   • Monitor the meters to ensure a proper balance.

7. Listen for Details:

   • Listen to the audio to identify if the details have been brought out effectively.
   • Adjust the settings as necessary to enhance the desired elements.

8. Reverse Compression:

   • Alternatively, you can use the spectral compression to reduce certain details in the audio.
   • Lower the temporary gain for specific frequency bands to reduce unwanted artifacts or harsh sounds.

9. Fine-tune Reduction:

   • Adjust the settings to reduce specific elements such as pick attack or fuzziness.
   • Listen to the changes and make further adjustments as needed.

10. Compare Effects:

    • Toggle the compression on and off to compare the original audio with the compressed version.
    • Make adjustments based on the desired outcome.

11. Experiment with Different Applications:

    • Explore using spectral upwards compression to enhance details in audio.
    • Consider using the technique to reduce unwanted elements like excessive brightness or harsh sounds.

12. Finalize Settings:

    • Fine-tune the compression thresholds and settings to achieve the desired audio effect.
    • Save your settings or presets for future use.

13. Explore Further:

    • Experiment with different audio sources and settings to understand the impact of spectral upwards compression.
    • Check out other plugins available at melderproduction.com for additional audio processing tools.
