This was an absolute Master Class on compression! Learned more from this one video than I ever did in in Production school. Crazy how I'm still learning new things every day.

[sammusic]

thx beast i follow you now for 2 years and i am a black belt kandidate know in music thx 2 u bless you and keep up the power

[SebastianKomor]

Automation is indeed an often forgotten important element of a good dynamic mix. It truly is mind opening once you realize the impact automation has in a song. You can literary get a "dead" "flat" "boring" mix come to life with just automation. As usual, great video man. Cheers from Canada.

[leondenengelsen]

Loving your channel, knowledge and good vibes. Thanks for sharing!

[michaelbonanno]

Hey David… with your videos, I’m finding that the more I learn from you, the less I really know… because you open up the possibilities! Thank you so much for these videos! Learning so much my head hurts lol :)

[indyawichofficial]

Great advices to be kept in mind, additionally presented in broader context, which is sometimes overlooked, but more than important. ☆☆☆☆☆

[vkvermaofficial]

Believe me. Vidoes on this channel are the pure gold. This guy seriously share the actual knowledge. I feel blessed that I found this source/channel to enhance the knowledge about mixing. Thanks a lot David!!!!

As far as automation, here's an example. Today I was really grooving on my drum bus compression. It was a nice two compressors in series set-up. But on a couple of snare hits in a four bar phrase... the snare just kept disappearing. I tracked it down to my bus compression being pushed really hard by my kick. The best solution was to just turn down the kick with automation a little bit so that it wasn't shoving my snare so much and creating a noticeable dip in the snare volume. There were other ways to solve the problem, certainly. But the most effective way was to just squeeze in a little change to kicks under the snares and I was done.

This is one of the most honest videos I have ever seen about compression. Thank you

[aliensexist]

Have you looked at the Clip to Zero from baphometrix yet? Just curious your thoughts. They actually mentioned you in episode 18...

[FernandoCastillo-ogze]

Thank you so much Maestro! Automation is just mandatory, every track needs it!

[FatRussianGamer]

Oh wow, always assumed frequencies below internal sidechain are not compressed. Always something new, thanks! Though I like slight pumping from the mixbus comp in EDM and didn't use sidechain on it much so far, still good to know.

[nickdenardo]

i really just love the no-nonsense style. this is what works. take it or leave it. (given the meager amount of knowledge that i have amassed, all of these tips are spot on).

Analogue Obsession's BusterSE on the master and Yala as the second comp on my vox, TRS Black 76 for my bass bus, Royal Comp, MJUCjr, Smacklab's 63x NS SuperCharger on Dums. I also rely heavily on all of the comps on the proChannel of Cakewalk, SSL Bus comp, 1176, and LA2A respectively.

[zachary]

R Comp was the first compressor I ever used. I’m the kind of person who reads manuals several times, so I managed to catch the opto=LA2A / electro=1176 detail really early. That was very helpful in helping me hear compression!

[G-Doggy]

I'm a novice at mixing, but I can tell you REALLY know what you're talking about. I'm taking lots of notes on your videos. Thanks, David!

[kofikofi]

Hey David, i just wanna say a big thanks for this video

[konradhoroszko]

Thanks man, yours are the only "mistakes" I watch. Cheers!

[claudianreyn]

What is strange, after trying so many compressors on many tracks I always find the 1176 the best solution, even for the kick drum for example or for the bass. There's something magic about it.

[tylervigue]

SPECOMP by Analogue Obsession is a gem, it's super transparent so it can do heavy compression on vocals without artifacts or pumping. The TDR compressors are great too.
