The Fat Fader Trick - TheRecordingRevolution.com

Uploaded by recordingrevolution on Aug 4, 2011
This mixing technique will help you get a fatter drum and bass sound and give you full control over it with a single fader. One of my personal favorite "tricks" in the mix.

Hi Graham, may I ask what kinda computer are you using? I just got my first copy of Protools ever (PT10) running on a 3 Ghz dual core PC and it's not very capable of running many tracks at 24/96. Sonar was way more capable, but didn't sound as tight and clear.

I'm currently going to college in Hollywood for Audio Engineering and out of all the instructors there, you teach way better, logical, and what you show is simply amazing, and I've been there a year now. My hat is off to you sir. You just got a dedicated viewer! :D
-
This is awesome! But I don't think it's affecting the snare much. Doing great things for the kick and bass though!
-
Ah of course! Never tried this with anything else than the kick. Time to do just that!
On another note, interesting how the attack/release of this compressor seems to be wired backwards (slowest when knob turned full left).
-
is this any different than parallel compression? would using both be overkill or even necessary?
-
Well, i think u should very simply boost some dbs to the bass and thats it....
-
@recordingrevolution: Is the track on the his album "Our Great God"? Did you record and mix this whole album yourself?

What version of pro tools do you use? I've been using cubase for years and I dig the insert automation functions it has and I like the grid/editing functions but i hate the way the mixer is set up. And that is where I find I spend most of my time. I like Pro Tools, Logic, DP, even Sonar's mixer. It has all of the inserts, sends, input, and output right there. I wanna run PTHD8 on my G4. Does Pro Tools allow automation of most send/insert parameters, including plug-in parameters?

@FriendNotFoeBand I'm currently on Pro Tools 10. Yes, you can automate just about any parameter in Prro Tools, including all plugin parameters.

Hi,
Can't do this in Cubase 5. Here's what I do.
I create a grouptrack and with "send" I send snare kick and bass prefader to the grouptrack, working so far!
On the insert of the grouptrack I put a compressor for heavy parallel compressing.
And now the part that I don't understand.
How can I solo the grouptrack without hearing the audio from snare kick and bass also going to my main audio out?
I just want to hear the compressed grouptrack and I don't want to turn my faders down.

@StayFunKey You would need to make your kick/snare tracks PRE FADER sends to the fat fader track.
