Audacity Tutorial 2021 - Compressor Settings ULTIMATE GUIDE How To Use Compression -FREE EQs
In this video, I talk about Compression in Audacity and how to use it to your benefit. Compression deals with the dynamic range of sounds. It can make quiet parts louder, and loud parts quieter. Audacity's compression tool creates congruence. I show you how to measure, change the compressor's Threshold, and change the ratio to create more congruence in your audio.

Josh Meyer is the VOICEOVERMASTER for sure. He helped us with our EQ settings and they were right on. He knows his stuff. Retain him for your sound, audio, and voice over needs. Major thumbs up for Josh Meyer
Love Givers !❤️ Thanks so much! 🙏
Great tutorial! I really appreciate your approach to teaching. I was overwhelmed and lost last week, took a timeout, walked through your recent 2022 Audacity tutorial and some of your other videos (like this one), and I'm glad that I could find your channel. Many thanks!
The best video on the subject I have seen!
Unlike all the others I have watched, you used really good examples all the way through...thank you so much!
Thanks so much! 🙏 you’re welcome!
Seriously a huge help. This was quick and to the point, and you explained it in terms a noob like me would understand. much appreciated
You've updated this! Sweet a new video. These really are incredibly helpful.
I stand 4-5 feet away from a shotgun mike. I knew boosting gain was not the way to make me louder, but its all I knew to do. I had no idea a compressor could make me sound louder without clipping gain. I adjusted the compressor settings and its working great, thanks!
I cannot belive i haven't been using this for my podcast. Thank you so much, Josh! You definitely have our back!!
You’re so so welcome! 😊
finally i'm satisfied with a compression video for audacity! thank you so much!!! the other i've seen are all like "just keep trying till you find the sound you like" and explain nothing about the features.... this video actually explained it to me
thank you so much! I'm liking and subscribing, amazing!
Josh!! Thank you so very much for sharing your incredible talents with us! I have only just started a Podcast and your tutorials have been game changing for me. I downloaded your Female EQ's (all 3) and LOVE the effect they have on my recordings. I haven't posted anything yet, but you will be in the credits, not just for your amazing EQ's but your generosity of heart to share them. Many blessings my friend, Deb 🥰🥰🥰
Hire Josh Meyer to help you with your Voice Talent and Audio Needs. VoiceOverMaster is not just a title, it is what he is and what he does. Major thumbs up for Josh Meyer. He helped us and he can help you. Hire him, he is a Master at this.
Givers university is amazing! Thank you so much for your support 🙏
I have read a few articles about dynamic audio compression but they left me more confused than enlightened. This video was very helpful. The demo with Audacity was excellent. Thanks for the tutorial.
Wow this is exactly what I needed! Your timing couldn't have been any better. Kudos!
So glad I could help you!🙏
Thank you, this makes so much sense!
I paused this video at 8:21 minutes to make this comment. This is actually the best video i have watched on this topic ever since i started vo for my channel.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate you 🙏🤙
Thank you! Haven't realized that changing the threshold would work as well.
Josh. Great video. Thanks again for helping me get the right equipment, correct settings, and techniques. It has made such a difference. If anyone is needing help... Josh is your best choice to help.
Thanks so much Jim!
Great explanation. Cheers mate!
Thanks Josh. You've been my "Go to Guy" for some of the problems I've had with my music vocal recordings. I took up singing and recording as my hobby when the virus lockdown started. It might seem strange to say that I've quite enjoyed being locked down.
So thanks again. Cheers👍
You’re so welcome Michael!
i am very grateful for this, thank you! perfect explanation for clueless person like me wanting make the audio in my video better.
This has helped me so much, thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial , it is easy to understand
I was really struggling to get my head around this feature but this video was really fantastic. Thanks!
Thank you. It helped.
What a fantastic overview with a well-paced delivery. My only observation is to clarify the term congruence, which is used prolifically in the context of sound. Superb video.
Thanks so much bro 🙏
Short Video, not wasting my time but you see? all the informations and details I need are covered in just one single video! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS VIDEO HELPS ME A LOTTTT bro. you are amazing and talented! I believe your videos will help tons of people nowadays in making their content. you will be a legend someday, just keep doing on this great stuff bro👊
Terima kasih banyak 🙏
You saved me a ton, thank you!!
Thank you for this video, man! Really help me here
Thank you!
Very helpful video....nice and clear....thank you so much Josh....
You’re so very welcome 😊🙏
great tutorial..thanks bro👍
I'm gonna enable notification on this channel. i wish you make this type of detailed video about normalization, EQ, and other audacity settings. Thanks
Nice tutorial!
