Hi Boss! Just want to give you an acknowledge for all the work and effort you put in to make mixing easier for other people. You are pretty unique in that way. I do hope you get some ”beans back” also because you help a lot of people and for that you deserve a lot of acknowledges. All the best! 🙂

Super simple to understand and highly logical approach. Will try it on my stuff and see how I get on 👏👏

[@TheBandGuide]

Nice! Glad it was helpful :)

Hi Colin, just in case you haven't an idea of just how helpful you are, you've literally given me hope to succeed when I at one time felt hopelessly with no where to turn..thanks..heartfelt, Dan Mia

[@user-qy9bv1iq1h]

Very practical, easy to understand and to the point. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

Excellent episode. This really helps me understand your options in Logic. And I love what I’m hearing in the second tune!

[@davidpruyne]

Thank you! This is a very clear and concise video on compression. It helps. Give me a better understanding and I will try these on my projects. Excellent teaching thank you so much!

[@TheBandGuide]

Thnx C. Nice to get comparisons on settings between get and opto and genres….. I’ve tended to avoid makeup gain altogether and relied on the metered output gain to take away the ear guesswork on db. Possibly bad form?Apparently you do need to use the makeup gain option if you are varying the mix or parallel compression

[@guitarplayer5932]

colt capperune and other engineers shocked me when they said they compress vocals up to -40db with multiple compressors

[@UlfKronman]

I think this is about the most instructional video on compression I have seen (... and I've seen a lot). With your demonstration I can both see and *hear* (for the first time) what the compression is doing to the voice track. Was it really that easy?

[@bobbiebowers]

Hi great vid again, would you process these vocals with the compressor as an insert or from a bus ?

[@TheBandGuide]

On my lead vocal I always compress directly on the channel. Occasionally I'll use bus compression for backing vocals if they are fairly uniform

[@johnvender]

As you said because the quiet sections get very little if not zero compression resulting in the make up gain increasing their level to the ear this can make the track sound louder than it actually is for a given make up gain. I tend to put a meter set to peak ahead and after the compressor and adjust make up gain so they match to get true unity gain. Am I being too obsessive?
When you mentioned using two compressors one after the other I thought of Analog Obsession's brilliant Comper which can do this well in one free plugin.

[@TheBandGuide]

I'll have to checkout Comper! I hadn't heard of that one.
Personally I don't think there's need to be that precise since there are some moments that will differ more on the front end of the compressor than on the output. For these type of adjustments, I prefer to rely more on my ears and focus on how it sounds

[@namborusdoug]

Donde consigo esos compresores?

[@TheBandGuide]

They are the stock Logic compressors
