For the longest time I kept wondering why all my kicks after I mixed the songs would be very snappy but not really beefy because I use an LA2A vst on my kick bus but this has actually answered my question. Thanks Joe
Yes, I was hoping you would follow up the snare compression video with a kick video using a similar technique . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Feels good that I understand this and got it down! I'm just a hobby musician, but I AM a musician, that also mixes his own stuff, so it's good to know that I know some techniques.
So interesting seeing other peoples work. One session I worked on in a studio in Nashville, the producer taped a credit card to the head where the beater hit. He then split the kick into 3 channels and eq'd and compressed the high, mid and low separately. I've never used eq on drums at all. I guess I'll be trying this.
I LOVE YOU JOE! we both use the same DAW and you cut to the chase! clicked off an hour long video of someone explaining the same thing. you earned a subscriber!
Awesome video. A visual of the transient would be super helpful too - to show what the head and tail of the waveform look like when changing the attack and release. Cheers and keep it up!
I recently watched a tutorial that recommended a fast attack at around 5 m s . This sounds like bad advice me because it will clamp down on the clicky transient surely,,,,,,what do you say ?
If the release time is too long, can it start to impact the next transient? Like the compressor won't release before the next transient gets there? I'm wondering how a compression vs transient designer episode would go. 🤔
If the release is longer than the time between kick transients, you will be in permanent compression and lose all the character and dynamics of the kick
Hi Joe, I've been struggling to find a way to mix vocal and acoustic guitar that recorded on one mic. Would mean the world for me if you decide to do a video on this 🙏🏼 P.S. I use my zoom h6 to record it
Joe, how would this approach differ or be similar if working with a Superior Drummer 3 track? Remember, many of us homebodies don't have access to talented drummers to record! Thanks.
Two differrent things for two different purposes. Gate is for cutting out extra noise between hits. Compressor is for shaping the tone of the hits themselves. I almost never use a gate.
I was just hearing Adel's latest No.1 hit and I noticed it was a 4 track song, with each track being rather raw and not perfectly recorded. Sometimes I think too much, is too much.
This is the explanation I’ve always wanted on how compression works on on drums. Thank you!
First English teacher who explain so nice and easy , everyone can easily understand .

...omg you are the best audio production teacher in the world....respect!! we love you!!
that was really helpful, thank you
Best video on drum compression! So helpful….thanks!

What a great explanation. Getting the concept now
One of the best videos on kick compression. Thank you.
Top Draw . excellent explanation .
Really great explanation thanks 👌
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
How you demonstrated this was easier for me to understand. Thank you!

Nailed it, Joe... Thanks for this
Very cool!
It did help. Thanks!
Crystal clear
This is really good. A great explanation.
Wow , Thanks man !

Looking forward to trying these tips on cajon! Thanks, Joe!
Dude you're awesome. Thank you so much for your explanations. Love your humility. God bless you brother.

Very enlightening and easy to understand wonderful video Brother keep bringing the “noise” 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
Just found your channel and it is pure gold! Thank you so much, Joe :)!
Supper dope!!!!!
My phone speakers totally failed me on this video. Thank you to my studio headphones for clearing this up.
Great video Joe, as always!
Great simple explanation, Joe! Our buddy, Dave Filson, couldn't have done it better :D
Great video 👍🤘🏻
So helpful - cheers man 🙏🏻🤟
Absolutely fantastic explanation and tutorial, thanks so much sharing this with me :)
Hi Joe, can you explain the ratio? Why 4:1 on some things, 2:1 on others?
BOOM!!!
Hey brother, I believe that you mixed up your fast/slow explanation on the "release" of the "BOOM".
Great content as always.
How do you capture studio one and its audio?

Pretty much the same. The sounds on SD are dry to start with.
Great video ! Thanks Joe! oom is the sound a dyslexic cow makes.
😂
I wonder if this why my kicks don't have that "roundness" to them.. I have never bothered compressing them 🤔
You mentioned a gate. So.....when does one opt for a gate instead of a compressor??
Two differrent things for two different purposes. Gate is for cutting out extra noise between hits. Compressor is for shaping the tone of the hits themselves. I almost never use a gate.
Great video! Go Brandon!
But how to compress kick without losing it roundiness
Slower attack time, maybe.
I was just hearing Adel's latest No.1 hit and I noticed it was a 4 track song, with each track being rather raw and not perfectly recorded. Sometimes I think too much, is too much.
OOM is for "Out of mana". Everyone knows this ;)
I’m fresh out of manna
First!