Two people told me they found my voice soothing. So of course I had to record myself reading bedtime stories, because all my friends are stressed the freak out and I wanted to give them something that could help them out . Then, I struggled and got frustrated because I wanted a nice recording, obviously, but I know jackshit about sound stuff. And now I feel hopeful because you explain stuff nicely AND I GET IT and I'm so going to bingewatch your videos once I've slept a bit :p
You are Great.
Good info, thanks Josh!
Thanks Bret!🤙
@@VoiceOverMaster Can you recommend a royalty free music site?
thanks for the eq's mate
Thanks so much! 🙏
Great content as usual, Josh.
Can you also maybe do a video concentrating on reverb and echo effects? Thanks!!
Thanks Kaivan! I certainly consider it and out on the list 🤙
good stuff. thanks😎
At the end of this video, i can confess that as far as Compressor is concerned, you have solved my major problem. Thank you very much. I appreciate you.
After i made this comment, i went on to create this channel and apply this and right now this second channel is doing far better than this other channel i used to make the above comment. Thank you ones again, Josh
Thanks man!
You’re welcome! 🙏
Hi,
Very usefull and professional.
Thanks.
You’re welcome!
Thank you! Using this knowledge for my Vocaloid English cover singing channel/vtuber channel. Thanks!
thank you so much God bless
Thank you so much Josh. Great vid as usual. Have you any videos on mixing saxophone? I'm battling to get things sorted when recording/mixing sax. Thanks again
you just saved me approximately 2hr and 15min on every single video that I do. You will end up in Heaven.
If Kenny is for Reaper, I think this guy is for Audacity. TQ All.
I love whoever processed this! Because it's simple for engineering but hard for simps
You have the ultimate voice acting / voice over voice. Jesus. It's like heaven sent you.
BOOM!!! Damn dude that was dope. VERY well explained. I learned something today thanks to the VoiceOverMaster.
Hell Yeah !!
I am big fan thanks brother
1:37 proper video starts
Osm sir 😊😊😊
THANK YOU i was literally manually changing the audio levels in my video editor and it took forever to get it to not peak 😂
Its a pleasure listening to your teachings, new sub from kraazy South Afrika, did you see the new Audacity update yesterday? Can u please do a tutorial on the most useful features of the update....Otherwise keep it real and respekt...
what type of work have you been doing voice-overing? I feel like your voice sounds very familiar. also thanks for good turtorials!
Where were you when I started out 8 months ago. I completed an audiobook on Amazon and probably could have done it in half the time or even less if I had known you then.
That was fantastic, great example and walk through. I'd still like to know what Noise Floor means, though.
Thanks so much! 🙏 maybe another video soon 🤙
I was confused as to why the track was louder after compression instead of quieter. Upon review I noticed that you put a check mark on "Make-up gain for 0 dB after compressing." If I understand correctly, you are compressing the louder portions of the track, but then amplifying the entire track to maintain the loudness level.
Regarding the Ratio - What would be a good rule of thumb or at least a school of thought when making considerations between voice acting/dialogue vs. podcast/voiceover. Would I be right to conclude that the latter would benefit from a higher ratio whereas a lower ratio would benefit an acting performance because it retains more energy/dynamics?
Many Thsnkf ro your channel and your knowledge. All The Best
Hi Josh I have been learning a lot from your videos, I have a question maybe you can help me with, I have a Blue Yeti and I use it to record my voice and not any music, when using it with Audacity should my PROJECT SAMPLE RATE be 44100 or 48000hz? Windows 10 sets the default at 16bit 4800hz DVD QUALITY but should I also change Audacity from 44100 to 4800hz? Please advise
Take a drink every time dawg says congruence
What I would like to know is what in your opinion is the best free de esser, I have a really nasty siblances issue and I wanna know if there is an easier way than going through one by one lol
Best
Hi, I wandering if there is any way to do the translation on audio file and record it? Technically I know it is, but I was trying to do it and it's not working. In some points when you translating you need to stopto think of a correct words and restart again. I hope you got some ideas and I'm sure it will be useful for many people.. Appreciate your job what you do, I learned allot from your videos.
Since compression can raise the volume of the quieter parts, would it be best to perform noise reduction and noise gate after compression is finished?
Thanks for the great tutorials! Just to clarify - are we trying to get rid of the dynamic change? For a vocalist, we often want those dynamic changes. How/why do we do compression in those situations? Thanks Josh!
You want the dynamics as a vocalist but we don’t want the quiet parts to be soo quiet it’s hard to hear them over the music. 🤙
@@VoiceOverMaster So only use a light amount of compression then?
@@hollyt15 exactly. It’s about a healthy balance 😊🤙
would you compress a whole 1h long interview for a podcast or would you do only one one part? I get both opinions on this... so let's ask the Pro ;-)
Hi Josh, greetings from CHIAPAS MEXICO.
