I rarely leave comments but wow, what a detailed yet simple explanation of parallel compression. I have been wanting to incorporate it into my own mixes bit it seemed a bit daunting. I feel super confident about apply to my own workflow now. Thank you, Dom. You're the best.
Dom, want to add my THANKS to the sea of 'em you've gotten for this video. Applied || compression today on a vocal I'm finalizing, and now it sits perfectly in the mix. Awesome!
For many years I've been using similar techniques on my Cubase mixes, but this video really nails it. Dom, this tutorial is brilliant and really helps explaining step by step how to use compression wisely :)
I did this on some of my tracks I engineered while ago and I never used parallel compression and a friend of mine who is a producer told me about that type of compression and man let me tell ya!!!!! This is golden!
Great stuff as always Dom! I'm revisiting this and correct me if I'm wrong, this works best if processing one track or source. Because your using the fader directly on the pcomp effects channel, anything you route to that bus as a send will be impacted by the vertical faders movement. You'd need to setup another send to pcomp the chorus unless you wanted the exact same settings and intensity you have for the lead vocal.
I am coming back to all your videos, just as if it was a course, and I hope I have not thanked you before or I will look like spamming the videos. To be safe though, thank you "file mou", you are the Alpha & Omega of Cubase.
Hey Dom.. Im so glad I started following your channel. I cant put it in words how you have made Cubase so easy for millions of people out there .. great work.. and thanks a ton😊😊
Thank you Dom, that's a very cool technique. I will use it in my current mix. Until now I didn't think of using automation on the parallel channel and on top of that to combine everything again in a group channel with a finishing compressor. Very cool! :)
A great explanation of parallel compression. I just started to experiment with it this week on drums. I'm guessing I should be using the send as a pre send as well? Thanks Dom!
Hi Dom, very interesting but maybe I’m missing a passage: how many compressors are you usin’ at the end in the send channel? I see the tube one in the insert channel but in the send it seems you have three faders opened… 🤔 Thank you for answering, if you can…
Hi Dom. Steinberg Vintage Compressor and Tube Compressors...just the best. Who needs external plug ins or racks when you have these two fantastic pieces of kit already included in Cubase? Great video too. Cheers.
A/B comparison is required to check whether the contribution from the parallel compression is really helping the mix rather than just adding level. How to do it?
Great video! It really isn't that important, but the word "out" is missing in the title. You sort of get obsessed with details in this line of work. Looking forward to more instructional content. Thanks!
thanks great tutorial Dom and steinberg. for the send FX,s (reverb,delay etc) would be prefered to have them on the "all vox" group channel sends or on the "dry" vox channel ?
@@bondpeace for me i would have the send FX on the Group Channel, so if i change or automate the volume level as a sum from the group channel the Send fx stay in relative balance to the dry audio.' and also all tracks routed to it (the parallel the dry etc) will get the same send FX level
Great job, as usual Dom! Here's a tip. You can actually achieve the same parallel compression simply by automating the mix knob on the compressor. The mix knob adjusts the compressed version in relation to the uncompressed version, which is essentially what you're doing with a compressor on a separate FX track. The limitation doing it this way is that you cannot add FX such as the tube to just the compressed signal.
Great Video, Regards. I have a question - If I want to send a group channel to four different channels in parralel, I mean the single group channel's signal will pass through four different channels at a time which I mean Parralel. Thank you.
Hi Dom i have a question with the final compressor you added to he vocal group. i noticed it was still in the dry position as you was moving the threshold, should it be in the mix position or did you leave it in dry for a reason?
Does release time matter in parallel comprehension for vocals? I've seen others say to set it to the longest time possible. But the more I think about it, it seems the outcome would be identical with short and fast release times.
A bit confused here. I set it up like Dom with FX channel and Pre-fader, I see the amount of gain reduction changes with the send level. I thought the compression on the FX channel would stay constant (per vox channel level) and the send level would just be another kind of wet-dry control. When I reduce the send level, the gain reduction on the compressor goes down with with. Am I misunderstanding?
Hi, could you help me here? I like your stuff. When I import an Audio-File (MP3) into Cubase it changes it automatically in "mono" at least it really sounds like mono, but with 2 tracks, do you know this problem.
The pre fader tip was gold. Top class education.
Thankyou Dom, I would not have understood 'Parallel compression' without this tutorial.

I like this because it lets the vocals the most natural as possible.

