Yap ! You can also do the total oppossite as puting slow attack and fast release to keep the transient and compress after it , you can also achieve distortion by over pushing the ration and the treshold making it crash a bit and creating a new sound !

Imma take a simple example :

You got a kick , so you got the attack of the kick wich is the TIK the decay - wich is the Tok and kinda pump feeling and the sustain- release wich is the OOMPH you got with a sub or in festival.

 The compressor also has Attack release treshold ratio

The Attack is when the compressor is gonna hit the sound
The release is how long it gonna compress
the treshold is there to say how much you wanna reduce the levels
and the ratio is how much it will reduce when the kick hit the treshold 2-4-10 generally

Personnaly I use compression a lot with drum loops and synth with too much attack

So you got your drop loops , Kick hi hat snare Kick hi hat snare etc

You found that the Kick and the hi hat are good but the snare hit too much
Here you compress it you set your attack really fast because you want the Tik of the snare to reduce but the other thing to keep originally where they was you put the release fast as well as you don't want to affect the other drums
and i usually have a ratio between 2 and 10 , the treshold is for you to set !

It's good to compress group with some Glue compressor like the SSL comp or The glue , as it "Glue" thing together it help have same kind of levels between your thing.

For the master try compressing a bit but not too much overcompressing will flatter your sound and it will sound shit
Otherwise it's for you to try and understand what you can do with it , and remember every compressor is different in a way but work in the same manner

Sorry for the long writing , hope i helped you.

love.

Hey

Look at the high end there's TOO MUCH of it , as well try not layering sounds too much as it get really messy sometimes , as well when the drop comes it feel over compressed and not as loud as the break was , try putting down the volume by a couple of db's in the break and working on the drop mix !

Thanks man ! Haven't really done the mix already in the break and i try playing with fx and sound design a lot as it keep people interested whe there's something new !

You definitly need to rework and Kick and beside 300Hz also you could have more "Air" in the drop synth try adding some high end reverb , otherwise trap is really my style but I kinda like this one ! The sound design is on point congrats

Dude it's awesome ! Wish you worked more on atmosphere kind of sound and Reverb/drum , but it's nice really !

Hey there , hands up to Mat Zo for the forum , here's a thing I'm workin for 2 days now , need some advice for the break , as I'm quite happy with the drop , build ups aren't done at all o don't judge them , otherwise tell what you think !

Might be too stereo try filling the mono space you have otherwise you have some decent idea there keep working on the mix Kick/Bass
