Roland R-07 dual recording post production question ?

<< < (2/2)

beatkilla:
This can be done in post production with a Volume Envelope.I use Sony Vegas so i can't explain the way to add a Volume Envelope in your editor.It's easy.....you add the envelope which is just a line and add 2 nodes before and after the section you want to adust the Volume on.Then you drag the line up or down to adjust the volume in that section you added the nodes to.

Not so with amplified music, in my experience and that of others who are far more expert/knowledgable. Do you have evidence to support your assertion? I don't mean to argue with you, but I've been researching post processing this past winter, and my first inquiry was whether post processing would degrade sound quality. tldr: in a modern, 32 bit DAW, it won't.

Maybe it's more noticeable with acoustic music? But is there a pa?

Parallel compression, which I believe is sometimes called 'new york compression' or 'bottom up compression' preserves a great deal of dynamic range while allowing you to boost quieter sections. You can apply as much as you like, and could reduce dynamic range a lot but that doesn't sound good to my ears. Others here have generously schooled me in using the effect to improve my recordings.
