You might wonder which type of compressor “style” you should use on your audio - the 3-band or the full-band compressor. An overall “rule” is that if you're working with a source that has wide frequency ranges with large peaks in specific areas of the entire frequency, you might want to use the 3-band mode. If on the other hand you're working with audio that is within a small frequency area, like a trumpet section or a group of backup singers, you can with great advantage use the full-band mode.

Let us dive into a few more specific application scenarios to give you an idea of what you can achieve with the different compression styles.


3-band compression on Bass
If you where to do a 3-band compression on a bass, this would allow the higher frequencies to pass through, while you add compression to lower frequencies. What this gives you is better control and longer sustain, and a more punchy bass with all the overtones intact.

3-band compression on grouped sources
If you've grouped several sources together and want to do a “global” compression, the 3-band mode can be very effective. It will give you more transparency in your overall mix as you can do independent compression to each of the three frequency bands.

Full-band compression on vocals
You probably know that “in-your-face” kind of airy vocal that you hear on some tracks? Well, the way to get that effect is by using a full-band compressor on you vocal track, slowing the attack time, and speeding up the release time. It's pretty simple when you know how to do it.

Full-band compression on Guitar
It's amazing how some tonal instruments can get a very percussive quality to them when the right type of effect is applied. Using a full-band compressor on a rhythm guitar will give you a sound that is sharp, sweaty, funky and really emphasizes the rhythmic and percussive qualities of your track.