I have a question about the sweet recipe and the addition of compressor, so, could we say that this is the order of the sweet recipe or where should be the compressor's place?
1 Noise Reduction
2 Noise Gate
3 Loudness Normalization
4 EQ
5 Compressor?
6 Limiter
and run ACX?
Thanks in advance for your time and effort with the videos, they are really well explained and pretty deep but on a simple understandable way, even for me as a non native English speaker.
Greetings again.
Do you even need to compress at all, when the whole recording is made at essentially the same loudness?
It really just depends. Most of us need to use a little compression at least. It’s it’s already insanely equal I don’t believe so bit it also depends on what your RMS is reading as.
Hey man maybe you can help me out checked through several of your vids but couldnt find this, so i do all the editing mixing on my songs but when i export to mp3 it exports with standard presets, i'm trying to get it exported with all the work i did to it.
I have an OLD Audacity 2.2. What should I UPGRADE to, so I can successfully download use ACX Check?
Josh check out the work I been putting in from your tutorials
Thank you!!!!
This is really handy video, however, the pencil tool example should not have been a plosive, those are best handled with a multi-band compressor (applied to a small selection) set to just reduce the low end. The pencil is used for join two waveforms that don't meet at zero when pasted in or fixing pops and clicks in a waveform where you can't mute because there is other content that needs to remain. Drawing out a glitch artfully would allow you to remove unwanted click or pop and make it unnoticeable. You can really "deep fake" an edit with that pencil but it takes practice.
It was really nice tutorial very good teaching techniques, thanks. Sir I’m facing problems with the time shifting tools it’s not appear on the latest Audacity would please let me know how to get back time shifting tools, I will really appreciate if you can solve this issue, thanks
Sorry Boss, I missed your tutorial regarding the time shift tools, just now I saw your tutorial and found everything okay thank you very much
In a talk between two speakers , one is speaking in low volume and the other one in high volume ; how can i auto - select all audio on the person with low volume based on audio level ?
Hey , for right now I just began getting my equipment.. as of right now all I have is my computer , daw(audacity), 2 cheap okay microphones but no audio interface yet , and earbuds .. do I need more cables or an interface just for my computer to pick up either one of my microphones to record because as of right now I think it only has been picking up recording’s offf my computer instead picking up vocals from me plugging in my cord microphones..
Yes. You’ll need xlr cables to connect the mic to the interface
Say you're narrating an audiobook where you do the voices for female and male characters. Different characters have different pitches and different ways of speaking. You want to keep them different. Should you avoid compression?
I think the mic quality also effects the compressor
Can't test out the EQs cause the options are greyed out. Please advise.
Couldn't you use the "amplify" in the Effects drop-down menu to raise the sound level of the softer vocal?
How would you put down the volume of the loud parts?
Why do TV shows not understand this? They start and people are talking a whisper so you turn the volume up then a song kicks in AND IT'S LOUD AS FUCK.
Would this help if say I had to take multiple takes, but I accidently fucked with my Mic's volume settings in between each take by any chance?
It should 🤙
Im a religious s7nger. Can u guide how to edit female singing vocals?
You can compress me anytime, Josh. Oh, no she didn't! 😋
Haha you’re awesome Kate! ❤️😊
What kind of setting should be in compressor.
And what threshold
So here’s a question: My VO Coach just directed me on my commercial demo. She had me do it in one long track, but asked me to separate into individual wav files to send to her 😱 So..HELP? Gulp.
Oh geez… sorry 😢
First
Nailed it😂
2nd
Nailed it! Lol
saw a maple leaf commercial , calling it natural summer food , guys theres nothing natural about processed meat . 0
gringo... 🤧
Very peaked audio…
Thanks for the effort and this video, But to all Christians out there don't get tattoos. Tattoos can open demonic portals in your life. And it seems like it also had pagan and witchcraft roots. Also other believers that have had tattoos regret it and testified against it. Though I'm not condemning anyone I just want to share that, Once again thanks Josh!
Leviticus 19:28
King James Version
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
King James Version
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and *ye are not your own?*
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God *in* your body, and *in* your spirit, which are God's.
And it seems like in this verse it is saying that we should glorify God in us and did not say "glorify God in and out your body." So in our body can mean like attitude or behavior or something like that which is in our body and in our spirit which is the holy spirit. That is my understanding, I am not condeming anyone I suggest asking God for this matter if you are planning to get tattoos or have those already I just want to share the word.
I think you need to learn more about what threshold is in compression before you tout yourself as an expert on the subject.
Thanks for the info, but you spent way too long repeating yourself and could've explained this in under 5 minutes.
Sir please check your email, I have send my voice, and request you to reply back on gmail with a personal EQ of my voice, love your videos, keep up the good work
Thank you!
