I often get asked if it’s possible to restore dynamics to a heavily limited, clipped or compressed source, to achieve a more dynamic master. The answer is… it’s complicated ! So in this episode we do our best to answer the question. Topics include:
Why you shouldn’t do this
When you might have to do this
When doing this is a bad idea
How to do it (the simple way, the complicated way and the really messy way)
How compression can sometimes add dynamics
What these techniques can never do
