I find compression first gives a fuller signal of audio and allows me to hear the problem areas easier

[RhythmWalkerKS]

Do both: subtractive before, additive after, then compress again.

My usual chain:

EQ > Compress > EQ > Compress > Limit

[OfficialMarcShaw]

Also stepp is before you at do anything make sure you listen to the whole vocal dry for any hidden problems

[UncleBenjs]

Dont forget that a compressor can also act as an eq/timed eq. The faster the attack the more it attenuates shorter wavelengths ie high frequencies

[jthegod]

Compression is primarily controlling dynamics not boosting, that’s a secondary benefit. All that to say, if the incoming signal isn’t too problematic, compression first is worth considering

[thepoeticpiper]

Im new in mixing and learning a lot from these guys... 🥇

[vgm_composer]

A Japanese engineer lead me to Devvon. Been tuning in ever since

[TheLendingSide]

I agree, ever since I began EQ first the vocals are more clear and easy to handle

[MyFeltMusic]

In audio engineering school, it’s subtractive EQ then compression.

[BadMoneyUk]

Always EQ before compression but I’ve never de-Essed before my initial compressor… I like this logic though, totally makes sense how you put it, I’m gonna try it out. Nice one

[creator.season]

Some compression can present different harmonics to the sound after the EQ has been added first as well so it just depends for me.

[jamervsmerf]

Boom 🎯🎯🎯keep these shorts coming brada

[famusaaa]

100% agree not including the outboard gear to track vocals

[AaronOverEverything]

This was short form 🔑 if you have ears.. good shit

[mskprepares]

Never thought of it quite like that. Respect

[maximustheproducer]

NICE MR SCIENTIST DEVON GOOD ENGINEERING! THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE!

[lukasrossmann]

(Autotune>) Eq> compress > desser > Eq > limiter

[jjoseify]

Compression squishes everything together. Doesn’t really care what you like or don’t about the signal. I like to eq and de-s after for a precise look at that I’m doing. Obviously you can do what you like though 👍

[RolandDeschain]

I'll sometimes put a de-esser after each compressor on a vocal.

[vcheri]

I get exactly what you saying, I know a lot of others compress first but if u doing bedroom vocals u better be eq-ing first. Lol. Unless u got a solid studio booth
