    The best + most comprehensive video on compression.

    I just want to say a massive thank you, you have helped me immensely with my work in logic, I've watched all of your helpful videos and cannot express enough on how helpful you've been, i've never found videos like these that are so in depth and helpful, and pleasing to listen to! Many thanks again!

    There is a black art to compression and it can be fairly subjective. This overview though just shows what a difference well applied compression makes to a track. Excellent overview of the circuits, intelligent, practical and easy to digest as your tutorials always are. Great job - thank you!

    i just started this video... but for some reason i'm kinda glad its an hour based only on the compressor. maybe ill finally master the compressor or become president. same probability.

      Easier to become president tbh. Just say some racist shit on TV and you'll be in the white house in no time.

  • @lastpedestrian
    @lastpedestrian 8 років тому +15

    I've been waiting for a video tutorial like this. Logic's built-in compressors are under-appreciated. Nicely done. That being said, would be happy to see a follow-up video talking about the nitty gritty between the types of compressors, as well as comparing them to plugins modeling the compressors on which Logics's built-in compressor models are based.

    • @LordTea1
      @LordTea1 8 років тому +6

      +Benjamin Richards I would even say Josh demonstrates how good Logic's built in compressors actually are. If one can't get a decent mix done with these built in compressors no premium priced plugin will change that.

    • @MusicTechHelpGuy
      @MusicTechHelpGuy  8 років тому +12

      +Benjamin Richards The circuit types are loosely modeled like this: Studio VCA is modeled after the Focusrite Red; Studio and Vintage FET are modeled after an 1176 (black and silver face models); Classic VCA is a DBX 160; Vintage VCA is an SSL comp; The Opto is modeled after the LA2A with more controls.

  • @DavidRavenMoon
    @DavidRavenMoon Рік тому +1

    This is what the Logic compressors are:
    Studio VCA = Focusrite Red Compressor - (good for drums)
    Studio FET = UA 1176 black face (snare, vocals)
    Classic VCA = DBX 160/165A (drums)
    Vintage VCA = SSL G-Master Bus
    Vintage FET = UA 1176 silver face (edgy)
    Vintage Opto = LA2A (guitars. First compressor in multi comp chains)

    Thanks for this awesome video, not to mention all the others!
    I highly recommend everyone buy the accompanying Logic file, I've learned way more working along and comparing. Also, it's a great chance to work with audio recorded through much nicer equipment than many of us have access to, so that's a plus. And you get to help keep all this content running! (End plug)

  • @jerryjacques3959
    @jerryjacques3959 6 років тому

    Thank you for this outstanding tutorial! Compression has been a "mystery" to me since I started recording w Logic years ago. FINALLY, someone (you) with the comm skills and audio knowledge to break it down. I've seen others who've had the expertise but not right tools or finesse to make the tutorial digestible. I'm subscribing and looking forward to more.

    @zibbezabba2491 4 роки тому

    I learned a new trick the other day. Make a copy of your track, get the level where you want it, use compression on one track only. You can have fun with it because you can't over compress it when you have a copy retaining the dynamics. Works great with bass guitar.

  • @ghoshneh
    @ghoshneh 5 років тому

    I think the reason behind why compression concept is hard to get is because people tend to jump into technicalities far too soon; to be able to understand compression one would need to understand what a good sound is (kick, snare, guitar etc). Once you can detect a good sound from bad sound then it would be super easy to tweak the knobs on the compressor to achieve that sound. And to be able to understand good from bad sound, many years of mixing experience is required. This means the more you work with compressors the better you get at it, just like drawing or any artistic venture! Even experienced engineers get more and more skilled with compression year by year! So, at the beginning, just take it easy and keep things simple; keep the threshold between -20 to 30db, ratio around 5:1, compensate for the lost volume using make-up gain, then play around with attack and release until you get a fuller sound. Once you've done this for a couple of weeks then you start picking up a lot more technicalities subconsciously shaping the dynamic of your sound in a lot more detail.

    I love logic to death, but let's face it the waves plug-ins are on another level. but if you cant get the waves plugins for some reason logic pros plugins will DEFINITELY do the job and do it damn good if you know what you are doing. now the only thing that really fucks it up is Logics EQ, taking away frequencies is great, but adding them really does a horrible job its way to harsh, so if you have the money buy a EQ.
