Hi, I've searched all over and can't find the answer to this question, not even in the "definitive summary of effects" thread. I would like to add multiband compression to one track. For the purpose of a clear example, let's say a kick drum. The advantage of using this compressor over the "dynamic" or "guitar" compressor would be the level of tweakability over various frequencies. My questions therefore are:
1) Can I do mastering of just a kick drum track?
2) Does the kick drum track need to be in stereo for the mastering process?
3) Can I monitor the effect of the compression on the kick drum within the song mix and make adjustments in real time?
4) Without the use of a computer, can that mastered track be easily imported back to the song if there are tracks available?
I know I will want to use compression, and I have been looking at external compressors to perhaps make my life easier. But if I can more or less easily use the mastering compression instead of buying a quality external compressor it could be something to really consider.
