How To Apply Compression • How Much Threshold and Ratio?!

How To Apply/Use Compression! How Much Threshold and Ratio?! In this tutorial, I don't go into details about what the different controls do, but tell you tips and tricks on how you can start to apply them to your tracks. The hardest part of compression is "how much", as it always depends. But in this tutorial, I give you tips on how to use/apply threshold, ratio, attack and release, knee, and makeup gain.

Thank you so much! After 12 years of producing music, I have FINALLY understood exactly what compression is doing. You're a true hero <3

So I finally got to see one of your videos after saving them for later all the time. now I subscribe! (doin' it right now....click!, done!)

Compression is that part of the process where I think we all, at least once or twice....or thrice... end up questioning ourselves, who we are and why we're in this world...it's beautiful if you think about it..hehe.

First of all, nice video! you did great explaining it (now that I have a better understanding of it, I can say that you explain it very good).

I have a question that it's not related directly to the process itself but to the fact that I dunno why on earth my compressor does not display the "Gain Reduction" decibels at the bottom like yours does!! What version of Ableton are you using? Cuz I'm using 10.

Thanks!!

Thank you for providing such an incredible resource for artists and creators and helping us all create one of the most important things our broken world needs right now, music :). So many people like myself who don’t quite have enough $$$ to pay someone to produce an entire album, so you alone are helping us bring our art into the world for those willing to work and learn on their own. Thank you again for your amazing lessons from Seattle :)

Dope video.I learned some stuff, I understand compression pretty well, I continued watched to listen to you say threshold. I love the way you say threshold. You are awesome.

[fritsvanzanten]

Very good video. I wonder, is there a loudness meter that indicates the maximum (kind of 'hold')?
