Hey, can't stress how much your videos are a lifesaver. Thank you from the bottol of my heart. In another comment you have mentioned that compressors are usually used to reducue the difference between the quietest and loudest sounds and not to have all sounds of one level. May I ask how can I achieve that? How can I have each track or sound be of one level throughout the whole song and have that effect of the vocals being fixed in place? Thank you in advance!
X.I Thanks 😍👍 You can use a limiter to fix the maximum volume level of the track. In bandlab you can turn the TecLab BA-2A compressor into a limiter by tapping on Limit (to the right of the word Mode). You could add the Gain fx before the limiter to help boost the volume of the quietest sounds up to the limiter cut off.
Hello, sir. I’m really glad with your tutorials. I would like to ask what compressor would be the best for vocal tracks. You see, I trying to make my own song but there are times when I get annoyed listening to the little growls that my voice makes. I hope you can help me. Thank you!
JapReactz Hi, thank you very much for your feedback, I'm glad you like my tutorials 😀👍 Personally, I use the DIGI Comp compressor in bandlab for vocals. If you send me an audio file of your vocal growls I might be able to tell you how to fix it.
Moises Martinez Jr. I would use the DIGI Comp, set the Ratio high (I use 20.0) and the knee low (I use 0.0) for drums and a lower Ratio (I use about 10.0) and higher knee (I use about 14.0) for cymbals. If cymbals and drums are on the same track you will need to set Ratio and Knee somewhere in between. Set the Threshold around - 10dB to reduce the louder sounds rather than setting the dot on the Threshold slider further to the left (which would equal out the the lows and highs more but remove the dynamics of the drum beat). Compression does though change the sound of the drums, so you might want to experiment with different settings to get the sound you like.
Hello again sir , i cant say how much your tutorial help me in my recording.. Sir if u dont mind can u include the ideal / standard composition /adjustment in using the compressor. Im still looking for the right composition /adjustment (for vocal mostly) for my amateur recording . thank u again sir
Marvin Jonathan Hi, thanks, glad you like it. In a pro DAW I would set up the compressor using the graphic display but bandlab does not have any graphic displays, so I can do a video with some recommended settings for bandlab.
Is it safe to assume compressors don't PERFECTLY make the entire track the same volume? I can never getemset perfect. Even in this video, you can still hear the one, two, THREE, FOUR, 3 and 4 still louder.. Even the guitar, that last note is still way louder than the first two.
Paul Revere Hi, first I should say that this a very basic tutorial on using a compressor... Because the compressors in BandLab are very very basic. I will be covering compressors in much more detail when I do my compressor tutorial for Cakewalk by BandLab. In a professional DAW its common to use more than one compressor at different points in the fx chain to get a much more even sound than by just using the one compressor. That said, a compressor is normally used to reduce the comparative difference between the quietest and loudest sounds (and to remove volume spikes that would otherwise overload the max recording level), rather than to make all sounds exactly the same volume.
@@IbandUK thank you for that response. I understand what you're saying now. Cake walk, ive only heard a little about. In your opinion, is it superior to bandlab? I love your videos . Keep it up.
The Ohm Eye Gods 😀👍 So 20:1 means that any sound above the threshold you set will be reduced to 1/20th of its volume above the threshold, which is very heavy compression but sometimes you might want the threshold to be the maximum volume of the track (like when using the 1176 as a volume booster). The All option does just that, it reduces the volume of any sounds that are above the threshold back down to the threshold.
thanks for this! finally a detailed one, will try this for my song covers.

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback, I'm glad you like my tutorial 😀👍
I didn’t know there was different compressors with their own uniqueness to them thanks

Hi there, would you happen to know what compressor effect is best to use for drums? Your tutorials have really helped alot. Thank you

@@IbandUK Hi, how can I have the whole sounds the same volume?
Sinto falta das legendas em português🇧🇷 nos seus vídeos!!!!
Thanks for this! What is the "all" option on the 1176 if I may ask? Really, thanks again for the simple but detailed explanation of them.
