PROTOOLS MIX - MIDI

I didn’t have to do too much in ProTools for these tracks as I completed the mixing in Ableton. However, I noticed with the bass instrument that the first couple of notes had a harsh attack and you could basically hear the sound of when the note on the keyboard was pressed. I had tried to fix this in Ableton by turning the attack time right down on the instrument but it still didn’t work. I decided to automate some compression to work only on these first couple of notes as it smooths out later in track. I set the threshold very high, almost as if no compression was being applied. It sounds very subtle but after using the master bypass to turn it on and off, as well as using my lecturer as a second pair of ears, it had the desired effect as I only wanted it for the transients and not the whole audio.
