Description : Compressor utilization and understanding of compression is one of the most difficult things to understand for audio recording engineers. There are so many different compressors and their types, so it’s not hard to understand why people struggle with compression. Compression is crucial for getting good mixes in modern music, and without a proper understanding of compressors and using them, you can easily turn your mixes into thin and lifeless. Compressors can add color to the tracks, flatten the drums, smooth the vocals and add bass to the weight. Compressors can add something to the track, or vice versa take away. For example, using a compressor, you add a barrel to a punch, or you can completely get rid of it. It all depends on how you use the compressor. And there are many, many ways to use it. Proper use of compression will help improve your mixes, keeping the dynamics controlled. From this course, you will learn about the basics of compression, learn everything you need to know to get started with compressors.
Compatibility It is hard to see why people struggle with compression. It can be easily reconstructed. Crush drums, smooth out vocals, and add weight to tracks. Compressors can be taken away. For example, with a compressor drum, you can take the punch away. It all depends on how you use it. And there are many ways to use a compressor. Using compression can help to improve your mixes. You know, get started with compressors. Attack, release, threshold, ratio, I explain them all. It can also be seen as some mixers. I also answer some frequently asked questioned about compression.
