Getting consistency compressing 808s
Somebody was having a problem getting two 808s to work together consistently so here are a few ways that I may tackle that kind of problem. ======================= Consistency compressing my 808 (from Skool) Hey, guys. I'm working on a beat I made and there's a combo of two 808s that come in and out to make up my 8 bar pattern. The one I need help with is pretty inconsistent, definitely needs that consistency style of compression, but I can't seem to get it to even out. I've run into this problem before with other beats, but I really want to get this right. I' tried using a single compressor as well as serial compression until each instance it plays had the same amount of gain reduction. I'm pretty sure I have way too many on there now. There's like seven, but the gain reduction is all under 2 dB. I tried using a slower release time still on tempo when I did the serial compression. It did get the other parts to the same level, but the last section is still noticeably louder. I haven't tried it with the faster release time, but before I spend days more on this, I thought I'd come ask you guys for help. ======================== The way I approach problems with multiple kicks or 808s is to first isolate which one is causing the problem by deciding which one is the main one, and which one is supporting the main sound. How does the original recording sound before doing anything or adding plugins? Does each one sound good and consistent in quality? Next, I mute the secondary sound and determine if the main sound is consistent throughout the whole song or has any problems such as vanishing or fluctuations in different sections. EQ and multi-band harmonic saturation can be helpful. A big part of kicks and 808s are the length of the decay too.Timing your decays can help tremendously with the groove and prevent low-end tails from smearing the groove. Does the drum groove need tightening, or maybe stretched out a bit? A combination of clip-gain volume edits and envelope shaping will go a long way to helping create a stable low-end even before using compressors, clippers, limiters, etc. Clippers and compressors can be used to control the attacks and increase the perceived loudness of the sound.

I'm working with a hip hop producer who is around 40 but wants to inject and blend old-school with new and it's feels great. Never throw away what came before. Just add it to your toolbox.
