Get your rock song ready for publishing

pure:comp's learning profiles

First, I start with the drums. They sound a bit too dynamic and thin for a rock song, therefore I place pure:comp on the track and select the drum profile. After learning I increase the compression so that the dynamics are reduced even more and the drums sound full and big.

using pure:verb in the mix to get a full sound

Next I want to work on the guitar in the intro of the track, which sounds a bit bland and choppy. I use pure:verb and increase the size of the computed reverb space to get a full sound. Then, I activate the infinite function which makes the guitar sound very atmospheric and closes the gaps between individual guitar parts.

The drums also need more clarity in the upper frequency range. I load pure:EQ, select the drums and choose the “bright” Style to emphasize the high frequencies a bit more. I don’t want any processing on the lower frequencies, so I’ll exclude them with the range parameter.

sonible's pure:limit in a DAW to balance the dynamics

As a last step, I use pure:limit to balance the dynamics and give the song the right level for publishing. I also increase the inflate parameter to make the mix more dense and vibrant. Now the track is ready for its release!
