THINK OF IT LIKE THIS.
Threshold - The volume at which your mom tells you to cut down your music
Ratio - The amount you cut down your music when she tells you to (the threshold)
Attack - How FAST you cut it down when she tells you to (the threshold)
Release - How quickly you cut the music back up when she leaves the room

That's brilliant! lol And that's my teenage son!

On rule 2 notice how he RAISED the eq first to find the frequencies that he wanted to lower. That is a great eq 101 trick.
I just learned that trick of Joe too recently. It looks counter-intuitive, but it just works. I love all of Joe's tutorials.
Sweeping for unwanted frequencies
@@ryanreedtv3242 exactly
seek and destroy
I've found that this is a mixed bag of a trick. When you sweep you need to be extra careful that what you think sounds bad is in fact bad and not contributing something to the character of the vocal. I find it easier to analyze the vocal with my ears before touching anything and only trying to isolate something that I hear in the whole vocal in the whole mix, that I don't like.
thanks Joe, learning every day...
Excellent as always, Joe!
Excellent video! Thanks again Joe!
Favourite video of the week. Very well explained. Love it ❤️
I watched this when you released it, but I forgot it all so I came back while working on a mix and the release advice is EXACTLY what I needed to get the clarity I was after. Thank you!!
I love how you do what you do. You're my kind of engineer!
Very helpful! You always seem to explain concepts in a away that may them clearer.
Joe! All I can say is WOW. Finally, compression clarity!
One of the BEST compression videos I've ever seen. Simple, smart, and right to the point. WOOHOO! SUBBED! :)
I’ve watched so many videos on compression but I feel like this is the one that has finally clicked with me. Thank you
this is one of the most helpful videos i’ve ever watched on compression! thank you!
You have the best videos out there, cheers dude!
Your videos have been SOO helpful to me, thank you! Your explanation is so clear and concise in all of them, and this one is great. Love how you compared the attack and release, I've never understood it fully until this second. Thank you so much!
Great guide man, pretty clear and straight forward. It helps me a lot 🔥
Congratulations for another great video and explanations, Joe!! Best regards from Spain ^^
Hey Joe, you’ve been a blessing to me when it comes to all your tips about recording. I just wanna encourage you keep up the good work that you’re doing. I want you to know that you blessed us so much. Thanks again.
simple, effective, to the point!!
Excellent teaching, thanks Joe!
Another great tutorial! Thanks Joe. I like the way you explain it with the demo. Makes more sense.
Man, I don't know how you do it, but you post your videos just in time when I actually need. Thanks for that and keep on rockin'!
absolutely you are the best dear joe.
Good explanation once again. Thanks again, Joe.
Oh man, I think you said something that finally clicked in my poor brain with compression. I have really been struggling to understand and your explanation here with the consonants really helped! I'm working on a song where the vocalist hits his consonants really hard at the beginning of his phrase and I've been struggling to make it sound good. I don't want it to happen on accident - I want to know what I'm doing! lol Thank you, Joe!
Found this so helpful, thanks for making and sharing 👍
Truly great stuff, love your insight, short an spot on....
I think of all the videos I've watched about compression (especially for vocals), this video was probably the simplest and clearest explanation. Thank you for your content, seriously.
Thanks for that, Joe.. really, really helpful, particularly about how release works. Thanks again 🙂
Great Joe. Another top tutorial. Learned already so much from you.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This is so great. Thanks for the knowledge! Needed it last week... but better late than never.
Thanks for the vid Joe - very helpful as always.
"Release as clarity" really helped me understand! Your demos of the consonant sounds with fast and slow release were so helpful!
Dude. I hope you keep banging out videos. This was the perfect explanation of exactly what needs to happen, when, and why. Short and informational but to the point yada yada, I'm sure you've heard it a 361 times but I still want to express my gratitude. So thanks!
Thank you so much I was struggling with this ❤
just stumbled across your channel and I love the way you explain things. to the point, easy to understand and none of the youtuber theatrics.
definitely understand attack and release more now too. thanks!
This is absolutely the best explanation of release time. I have been struggling with compression and this have me such an ah ha! Moment. Thank you!!!
Great video, excellent training!! Thanks bro!!
Wow. This was almost perfect. Thank you.
Best compression tutorial! :)
Just what I needed, thank you.
Sounds amazing.
Hey Joe, comenting here again after the EQ Vocals videos just to say that these two tips helped me. The vocals that I was having problems are now perfectly working on the mix. Turns out All it needed was some cutting on the low end, not a single boost on the whole chain and it's souding exatctly how I wanted.
Thank you man, have a great weekend
Great video, your explanation was very clear, to the point and easy to understand.
Thanks man, really interesting and instructive
Where were these videos when I started learning Voice Over last year?!?! Outstanding video! Really simplifies things for an audio troglodyte like me ;)
Thank you for the great information!
Very well thought out tutorial. Subscribed 👍
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video, explains a lot
Best explanation about attack and release I ever watch. Thank you!😄
Thanks Joe. This is the best explanation and demo of compression I've seen...and heard.
I mostly subscribed to channels that have mixing tips on metal and hard hitting music. But I do spend some time playing and recording acoustic songs once in a while. You are now my reference for softer music production ;) Simple but efficient explanations! Love it!
thanks for making everything clear and detailed, it actually helped me a Lot :)
Awesome it opened my eyes about a lot of things on compression Thank you
Great information and one of the best explanations of the various compression features. TY!
