after years and years of looking for tutorials, these are the ones that cut the bullshit and saves everyone valuable time. thank you for the staight to the point styled tutorials. will recommend.
the best tutorial in the whole world, really, not even cisco systems or SAP or IBM (I'm an IT professional) make tutorials like this one. My respects!!
Unbelievable !!! I could go from knowing nothing about EQ and Mixer to become a professional sound technician just by learning all the videos of this channel.
fantastic tutorial! for years compressors have confused the hell of me, 'what they are and what they do to the sound. This video explains really well. i have followed along wit this one and its finally sunk in :-) thanks for the great video :-) :-)
I havent even watched yet but feel obliged to say "Its people like you that the internet a worthy place!" Education for free and driven by passionate people! Not by profit. Thank you!
Man, for a long time I just nodded my head and said, 'right, I got it,' when people talked about compression. Within two minutes, you explained to me how I need to think about this function. 2:1 - 2 dBs in, 1 dB out. It explained the vagaries of dynamic range and loudness. Our first CD is quieter than most other CDs and now I know why. We chose to use very little compression (due to great horn players) which made the mastering much more difficult. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You were the first result of my search "what is compression in music" and I have to admit you clearly deserve it. An awesome tutorial with clear graphics. Thanks!
Very helpful graphics combined with easy to understand explanations. I watched and listened to several videos on the subject but the graphical examples really go far to make the subject easier to comprehend. Thanks for the time and effort put forth in this presentation.
The way people explained compression always confused me but this is the first time someone made it easy to comprehend. Glad I subscribed. Keep up the fantastic content!
Gotta jump on the bandwagon here and thank you very much for such a clear and concise video explaining something I've struggled to understand for years. LEGEND!
I am an amateur recording demos of my music on Garageband and have watched so many videos about compression trying to understand it and this is the only one where I actually finally get it. Thank you!
This is , in my opinion, the best video at explaining compression on youtube. I've looked at a few now but I wish I watched this one first. No fluff too the point understandable information. Thanks for doing that and I look forward to looking at your other videos in the next few days. Cheers, much appreciated.
Best. Tutorial. Ever. Great animations and audio comparisons. I almost feel bad that I didn't have to pay for this! I would have paid money! Thank you!
I believe This video has posted 10 year's back but till today 2021 no other videos have been explained as this video great.. thank you very much.. from India ..
man where has this channel been i havent seen or subscribed to it ? smh , thanx a million dude its like i was sitting in class at FULLSAIL at my own pace ... thank you keep up dat good work very clear simple and informative .
These videos are really fantastic. I've been muddling my way through Logic, and learning how to use it through experimentation and other tutorials, but this is the first series I've found that actually lets me understand _why_ things work, rather than just what they do.
I was struggling for such a long time to wrap my head around the general concepts of each control in compression, and this really made it so simple for me to understand. I have a lot more confidence looking at a compressor now. TY.
Your use of graphics as a teaching tool is fantastic. A great deal of time was obviously put into creating these and I am very grateful for your efforts. Bravo!
This is great. So well explained and easy to understand. I can't express how helpful the graphics are as a visual learner. I wish every tutorial had the extensive graphics this video does. Thank you!
This is just amazing. I've read and seen tons of stuff about compression but actually, I never really got what it was about, until i saw this video. Great work!
I agree with all the comments about how awesome and concise this video is. I never had a clear understanding of compression, until now! This is an A+++ video! You rock and you have a new subscriber!
So glad to discover this. Clear, to the point, and attractive visuals that back up your teaching. And thanks for great audio in your examples! I can really hear the differences. Not many tutorials on compression do that. Amazing job.
Thank you so much! I had this as a lesson in a level and they way my teacher explained I didn’t even understand it , but you are the real teacher thank you🙌🏽
Wow- that is an incredibly well-made tutorial! I've been doing UA-cam tutorials myself for the past couple of years and I know how much WORK they are. Your graphics and illustrations are among the best I've seen on UA-cam. Keep it up!!!
