    Compression: to start
    High ratio
    fastest attack
    fastest release
    Bring up the attack slowly until it's where you want
    Move the release to till the gain reduction is back to 0
    Ease up ratio

    It does truly come down to compressing with a purpose, like you said. I haven't seen this method in practice before, but I'll do some experimenting with it and see how that plays out. Excellent video, keep up the great work (I know it's been a few months since this was uploaded but still).

    Finally a compressor tip that’s convenient. I must admit that I admire you and I learn a lot from your tutorial video’s. The comedy video’s are also great btw. Are you considering to continue the You Know Your An EDM Producer If... video’s? I would really appreciate it. Sometimes it’s fine to take some heavy pressure from ourselves by watching such video’s. Best, Emiel.

    @JIDEHHIGHELEMENTS 6 років тому +12

    thx for this one, this full threshold tips is the Best way to ear how Sounds this or that Comp. Here in my work flow i grouped 2 Comp in a ableton rack, the first one is called TRANSIENT , with fast attack and fast release settings calibrated from 0,1 to 50ms for the attack and for release to 500ms as max value. The second Comp called BODY calibrated from 50 ms to max for the attack and from 100 ms to max for the release... Each Comp with make up gain swiched off are linked to 4 macros controlling threshold, ratio, attack & release ( and the rack is also the simplest way to calibrate each compressor)... This double Comp rack is set by default on my audio track, that way i have Quick access to lower the attack or the body of a track, in the case i need a more general settings like a gentle glue setting, i just switch on one Comp depending on what the source or group of tracks to be glued needs. Thx

    In my opinion (I'm not too much of a technical producer), I don't compress audio such as Kicks or Snares, simply because I normally feel they don't need it. But yeah, great tutorial :D

  • @syntheffects
    @syntheffects 4 роки тому

    It's kinda backwards because the sample you start with is a heavily compressed one. If you use "flattened out" sample like that one you don't really need to compress them and could work with an EQ or layering to get the punch effect you went for. To get a compressor to do more for you pick a sample with a sharp transient and then follow this or any other compression techniques.

  • @kahl690

    Zen world, I produce future bass. I understand compression but am confused what not to compress. I’m compressing vocals, my synths and my saws for the drop, the kick. But do I need to compress my piano from keyscape or my guitars?? What about sub??

  • @Felix00007
    @Felix00007 6 років тому +2

    First I make a track and complete arrangement render into stamps those have no EQ and compression just only volume balancing then after by seeing the waveform of every element I decided that if it's need compressor or not if some waveform have so much variation on volume so it's time to compress it
