My "smash compression" post-production audio mastering technique
The way that I master audio files today for my songs is by using what I call a "smash compression" technique. Audio pros would probably consider this a really bad way to master an audio file, but I like the way it sounds and it works for me.
This is how I smash-compress a master audio WAV brought out of the Zoom R8 and into Audacity.
There was a time in the 80s when neon-colored guitars sold fairly well. Has that time come again?
Above is an individual most would consider a rock god of sorts, Randy Rhoads. Was Randy a good player? Yes. But his studio tone was total crap.
