📌 *What You'll Learn In This Video*
-------------------------------------------------------
In this video we'll cover everything you need to know about vocal compression in FL Studio, including choosing the right compression ratio (6:1 is a great starting point for modern vocals), setting the threshold to ensure all your words are clear and audible, and adjusting the attack settings to keep the natural dynamics of your vocal performance. Whether you're working on EDM, rap, pop, progressive house, hip-hop, RnB, trap or any other style - these tips will help your vocals stand out in the mix. We'll use the stock compressor in FL Studio, but you can follow along with any compressor plugin you have.

This tutorial is perfect for beginners and seasoned producers alike. By the end of this video, you'll know how to use compressor and especially how to set the compressor attack to enhance your vocals without losing their natural feel.

Yo this video is exactly what i needed, been struggling so much with mashed words and lack of clarity. Explaining the attack time like you have has done wonders for me. Love!!

I knew what attack and release do in compressors, but I didn't really understand it. This video explains it perfectly in less than 8 mins, very nice work.

[evolveordie]

what if I leave the attack at the middle of compression, in bettween both? would I get the best of both worlds?

Might get some comments on my post. But frankly, because I only do 2 different Genre's and none of the ones you mention, I consider RAP to be "dialogue put to background music". And WHY? This track, so I wont even call it a Vocal, barely has 2 two-note range, and the only reason for the dynamic range shown in the track, is from volume changes. SO all you'd be doing on this is to bring up lower volumes and squishing down the higher ones. SO I only watched about 3 min of it. I'm sure it was good for those who do this Genre. To deal with low and high dynamic ranges, I've found that the Waves MV2 works well, with only 2 knobs, plus an output knob. Something outside the video comment. I wish that compressor plugin vendors could decide to be more consistent in how they set up their Attack and Release systems. Maybe have all of them the same, because to me, it's sometimes confusing going from 1 compressor to another. Maybe have Slow on the left, and Fast on the right for all of them. At least some of them Label them.
