in control with sudden squeeze

The pumping compressor that you can hear on some of my songs, is made with my Bigmuff. You can blend in a fuzz, into the compressor, and make pretty cool effects. Its kind of difficult to the settings right.The Sustain control optimizes the long sustain with just the right amount of harmonic distortion. I like to keep the sustain close to zero.

The music on the album is played very dynamic. I wanted the album to kind of flow, so I used a lot of compressors both at the pre-amp stage, the mix and in the mastering. At the mixing stage, they were mostly used as limiters.