Great updated content! Thank you
This was much better than the one you did awhile ago !! loving the presonus line. Made the switch last year and have been loving Studio One. I do mostly live shows, but been having fun with all the other goodies. Just bought an Atom SQ to help with workflow in Studio One. Using the studio live 32 board with 2 NSB 16x8 boxes for live shows.
Thanks mate. Super helpful video ! X
Your videos are amazing brother!!! Thank you for all the information! Used your monitor calibrating video to set up my new room. My mixes never sounded better! Stay Blessed
Thank you Joe so much!! I just took your advice in my bands ep and like you say: "boom" !! the voice is on top of the mix. You really helped me out of the chaos about compression.
I would really appreciate it, if you record a video about using multiple effects on voice to round up this series about mixing vocals :)
Greetings from Germany
Just found your video - love your way of explaining! thank you so much :)
Excellent tips as usual.
Dude!!! You explained this so good without the extra bullshit!!! I entered in entry level and I graduated on the same day... thank you very much for getting straight to the point and breaking it down to it’s very last compound!!
Very understandable and helpful, like the way u go straight to the point 👍
I want more about compression... Thank you for the video, very helpful❤
Super helpful. Thanks so much. !
Hi Joe, I've been following you and your channel for quite a few weeks now, and want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. This is one of the most informative channels on YT I found so far. Like in this video. Of course I know what attack and release mean in a compressor, but what does it actually do with the audio source? Where should I pay attention? Your hint to listen for the consonants for example is simply great. Like nealy all your advises, this helps me improving. And you don't try to sell stuff. Just pure information, hints, clues... Easy to understand and extremely helpful.
And by the way, I am listening to your song "Fearfully and Wonderfully made" over and over again these days. Gives me goosebumps every time. I didn't know you're such a good and emotional singer. Really great performance, love it!
Dette var nyttig, Joe! Takk
Amazing video dude, just a great, short and informative video👌🙌...
You are right about eq and gain reduction. I've experienced when I use eq prior to compression the compressor won't be triggered as hard by lower mid frequencies. Also I tried to use two compressors after each other and had moderate gain reduction on both of them. It made it sound much more enjoyable than having only one compressor with lots of gain reduction.
Just wanted to say thank you. You save people so much time and money and I am one of them.
Thank you. I have to try all of these settings...
Amazing and informative video. I've been mixing at home for a decade and often forgot about some point described in the video. Thank you!
It would be great if you made the same themed video on some other basic instruments.
Thanks for another great video, Joe! That was probably the best explanation I've heard of how the Release time effects the overall compression (especially on a vocal). I'll be interested to try this on our house & broadcast mixers at my church this week too. I'm getting more comfortable with using compression (and knowing what to listen for), but Release time was something I still struggle to dial in, but I think this video just cleared up some of my confusion!
P.S. - My church was producing prerecorded services early on in the pandemic, and we had the musicians record audio AND video at home to a click track in order to still have "live" music in the service. I used Studio One to record all my drum tracks, and to mix/master the full band from home, and your videos played a huge role in that! That was when I finally decided to upgrade from Artist to Professional, and that season was the first time I heard a noticeable difference in my mixes! Still lots to learn, but thankful for the progress I made with the help of resources like you!
Thanks again for all the great content!!
Great video Joe ... and helpful.
U blew my mind with ur rule #2 and the way u explained the release. To focus on vowels n consonants🤟👏👏👏👏👏. Love n respect frm India❤️❤️❤️
I finally understand release, thank you!!!
Thanks so much for your videos! Rule # 2 really helped me out yesterday! EQ first then add compression if needed. Such a simple concept but very helpful!
This was fantastic. Subscribed!
ah i was about to watch some vocal compression videos and saw this in my reccomendations! thanks joe. I've always found it much harder to compress a vocal than drums or bass as the "input" varies so much so i find it harder to listen for
Thx for sharing.
So Helpful!
Well done! Thank you.Great info for a newb.
Best explanation!! Wish I would have found your video 3 years ago
Thanks Joe, Awesome.
so helpful for us beginners, love to see more from you,,,
Thanks Joe. I've been producing for 20 years but only started to use compression about 10 years ago when working with vocals for the first time. I used to sculpt everything manually but once I started recording vocals I realised that compression was needed. This is a very helpful video as I have never had a good ear for compression. I use Fabfilter's Pro-C2 compressor on vocals and although it gives users the visual representation of what is happening, videos like this are very helpful. Thank you for sharing you tips :)
This is a great explanation! I love the way you share your experience with the community. In the end it all boils down to taste but you are supplying the user manuals to the tools we need to use! Thank you so much!
Compressed knowledge, thanks!
Thanks for this knowledge...
thank you brilliantly you translate so that it is impossible not to understand💯
Great tutorial - Many thanks
Great videoooooo💎I’ve just understand everything about compression
Thank you so much for uploading this video. I learned a lot from you! It really helps me understand mastering vocals so I can do better! Thank you so much.
Glad you liked it.
Thanks for another good vid.
That’s super helpful thank u very much i really would like from you to help us on how to mix and master from start to finish 👍🏻❤️
Hey Joe thanks for posting your videos been helping a lot understanding how compressor works, I would really appreciate if you could make a mixing session for hip hop with stereo beat and vocals using eq, compressor, reverb and delays and other helpful tips, thanks again for your knowledge, the way you explain mixing and plugins makes so much easy to understand
This is a very helpful video!
Love the channel, Joe. Amazing videos! Any guidelines for automation on a full mix?
this was really helpful thank you!
Excellent Vid. For someone that is new to this world, you're making it easy! Well... at least easier.
