BUT! do you gain stage after adding the wet signal?

How do i mix the drum signal in parallel inside fL studio

Wait so if its reversed, does that mean the 20 isnt a limiting effect anymore?

You say fastest settings but that attack and release are the slowest settings. Else all good.

How do you set the ratio to all buttons in?

Cool! Side note, parallel compression with 808s on the drum bus always gives me problems, because the 808s sometimes triggered the compression too much.
