11 MINICOM COM800 DEUTSCH 4. THE MINICOM IN PRACTICE Typically, music production comprises three steps: the actual recording as well as the mix and mastering processes. First of all, individual signals are recorded. In a computer-based production environment this means that each instrument is recorded on a different track.
12 MINICOM COM800 4.2 Giving instrument s more presence Compressors are most often used to optimize the levels of individual signals during recording or mixing. When doing a mix you have surely noticed at some point or other that it is difficult to control the volume of some signals.
13 MINICOM COM800 DEUTSCH These limits must be exploited fully to achieve maximum volume in a production. However, uncompressed signals have a great number of transient signal peaks, which can be significantly louder than the average signal level. These signal peaks represent the maximum limit to which the level can be raised.
