    I love revisiting this series every now and then. It's been a few and refreshing on this pure approach to compression and the very concise explanations is worth it every time

    "we're now only catching the loudest peaks instead of digging down into the body of the sound" that's what I call nailing it down on the point. such a great job.

    Dan, you blew my mind with that method of sending all the tracks fighting for space in the mix to a single compressor and having the prominent one jump out above the compression to stand out. Brilliant.
    Audio engineering in general is relatively new to me but I find it ironic that Fabfilter’s high quality and versatile “pro” plugins are also the most beginner friendly! Getting visual feedback of the compression interacting with the signal and how all the knobs come into play it is so immensely helpful in understanding how compression works. I never would have understood by just twisting knobs labeled “knee” and whatnot. This compressor is going to the top of my list of things to save up for!

    for a long time i wondered if only individual parts would get compression, or groups of parts… or the whole mix… i like to experiment with other stuff but never with compression. always been out of ease with compression until this 3part series. thanks 🙏 🙏 thank you…. and all that as FREE information! and im going thru the three part again cause it’s night time and i need sleep and dont wanna get up to go try stuff right now…

    nice technical info, but there is a lot more behind compression, waiting for part 4. 5 and maybe 6 cause it is a science today, many creative engineers have done pretty great stylistic jobs in albums which require or worth to studies and analyse, funny cause compression is only volume control :-)

      I think the best way to learn is to go grab some audio and repeat these steps. Else in 2 weeks you won't remember any of these and your ears won't be trained. Just listening to someone else's work is not enough

    It's very hard to hear the small changes you're making. I'm on headphones yes. I think you should talk less. You're making me lose focus :( I'd rather have a box of text on screen describing what you're doing. Just voicing my opinion.

    • @TheSADVeeto
      @TheSADVeeto 6 років тому +1

      What kind of headphones do you have? I can hear the small changes. Idk your background but maybe come back and have another listen at a slightly lower level? Like freewind says, this crash course is brilliant ear training. Good luck friend.
