@@thettmtt The compressor is over the whole mix but listening to a boosted mid range, the compressor is reacting mostly to the exaggerated mids, this helps to drive the mid range to the front of the mix while leaving the bass and top end alone. This way the compressor will not bite down on the mid range when a kick hits and will not effect the transients of the top end. He treats his kick with limiting before it sums with the drum buss, so when it hits the stereo buss, he doesn't want to/need to touch it. From other videos he shows how he does this in mid/side too where the dangerous comp can be in dual mono mode - that really exceeds the scope of the video in that way he can get the mid range in the middle to come forward and get the side top end to sparkle. He does show in a different video how he does do this with FabFilter Multi-band, where he compresses the mid range, then uses upward expansion on the bass and the topend bands where the top-end's detector is from the bass region. Luca is the man.
You should NEVER EVER use a multiband compressor for mastering music. *UNLESS* you are de-essing the 5 kHz to 7kHz range only! For example, using FF Pro MB to dip harshness, etc.

Everytime I see a Luca video its nothing but Knowledged bombs . Thanks
man.. i am mixing now for almost 20 years. But Luca makes me feel like a puppy. Respect and thanks Mister Pretolesi
Thanks Luca ! :)
Nice use of the sidechain access. Good to see someone actually use a compressor well on UA-cam
Thanks Dangerous, Thanks Luca!!
Thankyou Professor! Good stuff!
So much Audio Culture !
This track is a banger
Noize suppressor cap!!! ❤❤ hardcooree!!
The compressor engaged is several dB louder than when disengaged. Everybody knows louder sounds better including you, Dangerous.
LOL... (pretends to be surprised 😮)
That is percieved loudness, that is the affect of the mid range compression, it's not louder on the meters
Luca the legends
L'idea c'è! Bravo
Wow, he use S1? what about Logic?
is not using logic no more at least since 2016 - 2017
Help me to become a professional engineer
Lol at that massive volume jump when engaged. Does dangerous think they're selling this to idiots?

Why not just use a multi band comp then?
His compressor is listening to the mids but still compressing the whole mix. A multi band compressor would affect each band differently.
