Nelly is amazing. I have been watching YT videos for about a week now to learn about compressors. This is about the best out there. Thanks!

This is actually a really good tutorial for beginning compressor users. Very well explained Nell! I even enjoyed it, and I already know what a compressor is :). Keep it  going!

One of the best compressor tutorials ! It's something often forgotten how important good settings are !

[technodaz]

When I first saw your street performance I looked you up and found you have quite the production experience, and I was waiting for a vid like this. I am not disappointed!

[Groovemaster]

Amazingly well explained. It's one thing to know how it works, and another to explain it so well that even my wife understands.

[markstanford]

Interesting and you did a good job. Not sure if I "get" all of it, and I may have to watch a couple of times. But I do know more about compression now than I did 15 minutes ago. Thanks!

[Kshadowfax]

nicely done....and that funky lick sounded really funky!

[TheBandFake]

You should narrate things like nature documentaries. Freaking amazing.

[Airman]

Awesome vid man! By far the best video/ explanation of compressors and how they actually work. Has inspired me to find a compressor pedal and experiment!

Back in the day, my brother and I worked at the local radio station. It was one of the oldest stations in the area and we worked evenings and overnights at the time. So needless to say, two young dudes with a lot of extra time and no one around decided it was a great idea to rummage around in the attic. Well, we found some treasures. We found an old Gates (don't remember the model) compressor that literally took up about 10 or so rack spaces in a rack. We also found an 1176 and an 1178. Amazing how much good stuff can be just tossed away.

[ElisandroDeLeon]

This is a really good video that explains both guitar pedal type compressors and more traditional ones.
