that is interesting....emsley wrote:compressing won't do a thing for unpleasant harmonics, it will only accentuate them if anything, unless you're using am multiband compressor, which is much further down the road when coming to grips with dynamics processing.
if you have a graph with the level of each frecuency...you will see that the "unpleasant harmonics" that are really loud, stand as peaks...
if we say that the overall level is relative to the integral of the graph...meaning the area below the curve...
and this harmonics...since they are very particular frecuencies, are thin peaks in the graph...so...they can easily outstand the rest of the curve without having to increase the overall level, and you can have a really strong tone there, so...limiting that would only lower the music and leave the harmonics equally strong...
i think for the harmonics the eq with high q is a really good option...
there are other options...some devices that detect those outstanding frequencies and instantly lower that frequency, but i didnt see any software doing that...it's like a de-esser that automatically detects the annoying freq
When those freqs are out of the map...then compress all you waaant!! to get that matthew dear sound (i think a compressor with auto gain would also help very much)
well, i hope this helps...
P.S. in my track "prueba de sonido parte b" which i left to download...you'll se that, not only i didn't mind for getting rid of annoying harmonics...but i added them heheheh yeahh!!! im so evil!! :twisted:
dont worry, you'll not get deaf...if you listen to it once
