How to Use Compression | Logic Pro X Compressor Tutorial

Whats up guys!? In this video we're going to be talking about compression, specifically using the stock Logic Pro X Compressor. I'm going to go over the main controls and parameters of the Platinum Digital compressor, how compression works, and also how to apply those principles to a drum loop that I've made to give you a visual representation of how compression works. The stock compressor in Logic Pro X is an excellent plugin, and I highly recommend learning how to use it effectively. Enjoy!

I really appreciate how you 1.) explained every control, 2.) did it succinctly and intuitively, and 3.) cut out all the dead space to keep the video as tight as possible and not waste our time. Amazing.

in school right now and watched a million videos on all audio effects, this one was the best, i can’t wait to be a full time audio engineer

For what it’s worth, I’ve been trying to understand compression for about a year now. This video just made it click for me. Appreciate you 🙏🏻🎯

[Jolst]

Bro you have such a good handle on logic! I’ve been needing these videos🙏

[brandonparsons]

Great Vid! I dig how you keep it fast and to the point. No extra unnecessary mumbo. Dig your editing. A lot of peeps out there seem to have lost the idea of, , , Our time is valuable. And every phone and computer has a pause and rewind. Thank you for your vids! Keep it up!!

[Idc.]

Dude you’re the man! I watched a lot of videos trying to understand compression and you’re explanation was the only one the I understood! Great video, much love ❤️

Tony Holiday continues to teach me the ways of sound and audio engineering. THANK YOU!

[kingzthevessel]

Finally a video that explains what a compressor does easy. Thanks for making this.

[name_not_found]

This video has helped me to finally understand clearly what compression and all the knobs do, thanks!

[BigSadClownBoi]

Very helpful, especially with the tip about presets as a starting point!

[pinkhorse]

Perfect for a refresher or first time using compression in logic. Ive been using logics compressor for a while but you really drove home some things that I didn't understand yet so thank you! Hopefully my mixes will be sounding better.

[JordanSchmidt]

Good stuff here. I'm glad I found you. Logic is a bit overwhelming and I'm only scratching the surface so far but watching videos like this help out quite a bit. Dope.

Awesome for a beginner, could really hear the difference which explained the principle of compression nicely for me. Thanks from the UK. 🇬🇧 👏

[Cutman]

Just started out with Logic & Music Production in general and am really glad that you're making those video. It helps a lot.
Good job, keep it up!

[MarkPeotter]

Great tutorial video! You are a good teacher. The tough thing about these types of videos is that it is hard to actually hear what YOU hear, due to the compression of the video file and the Internet streaming.

[treyGivens]

So in conclusion after watching this video I need to just hire a music engineer

[stanleyli]

Much better explanation than my tutor in uni ! Great job man!

[vincentkelly]

...yep, agree with all these positive comments, great guy. Wish I had this video when learning about compression.

[dirtyoliver]

honestly you're putting out some great content and this was an excellent video on compression! so many people with big followings act like they're experts on EVERY SUBJECT and give bad information out and newbies don't know better since they see the clean thumbnail, the like ratio, the sub number, etc. that's the sad truth about youtube learning. people kinda pretend they're experts when they're really not and they make ad revenue and sponsors off of giving bad info to newbies who don't know better. haha so thank you for the quality content you produce.

[nativelove]

Found your video super helpful, as a band (Native Love) we do a bit of our own mixing and compression has always been a little unclear. Thank again.
