Books Descriptions
Dynamics processors - often overused and sometimes misunderstood - can make or
break mixing and mastering projects. This book goes beyond explaining how
dynamics processors work by giving essential tips on how their proper application can
help make better music. Written in a clear, practical, non-intimidating style, topics
include how to apply limiters, compressors, noise gates, expanders, maximizers,
saturation, and multiband dynamics, whether in hardware or software form. Loaded
with examples of real-world dynamics processors to explain their similarities and
differences, How to Apply Dynamics Processing ventures further than similar books
by covering dynamics processing with MIDI data, as well as "manual" dynamics
processing done with recording software (phrase-by-phrase normalization for
narration, "micro-mastering" to allow greater apparent volume when mastering,
parallel dynamics, and more). There's also valuable information on how to achieve
the most transparent effects