You have me opening up and checking mixes I long finished just to see if they could use this. Your tutorials are valuable beyond words.
"little bit of compression to pop vocals" is an understatement
Meister der Tontechnik und ZAUBERER in Cubasis , danke!
Incredibly useful - parallel compression's what I've been missing! Thank you!
The pre post fader saved my life. thx :D
Clearest explanation of parallel compression I've heard...this video made the penny drop..many thanks
I never stop learning from you Dom 🧡 Awesome
Thanks a lot Bro!! Amazing tutorials‼️🙏🏾
Thanks Dom !
Great tutorial! Thanks Dom 😁
Yaa!! You're amazing lots of love from india ❤️

Thanks Dom this is what I've been looking for in my vocal mix.
Great Dom. Perfectly and clearly explained. Thanks a lot.
Amazing tutorial Dom! Will definitely try this out!
Amazing tutorial Bro! Peace!!! ... learnt in 15 min more than last couple of years!
Very helpful video....,...
Thanks Dom 👍
Awesome! ... Respect sir. Thought I was happy with my mixes; this just sent it over the top mate. 👍🏽
Great explanation. Thank You so much! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Automation and excitation on the parallel compression FX channel...who knew?! Simple genius! 🤜💥🤛
Hey Dom.. Im so glad I started following your channel. I cant put it in words how you have made Cubase so easy for millions of people out there .. great work.. and thanks a ton😊😊
Wow that's amazing 👏🏿 thanks again Dom!

This is just great...Thanks Dom
BRILLIANT TIPS.
Thank You Dom 🤩
Beautiful Video Thank You Dom.
Fantastic video Dom. Thanks
Huge! Thanks, steve
Thanks for this one
Thanks Dom this is a really helpful tip for my recorded vocal!
Excellent. Thanks Dom. Just Excellent
Smooth as silk, Dom! pre-fader, who have thought...
A great explanation of parallel compression. I just started to experiment with it this week on drums. I'm guessing I should be using the send as a pre send as well? Thanks Dom!
Such a beautiful vocal!
Wow Dom! What a fantastic video. Thank you very much for it

Big man, Eisai megalos. I love your way of presenting all this useful stuff. Congrats! You are really pushing creativity forward. Dose Pono patrida!!!
Bravo to you! You unlocked the secrets..many thanx
this is the answer to the question on the much later video on the paralel compression guide
Thanks for a great tips Dom!🤝🔊🔥
Cool. Thanks for this tip. Like Vocal Rider by waves.

Awesome vid as usual!
It really good advice, We׳re also love to used in OTT Plugin on vocals it׳s makes the vocal more bright and makes a good sound.
APPRECIATE YOU!🙏❤
This is great tbh. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you!
Great in its simplicity!
Eine sehr sehr gute Sache ...Top
Masterclass!
Great!! Thanks Dom 🤘🏻
Keep up the great work.
Thank you for this video. Great. Can you tell me, which delay you have used?
thank you
Hey Dom, how do we stop the vocal from sounding phased/duplicated/layered? Am I doing something wrong?
thank you so muchhh❤
Thanks so much
Hello Dom, just a short one please; what device do you use for your automation and how do you set it up please
Great!
So simple but so effective 👍
great stuff, where is the full version of this song?
Aweomae videos buddy!
How do you use your streamdeck? Together with Soundflow?
A/B comparison is required to check whether the contribution from the parallel compression is really helping the mix rather than just adding level. How to do it?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no comment segala the best ever.
Thanks for a great explanation!
thanks
Thanks so much!

Super :-) will defo try this
Hello Dom, What would be the difference beween using send in Pre fader VS Direct routing Summing Mode ?
thanks great tutorial Dom and steinberg.
for the send FX,s (reverb,delay etc) would be prefered to have them on the "all vox" group channel sends or on the "dry" vox channel ?
My question too
@@bondpeace for me i would have the send FX on the Group Channel, so if i change or automate the volume level as a sum from the group channel the Send fx stay in relative balance to the dry audio.'
and also all tracks routed to it (the parallel the dry etc) will get the same send FX level

Chris, a fellow group member here. Please let Dom know I'm going to find him and then steal his studio and talent 😂😂

well no comments!!!! master !!!!!!!!!!!!
very interesting! I already had a hard comp FX channel but I could make the vocals sound much clearer with vintagecomp and datube :)
GREAT
Automating pararell channel, this make sense...

Is the audio still stereo but sound mono? If it sounds like mono, check the Control Room on the right corner is it set to mono or stereo.
I use baby audio heart NY great plugin .
ôld but gold
