Dive into serial compression—the technique of chaining multiple compressors to tame peaks, control sustain, and glue tracks while preserving punch. From kick drums to vocals, see how different stages target transients, mid-level dynamics, and overall headroom, and learn when to let source sound do the work versus stacking units. The episode also covers practical tips for home studios, mixing versus tracking compression, and how tools like Sound Stock can provide better source material before you hit the chain.
