  • What's up guys in this video I breakdown one of the most important plug-ins: Compression. I start from the basic fundamentals easy to understand for any beginner that's never even used a compressor before, and we work our way up to an expert level and I show you guys the best industry methods. I take you into Logic Pro X and we compress some vocals together using the free stock plug-in that comes with Logic.

    Ok so I have been making music for about year now, I started on FL studio have a idea of what everything does and how to use it. I just got a Mac and Logic and im watching all the videos to learn the software I shit you not probably 40 videos so far, you are hands down the best person to explain everything. I thought I knew how compression worked but now I have a very good understanding on how it works. Now imma go watch all of your other tutorials, Thank you so much. You are really deserve more subscribers!

    Could you possibly do a video explaining how to add multiple compressors and how to do more of the mastering of compression? This video was very good for showing that step 1 of compression, but I'm looking for that Step 2 and I love the way you explain things. Even if not, keep it up man.

    @GladysGrace001 3 года назад

    Awesome explanation of Compression. You're a great teacher. This was definitely a PRO tutorial. Have not seen not one video on YT explained it the way you did. Much thank you.
    Just some extra notes below for those who needs it :)
    1.Headroom is the available space in dB (decibels) between your loudest peak level (transients) and 0 dBFS (decibels full scale). It's a buffer you leave unused.
    2.The *GRAPH* is the *Meter Level* which corresponds with *RATIO* settings, which then corresponds with the *THRESHOLD.*
    3. *ATTACK* - How quickly you want the compression to FADE IN - *RELEASE* - How quickly you want the compression to FADE OUT - just another way to process the concept of Attack & Release.

  • @SpaceJockey805
    @SpaceJockey805 4 года назад +2

    Good video homie. Been looking for someone to breakdown this down in a concise way, and you did it. Most of these RUclips engineers make it way more confusing than it needs to be. Track sounds smooth too, good luck on your road to seven figures.
