Course
Vocal Compression Strategies
Learn to choose, stack, and blend vocal compressors deliberately, from a single gentle pass to serial chains, parallel layering, and bus-level glue.
What you'll learn
Decide when a single compressor is enough and set it by ear
Build a serial chain that splits peaks, valleys, and glue across stages
Layer parallel compression for size, grit, and presence without squashing dynamics
Use bus compression to glue backing vocals and manage the mix bus relationship
About the course
This course builds a complete framework for vocal compression: choosing a single compressor for its tonal character, splitting dynamic work across a serial chain, layering parallel blends for size and presence, and gluing vocal stacks together at the bus level. You'll pick up concrete techniques for setting a single compressor up, pairing a fast compressor with a slow one, EQ placement around compression, and multi-chain parallel blending, walking away able to choose the right strategy for any vocal and context.
