I used compression for the first time. I mean I have tried it before but I am terrible at it so I never kept it. But this time it seemed to do what I wanted so I kept it. Now I'm not sure and I can no longer remove it. Lesson learned, next time I experiment do it on a copy so I have time to decide if it worked or not. so here's the thing, it did help make subtler portions more discernible. but it also seems to have flattend the dynamics too much. I am sure this is because I am not good at using it. I think I will record a new version of the song and compare the two and see what happens.
