mm, for FL parallel comp you could use something like TDR Feedback Comp, which has wet/dry levels. but yeah, I switched from FL a long time ago because I was feeling the technical limitations, some of them very much in this vein.. either way I think he should try to learn what compression does before trying to utilise it. :)

fwiw, wouldn't recommend linear phase on anything transient. better to use minimum phase most of the time unless you have a specific reason; linear phase, with its FFT/allpass trickery, has a tendency to smear and pre-echo (as well as wasting resources). reasonably quick/good explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efKabAQQsPQ

yep, which is isolation.. but everything he mentioned is room treatment, hence why I'm trying to point out the difference getting true isolation is difficult and expensive which is my point and also leads back to what you say here.. real studios cost money to build for a reason

are you trying to isolate it or acoustically treat it? these are two different processes, do not confuse them.. one to prevent sound getting in/out, one to make sure the space is of good quality to house the sound (eg minimise flutter, room modes, and so on). acoustic tiles, carpet and cork are all home remedies for treatment of a bad sounding room, but they will do very little to isolate sound. for true isolation, you want double leafed walls stuffed with sufficiently dense insulation, double doors, floating floor, etc. yes, like it or not it's mostly structural and often not that realistic for rented spaces.. for your case you have an option to build a pseudo-room within the room, you will lose some floor space but it's probably the best isolation you can get without doing any permanent damage. if you really care to learn about this stuff you could start with a browse around john l sayer's forum.

there are no absolute "best settings", what you're asking is how to mix your track.. there are whole books written on this, whole careers built on it.. don't take it as some light 'final step' to your production, it's a whole new skill. look up pensado's place, read some sound on sound articles about the fundamentals of mixing, you might find some good advice there.

you don't need a Fancy bass tutorial, you need to get a clue..
