💡 Pro Tip
For classic SSL mix bus glue, set the ratio to 4:1, attack to slow, release to auto, and threshold to catch 2 to 4 dB of gain reduction on the loudest peaks. Enable the sidechain high pass filter around 80 to 100 Hz so the kick and bass do not trigger the compressor too hard, keeping the low end tight while the compressor adds cohesion and punch to the rest of the mix. This is the sound like a record setting that works across rock, pop, hip hop, and electronic music.
