Although I love the sound of our UAD compressors, I've got a little problem dealing with the output volume of bass signals.
Example: a bass drum sample played by NI Battery in Cubase SX.
Dry output -1db.
1176 LN inserted into the Battery channel.
Ratio 4:1 or 8:1, Attack/Release fit to taste, compression is about 3 to 5db.
In order to achieve the same sensed loudness with A/B comparison to the uncompressed signal, I got overloads mostly in the attack phase.
Same problem with synth basses. :-k
Should I ignore the peak indicator because of 32bit domain or am I doing something wrong?
