For this recording I wanted to demonstrate how the WMD Compressor can be used to create rhythmic pumping effects, as found in many modern dance music productions. I sent a recording of a click track - following the "4 on the floor" kick part - into the SIDE CHAIN input of the Compressor.
The first run through the riff is dry. After that, the THRESHOLD is lowered each time the riff repeats, and the RATIO turned up. The is altered at points to affect the "swing" and intensity of the pumping effect.
Settings: The DETECTION switch is set to ADAPTIVE, and the KNEE set to HARD. No INPUT or OUTPUT SATURATION was applied.
