I love the fact that the young woman in the audience had the nerve, heart, and genuine curiosity to ask a very important question that many people believe that they already know. The magic is where JJP goes there and engages with the most beautiful, elegant, and descriptive answer. JJP came prepared with visuals, was very open, engaging, and passionate which is something that is rare and inspiring. Just incredible Thank you AES, JJP, and to the participants in the crowd who weren't afraid to show up and ask those questions that everyone has in their minds.
Well.... I am certainly happy to have watched and listened to this. Very good information here, I can already tell I'm better with compression and I haven't even used one since I've watched this yet. To understand why, is a proper foundation indeed.
stiil trying to understand, have been doing audio recording over 30 years, not convinced need for compression, i dont 'hear' it if anything it ruins the sound, ofcourse im doing something wrong not sure what lol but i will watch yet anoth video trying to explain this, it must be important, just not sure how
In 14:06 he sayd that with a fast (short) attack the peak moves to the beggining of the wave so the perception of the sound will be as faster or more in front. In this video ua-cam.com/video/yAqXnMOoxHI/v-deo.html he sayd at 07:30 min that slow attack make things more in front. Maybe someone can help me to clarify this.
Think of it in two ways. One is the first example. A don’t think of the first initial transient being affected by the compression. Think of what falls after. So if your first peak of the wave goes through, and then the compression kicks in, It cuts off the rest, then that item “sounds” fast. It’s a snap, compared to a held note. The second example. By allowing a slower attack, you are not compressing the signal so soon, so in essence it sounds more in front. Let’s say a snare hit. You let the transient through, with a slow attack, and then compress the rest of the sound of that snare and so it sounds more in front. If you set it to fast then you are grabbing that initial hit, and squashing it, which in effect will make it softer in your mix or more “in back”. Kind of like what he is saying in here where you could apply compression for volume, time, or placement in the mix. Really cool.
The gist is, compression reshapes a sounds volume envelope. A quick attack lowers the beginning of a sound, making the tail end more pronounced. So instead of you feeling the weight of that sound early, you will experience it later as the compression releases.
I love to hear JJP talk and mentor but honestly I don't like the sound of his mixes. I looked up his credits on Allmusic and listened to quite a few tracks. To me, sonically those mixes don't compare to Michael Brauar's work for instance. Someone change my mind.
They're just different. Michael does much more Radio pop work. You could check out Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics which is from an album he mixed and did pretty good on in my opinion.
Then I would say you are very adept at using compression or you don’t understand the profound meaning behind a lot of what Jack is saying here. this is one of the best videos on compression I’ve seen despite the rough production.
@@x13roger80 fair enough. In the hundreds of compression videos, audio school, and 25 years running sound, I’ve yet to hear someone talk about using compression musically, quite like him. But it’s fine. To each his own.

This guy is so friendly. Met him in NAMM 2018. Genuinely cares about the #musiccommunity
Wow, came here to learn about compression, but there is so much more. His philosophy of Audio Engineering just shines through.
He's a creative and technical genius, plus super inspiring1
So cool! JJP is a great teacher, communicator, and Artist. Yeah!
First time I’ve listened to JJP. This guy is freaking awesome.
A life changer this video

golden video
My First time listening to JJP!! #Genius 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Best compression video I’ve seen.
I see actually use compression to set the groove. You are very artistic I love it when science meets artistry.
Great Musicians are gonna make easer to achieve that.
Thank you
I'm super grateful for this video!
Jack Joseph Puig is just awesome..really nice advice
This video gave me better understanding of what the role of compression is. Now my mission is to compare 1176 with LE2 for sure. Thank you.
increible documento

Great!
Next time you should do one about "The art of noise reduction" :)
Wisdom speaking here....

Not clear for me how attack on compression can make something sound more in front or layd back.
Fast attack = Laid back
Slow attack = aggressive
Play with the knob while playing the music or whatever. You can tell the best with vocals

An example of attack and release can be heard in Tina turners what’s love got to do with it. Listen to the bass guitar!

Is it just me or is there a sync issue with the video?
All good here.
37.00... Kermit The Frog sounds pretty serious these days, didn't know he dived into mixing.

sign wave???? sine wave ...

“iris” is one of the best mixes of all time. “big girls don’t cry” is also a frequent sonic reference for me.
t's so disrespectful that people are always walking around in front of the camera
JJPs ego is out of control
Seems like babalnce needs more deffinition. ...
Also, the sky is NOT blue, it only appears that way. So now what...?
55 minutes of my life wasted

@@audioglenngineer the whole thing was a mess. Yes I am very adept when it comes to the nuances of compression. I left with nothing new
