Jono - I’ve just watched all your videos on Logic, and I found them clear, focussed and unambiguous. This accuracy with no unnecessary or superfluous dialogue makes them easy to follow, informative, and very enjoyable. Thank you very much indeed. (And yes, I subscribed)
Thanks Jono, I had a completely wrong concept of parallel compression until you explained it so well and the way automation was demonstrated was superb! Well you have done it again! Another great tuition and please keep up explaining what key commands you use as you go through the video, so helpful to me as well. Thank you so much.
I think this is the most Fantastic and easy-to-understand video on the entire RUclips on parallel compression. Sir, Thank you so much for making the life of aspiring artists with your knowledge
This is a great explanation about parallel compression, I finally figured out how to use a compressor and wrapped my head around that, and this gave me some extra tools for my tool box thank you so much!
this might be the best video on para comp I have found on youtube. So clear to understand and even as a bass producer I've learned so much. Well done mate
Wow man, you are a really great teacher. Very clear and concise and an excellent graphical display to your computer while you explain things. Thank you!
The new parallel compressor channel is inserting gain in the mix, clearly this would create the sense of more energy when inserting it. Great video but gain staging is essential for accurate comparison.
Excellent info. Clear, concise and dumbed down for any newbie yet a great refresher for any expert that might need a back to basics lesson. Only thing is with a British accent like yours I keep waiting for you to go off on a tangent about Frodo or Narnia and an imminent Orc invasion. I imagine when you hear an American do the same you expect to be sold a used car you didn't want.
Nice n simple explanation sick job man … quick question though I see you have a master rack working doesn’t this change how the parallel compression sounds would of been great to hear it without any mastering!!’ With me saying that great video man
I never thought to ask this but why not just duplicate the drums track and turn down the other instruments except for the heaviest transients? Is it the glue?
Jono, as a first year undergraduate on a degree with no prior experience of music tech, I really appreciate this video. Is parallel compression the same sort of concept as side chain, or is it different? Sorry if the question is daft 😊
This is fantastic to hear. Glad MT and Jono can help, Jeremy. Parallel compression differs to sidechain compression. In short, sidechain compression is when you route a signal to a compressor on another channel. The compressor will activate only when triggered by the incoming signal. The most common example of this is in electronic music, in which the kick drum - often the driving force - activates a compressor on the bass channel. The compressor will “duck” the bass every time the kick drum plays. Hope that helps!
Incredibly hard grooving track, with a lovely chord progression. (the first one) Is it your own creation? And of course an excellent explanation regarding parallel compression. Thank you very much, master.
Your videos are always really clear and easy to follow so thank you! I was just wondering if when mixing vocals, does it ever make sense to do multiple compressors? For instance, using dual faster and slower compressors directly on the main vocal track, and then having a separate track with heavy parallel compression for some added crunch to the vocals? Would those three compressors work well together?
Great stuff! I am wondering, how is this different than setting the "stereo out" of all four channels to Bus 3, instead of using "send". I figure there is a difference, but was wondering what that difference is technically and how that would change the outcome and also the control you would have. I'm guessing one is pre-fader and the other one is post maybe? Thanks a lot for your tutorials, they are massive help.
Send Effects allow you to send varying amounts of each signal to the effect.Allowing you to alter at will.If you change the output as you say, then you would be sending all of the signal.
Hi ! Great video but I've some question concerning the "send mod" that you select when sending your original track into your bus. By default Logic Pro put it on "Post Pan" mod but there's also the "Post Fader" and "Pre Fader" mod. What are the differences between these 3 mods ? I mainly understand parallel processing and parallel compression but I don't understand this point ^^ And also what about the general volum of your drums when parallel compression is on ? Does this means, for example with what you've done, that the general volum of your drums is louder ? Specially when using the automation, does the DAW compensating it ? Thx for your work and excuse me for bad english ^^
Should be pre-fader. Then you can turn the drum sub fader down and still get the same signal sent to the PC aux. Imagine if you had to automate volume on the drum sub somewhere.. you would change the amount of signal sent to the PC compressor which is set to work at a certain threshold. So you would have that problem of also having to automate that threshold. Pre-fader fixes it.. just make sure that PC aux is also sent to the sub master.
I’m not sure if this question has been asked or not, but would you apply this Parallel Compression Aux before or after the Drum Mix Bus has been processed? Thanks!
Does the "AUTO' button affect your release? I would assume you want to disable it ,if your going to manually control the release on Logic's compressor.
Could you post a new video every day please? I would use it as my bedtime story.
Track is slamming….love it!
you have no clue how much motivation you just added to my love for making music
Probably the clearest explanation and demonstration of this production technique I have seen on RUclips. Thank you, Jono.
Im using logic for 10 years now and i just learned so many new stuff just in this one video
Jonno's brilliant.Its "Hi Im Jonno ..."and then straight in, no messing about .

