These are just the basics and more episodes will follow, both on advanced compression methods and orchestral mixing. However if you're interested in learning more about all of this straight away from a very professional, modern and reliable source, check out Evenant's Cinematic Music Course here: - goo.gl/Cmbvhj It has about 30 entries (articles & some videos) about mixing & mastering alone, and waaaay lot more about how to compose orchestral music in general. Also, in case you missed them, here's my other tutorials about Orchestral Music Mixing: - ua-cam.com/play/PLXsgPw9BIOXFhJdNf2Ggm985ceZWp73S4.html And lastly, here's the livestream videos of me composing the Pirates Of The Caribbean track that you heard a bit in this tutorial completely from scratch: - ua-cam.com/play/PLXsgPw9BIOXE31NXH4OkXEEl85OpCjuCw.html
The amount of excitement I got when I saw another tutorial from my man Alex... Then that got doubled when I saw it was THIS Tutorial! THANK YOU ALEX!!

12:40 use the curve setting (1 to 8 i believe) to get a smooth release. This compressor is a bit weird.. It's the only one which has a feature like that. Also i wanna mention that the attack setting will greatly influence how much artifacting you get. You almost should never use the fastest attack because it's gonna grab all the peaks and it will sound unnatural by turning down the signal too much. For this type of percussion, or any type of compression, really, longer attack times between 10 and 25ms are really good because it will even out the volume and smooth out the sub tail (that's because sub waves a re slower so they come after the initial hit which is first treble) while keeping the transients, without destroying the hits. If compression makes the drums sound louder and more consistent but makes the sound worse, it's a bit of a shame. But playing with the attack will allow you to get more compression without artifacting.
@Lion's Heart Production: Woah, thanks for the tip on the attack, my man!

Alex Moukala np! yeah basically with the attack turned up you're just compressing the tails and thickening the sound while evening the hits, which is generally what you want. if you end up with too much transient because of that , you can always use a limiter after the compressor but the sharper transient is often really welcome
For me probably the best explanation of compression. I use Logic Pro X, with Fabfilter Pro-C, but your explanation is very generic and you can translate to any compression plugin. nicely explained Alex. Thank you!!
Bonjour Thanks for the video But to compare a compressed track against a uncompressed it is better to match the volume otherwise you could be fouled by the rise of volume
Last night I was just questioning myself what compressors are concretely use for, and then the next day I see this video quick and easy to understand. I still have to study it a little more the fully understand it too. I'm on my way there... Well I think xP You've post it on the right timing mate! :)
I have that exact artifacts you mentioned but not exactly sure how to get rid of it...Sounds ok in my mixdown, but after the master terrible...Do i put the compressor before the reverb then?

Thanks, dude!
The best mixing tutorials on youtube. Everything totally demystified and explained with a lot of care. Thank you!
it probably should be known that different compressors have their own distinct "characters" that can add to the sound. (like tube compressors)
For me probably the best explanation of compression.
I use Logic Pro X, with Fabfilter Pro-C, but your explanation is very generic and you can translate to any compression plugin.
nicely explained Alex.
Thank you!!
this is a super fantastic tutorial and i learnt heaps, thank you so much!

"Do you even compress, bro?". The EDM guy.

damn early .Liked before watching :D
Thanks! These are reaaaaaaally top quality tutorials!
Great tutorials, Alex! You doing awesome job. Can you make video about how to avoid problems with the phase in orchectral music?
Your series of mixing tutorials are the best!
Hi Alex. Do you compress before the reverb if you can, to remove the artefacts of it?
may I ask what the name of the drums library is? sorry, if you mentioned it somewhere! All the best and anf thanks for the great videos! :)
Great video! :) your channel is very informative ;)
Thank you very much man!!!
I have that exact artifacts you mentioned but not exactly sure how to get rid of it...Sounds ok in my mixdown, but after the master terrible...Do i put the compressor before the reverb then?
Watch or not....this guy deserve a like!
very good video
damn good
