Original Message 1/14 23-Nov-01 @ 06:28 PM - processing indiv. tracks offline
sometimes I'll open up individual tracks in my wave editor to reduce noise or do some roll-off, but I usually leave compression to when I'm mixing all my tracks together in VST....
is there any problem with doing compression (like, for punchiness of drum tracks) offline, or is there a need to adjust the compression of indiv. tracks while listening to the whole mix?
I'm trying to save my CPU for more fun stuff.....

no offense, it's just kind of a dumb question...

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

I was been thinking that my compression settings would come out different if I was listening to the track alone.... knowa, your suggestion about just copying the settings from listening to the mix is a good one....
one time I tried compressing each track individually (to punch up all the levels) without checking the full mix in between the processing... when I was done, the full mix hit me in the face. it was so upfront and very tiring to listen to, because everything was so max'ed out...
I just gotta take my time and not be so heavy-handed about it....
I ate so much at Thanksgiving I Dunlap'ed over my beltline......
can I get a sponge on a stick, please?

but...for something to sound all good on its own is one thing, and in the mix is another...
things like compression etc are mix dependent I think.

so, I've been looking for ways to do some of my processing (like compressing and roll-off EQ) offline.....
of course, I could process each track from within Cubase - making a "mixdown" of one track with the compression that I like, and then just use that.... hmmm... maybe I'll do that. less switching around....
I'm still putt-putting along with a PII.... ugh
