Parallel compression is one of those advanced techniques, similar to multi-band compression, side-chaining, etc. that sound like a magic bullet or secret ingredient to pro mixes.

Let’s explore if this is true and when and how to actually use it.

Parallel compression is very powerful, but also dangerous (if not done correctly) and definitely not necessary. It’s another tool at your disposal that some people swear by and others don’t use at all. Understanding it properly will help you make a decision about whether it fits your workflow and style or not.

So let’s talk about if, why and how we use it, what to watch out for and which tools we use.

Let’s also explore some other techniques you could try that didn’t work for us, but are being used by other mixers successfully.
