I love to use the Doom Compressor / "Doom Compression". If you have not heard of this already, definitely look it up. Adds pure beautiful violence to any sound.
I wanted to use compressor to give my kicks more attack, but I got into the "sausage problem" that you mentioned. So I made a FL Patcher preset, that triggers at every beat, so I can use it when sound designing kicks. I know I could just use a envelope, but it's much faster to load up the preset than to draw in the envelope.
One of the best example to explain Attack and release! Thanks. I’m still trying to understand tough if the attack do some sort of limitation too or what ( the example to realize that the sound in the tv is too loud then grab the remote controller to decrease it)… and/or the time before put the tv volume to its previous level (saturation)…if you have some different words applied on the music would be appreciated. Thanks
Compressing/limiting is used also for kick attack sound design. I have seen great examples, where if one takes away the comp. it sounds not near as good. Same for really powerful FX snares, and toms.
NIce video boss, when I asked the question I was generalising, because I am actually writing different genres at the moment, and I couldn't understand compression ( Alot of EDM forums etc always banging on about throwing compressors on everything and I just couldnt get my head around it) in these styles of music, I only ever used a compressor to really enhance transients on kicks , the good old 1176 for that. I never really use them unless im trying to tame a wild section. Good video, the analogy on the remote (And yes I remember free TV) was perfect. Now go have your spinach, you've earned it ;) pmsl
Great video, thank you for that Little edit: using compression on a kick makes sense (to me), but not in the main project. In the creating project of the kick, a compressor on the frequencies above 150 hz really helps making everything in the tail glue together
Compressors are a bit overrated tbh. They are a handy tool but i would say you can make a killa track without using a single compressor. I useally only use compressors alot in sounddesign, because it's quicker for me then setting up a volume automation. In mixing I useally only use compressors for transient control on drums and clean punchy kicks. If I want to squish something together like layered leads, i like a limiter and a bit of saturation instead of a compressor cause i feel it sounds nicer that way.
Furthermore, compression when proper made can also increase the presence in a more sophisticated way. It is certainly not an over-rated application in the mix.
It’s very good to show us what the compressor do in Hardstyle music! But too much time to tell the general knowledge, less time to show the examples! Even your demonstration only one second! I like to see the analysis details what the compressor doing! Hope you can show more technics in Hardstyle music, because seldom experts to talk about that! Thank you so much!
@@generalguyble Because I just want to see the difference between uncompressed and compressed hard kick wave forms, you less than one second passed it in the video.
@@albertwangny wtf you talking about ? The boss said you dont need to use compression on Hardcore/Rawstyle etc kicks, so why on earth would he then spend a whole hour talking about compression on them ?
Best Explanation so far xD The add metaphor was the best xD great work!
hands down the best explanation what the attack and release is lol
Das erste Mal, das mir jemand einen Compressor logisch erklären konnte.
Danke dir!

"It kind of really, completely, fucked up the whole kick" haahaha. I want that on on a shirt.
hahahaha yeah I will make a shirt like that 😂

das remote beispiel ist richtig dick haha danke
Man now I really regret I bought a compressor tutorial coarse...This was so helpful Alex. I really like these vids of you..
This cleared some things up that I've been wondering about for awhile now🙏
happy to hear that 😊
Love the analogy for the attack and release time :P
I love the fact that you remember the hustle of watching free TV 😅
I gave a thumbs up not because this is a great explanation of compression and very applicable for electronic music, but because I like your face.
hahaha thanks man
Very nice video! Thanks!
this cleared up a lot of doubts, especially about compression on kicks
glad to hear that
I had no idea I could inspire !!! ;)

I read the comment 5 times and I kind of didn't undestand the question tbh
I have watched several compression videos and this one made the most sense. Thank you. 🔥

have you actually watched the video?
@@generalguyble Yes, I just point out some aspects even if they are mentioned before.
Hi Alex, never eared better explanation of the attack and the release. Awesome !
Good one🖐👍
Sidechain Compression is very important for me ;) All other bring it to the Point😁✌

Comp on buses especially means that the mastering processing can be easier performed, so it all has a meaning properly applied.
like every video: really nice explained!
Great video, thank you for that

Good video, solid advice brother!👍
Back in the day when commercials were loud as fuck.
I don’t miss those days 😂💀💀
good explanation

one million percent agreed!!! I'm also not too big of a compressor user
Then you might not have got the point with its value for vocals, AND kick design.
good stuff :)

The truth is that Trancient, that came from trance... :)

@@jaylevzi7293 Thank you so much! I am so conservative to learn things like the students. Hope you can give me more advices! Thanks again!
