the master. 2 db of light comp and then a brickwall limiter catching the extreme peaks. Works for me. 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks ever so much Michael!
Interesting, will try it !
Gotcha! Thanks!

WAVES PLUGINS ARE THE BEST FOR MIXING!!! i use the JJP - jack jospeh puig series and they ROCK.. instead of puttin in chains this plugins work good.
Thanks for sharing!

Neat trick.
Thanks ever so much!
Agree👍👍👍👍
Now I know it! You reminded me of an actor the whole time.. it's Bruce Campbell! You really look like him😍 Thanks for the content!💋
It was bugging me where I had heard that riff before. Then I remembered, it sounds like bohemian like you slowed down.
do that on voice (journalism) every day editing for TV
Thanks for sharing Diego!
This is how I use serial compression on rap vocals
When would you use this in reverse to do the same thing? Limiter first, compressor second

Limiters are a TRUE secret weapon...
Why so small window?
These are UA-cam #shorts which are primarily designed for people on the Cell Phone
Woohoo hoo.
I miss the days when mastering left the transients in.

@@Producelikeapro Sure, but most modern releases have almost no percussion impact thanks to brickwalling.
