Stereo Tool

G'day everyone!

Does anyone know a way I can make transients a lot quieter without crushing them with the advanced limiter? I'd like to do this mainly just because a lot of 80s snares tend to stick out a lot in the mix.

All comments are appreciated.

And... because they stick out a lot in the mix. I think I made myself pretty clear? If you want an example of what I'm after, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqEOZ ... BVWVhHWDQ/.
Not an 80s song, but has a strong snare punch. I'm not really looking for something as squashed as that, but reasonably similar. I used the 'limit' controls in the 'multiband compressor' tab to squashed the snare out of the mix a bit, but it definitely didn't sound the same.

You could also do some singleband limiting. That will also get rid of some punch. (Note: I have not yet listened to the recording, am working on my laptop so it wouldn't be very useful).

How this sounds to you?
FM de-emphasised output 50us.
It's Very loud! Doing some tests with clipper and stuff..

@Bojcha - Interesting, what is the calculated dBr of this test?
Also interested to know how much work is being done in the MB vs clipper?

Yeah, ended up doing this actually. Really liked the sound of the analog singleband limiter on 1.0 speed so I left it. Sounds awesome to me!
