I have never seen somebody explain compression so effectively in 2 minutes😂 Brilliant video
Thanks gang!! Stoked to hear new BA tunes soon!!
Exactly the video I've wanted for years, not how a compressor works but when and WHY to use it.
You just changed how I see compression completely! Amazing video 🤯
Great video bro, explained it perfectly. What compressor are you using? I'm trying to find a compressor that visually shows the compression like that!
best compression tutorial on youtube I stg thanks clove ❤
pure truth Man!! Stop putting compressor randomly !! :)
What is the plugin equalizer in the top of your screen called
Minimeters he just said it in the video
Great video. Breaks the norm a bit to rely solely on your ears but the kick is such a crucial element that you should use everything you can to get it right. Thanks dude.
Man these tutorials are freaking stellar 🙌✨️👌😍
thx for saving my mix man, just turning a few knobs on the compressor added everything that I missed on the kick sample I'm using rn. more punch, softer hit, tried a bunch of things on the eq and nothing seemed to work and now you explained everything and gave me the missing lesson on compression, understand so much more about it now, thank u man!
P.S: and yes it would have been easier to just use a balanced kick sample :P it just had the sound to it u know xp
great stuff dude! a little Trick I wanna share: For the last Sample my choice would go for a Clipper (V Clip is great for that), clip the peak and shape simultaneously through the Clipping Modes (hard, soft, etc.)
An adjustment of the high end can also reduce that initial click volume
A kick from a sample pack is already going to be overly processed, because they want to make the sounds loud so you buy them - Do you think this still applies to someone who uses a virtual instrument like a 909 or 808? We are producers who don’t use samples much at all and we do use compression… Well you went over this question as I was writing out the comment - Is it wrong to use compression on Kick’ from VST’s?
Probably the best video I've ever seen. Thanks.
Been in this game a long time. This is a very informative post. Keep it up
Great video, but even more importantly--THANK YOU so much for suggesting the MiniMeters plug-in. I've been looking for this for a few weeks. I knew there had to be a plug-in like this. All the other plug-ins were simple spectrographs or basic waveform views. This looks perfect.
Appreciate your video’s man, we need more people like you, Nice to see Someone on RUclips that accually can make a sick sounding song💪💪🔥
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing
great bro, have a production channel too. unfortunately only in GER language. subbed. IF i compress kicks I usualy do this to tame the transient (if too peaky). which is then a super fast attack time. like clip / limiter. but you are right most of the times no comp is needed on single kick. group is another topic.
NICE vid, thanks dude! well explained
good point with processed kicks
bro explained compression in 30 seconds better than most 10 minute tutorials on youtube
Nice tutorial bro, subscribed.
good video, a bit nitpicky, but the reason that the 3rd example doesnt really work without lookahead isnt that a "computer is only so fast". Every sample is always processed, if the computer had delay, the output would be delayed, but fully processed, so the reason the compressor still lets the transient through is more an inherent property of how compressors respond to signals. Actually analog gear would proabably behave very similarly, since analog doenst really have an (easy) option for lookahead.
Yo, ur a legend man, your videos are so good! Can u maybe do a breakdown of Watch That Tongue? I love that tune!
As soon as the gain surpasses the threshold, it is reducing gain. The attack does not act like a delay before compression hits, it acts like a fade in. It's the amount of time it takes it to go from un-compressed, to fully compressed.
Hey Cloverdale, when listening to Tinlicker, their kicks sound so clear and powerful, easily cutting through the mix. However, when I try emulating that (especially during the mixing & mastering stage) my kicks cannot have that much volume and clarity in the mix without clipping and distortion. In short, I cannot achieve the same relative volume balance while aiming for -6 to -9 LUFS.
Any tips on balancing your kick within your mix to achieve clear & punchy kicks like Tinlicker? (example tracks would be Sleepwalker and Bird Feeder)
Side chain certain tracks to your kick so they subtley "duck" under the kick snap =)
Very useful, thanks!
How can i see the wave form in Ableton so that i can see what the effect is from the compressor, the thing you have on top of the screen.

You could also just edit(split transient and body) the samples levels and render a new sample, or a mixture of both. ...or just use the EQ like you did, EQ is in fact just a compile of levels
thanks!!!very useful
Good video mate. 👍🏻
brilliant idea
Great job man 👍💪 thanx
You gotta Compress to Impress
You gotta jizz if you wanna be The Wiz
If you're using samples it's likely already compressed anyway, so no need for compression. Live drums will more likely need compression to control wayward peaks.
nice one
What are you using to see the wav form as it plays and can I use it on Logic?
Watch the video and listen to the part where he says exactly what it is, how much it costs, etc.
Lololol
🔥🔥
thanks
Ty bro🔥😈💪
You're awesome
Rvox does something nice
Dude, you missed the word ‘samples’ off the end of your video title.
this might work for you but it wont work for everyone. i've always compressed my kicks as it adds punch to them and it's what established producers have taught me to do
If you actually watched the video you'd know that he isn't saying there's no reason to ever compress a kick, and includes an example of a kick that would benefit from compression.