Thank you, Peter. That's the best feedback we could hope for! Really pleased to hear you're finding them useful.
Your tutorials are so clear and concise I love them! So easy to follow along without the waffle! Brilliant series!

You're very welcome!
Great series of tutorials Jono. Thanks for being so clear, thorough and making it not about you. Great help.
I get it now- especially how to use it for arrangement dynamics THANKS
You are everything. Always the best, handsdown. A thorough and natural born teacher.

Great to hear!
Perfectly explained! Thanks for making sense of this. Brilliant!
So Great explained thumbs up great Video
Thank you so much sir ❤️
Fantastic stuff .

Wow man, you are a really great teacher. Very clear and concise and an excellent graphical display to your computer while you explain things. Thank you!
Thanks great video and explained perfectly
...you are always in my prayers..magical Jono...hello from Italy!!!
Great tutorial Thank You. Also good to hear that style of music for a change. Subbed.
Used it right away in one of my project and made a HUGE difference...Thanks again
Bro, that song!! 😍
such a good and informative video thank you so much
Subscribed with 💯 % satisfaction. Best Logic Pro teacher in the universe ✌️
Thank you so much for your help!
Excellent demonstration Jono. Thank you for describing all the small details through every step of the tutorial.
This is wonderful. Thank you!

Your mix really rocks
Great teaching
Great video and easy to follow, thank you :)
The first video on parallel compression I understand! Great video! Subbed!
I'm always delighted by your videos, thank you once again!
Great video. Thank you.
as always, superbly explained and demonstrated... THANKS!!!
You’re such a gift for us brother! Thank you for your work and talent. Really appreciate you
nice one Jono been a long time since you taught me at Brighton University. Hope your'e doing well mate
yes i had to wrong concept of parallel comperssion you explaind eazly tenx bro
Excellent!
Thanks so much!
That song gave me 1975 vibes Great lesson!
Amazing. Simple. Brilliant. Thanks.

They _are_ taking the hobbits to Isengard.
Jono -- damn you always make it look so darn easy!!!! Thanks for another tool for the toolbox!
Thak you for your videos, they are so informative and so clearly presented.
Thanks! But there is also a mix button on the compressor, if you want to do it on just one track, no?
Jono, thanks! Great tutorial, as always.
Glad you liked it!
Nice n simple explanation sick job man … quick question though I see you have a master rack working doesn’t this change how the parallel compression sounds would of been great to hear it without any mastering!!’ With me saying that great video man
this really super. thanks so much!
Awesome!!!! thank you for sharing!!!!
Thanks
Amazing
Thanks that helped me understand it better.
Another gem. Cheers John, super tutorial ✊
Great tip. Try out immediately! 👍🏻
JONO IS THE BEST........Thank youuuuuuu.....
awesome vid - nice and clear. but when i do this i get phasing occuring?
Great sounds and groove! Good one.
So well explained thank you!
Great tutorial, as always.🙌
Thank you 🙌
this was so helpful! thank you!
Another great video - many thanks. Do you take requests? Something on using the different types of markers available in Logic perhaps? :)
Good idea, Andrew. We'll ask Jono!
Perfect tutorial. Thanks!
Great tutorial. Thanks 👍 👌
When would you use track-based automation over region-based? 🤔
Amazing Tutorial!
When you do this, you're also increasing the overall drum volume, right? You're not attenuating the original signal, just adding to it.
I never thought to ask this but why not just duplicate the drums track and turn down the other instruments except for the heaviest transients? Is it the glue?
very helpful, thank you very much :)

it's "Neon Dreams" from the Prismatica sound pack in Logic Pro

Could you explain the plugins on your master bus and what they do?
nice video. can anyone mention the song name?
Hi ! Great video but I've some question concerning the "send mod" that you select when sending your original track into your bus. By default Logic Pro put it on "Post Pan" mod but there's also the "Post Fader" and "Pre Fader" mod. What are the differences between these 3 mods ?
I mainly understand parallel processing and parallel compression but I don't understand this point ^^
And also what about the general volum of your drums when parallel compression is on ? Does this means, for example with what you've done, that the general volum of your drums is louder ? Specially when using the automation, does the DAW compensating it ?
Thx for your work and excuse me for bad english ^^
Should be pre-fader. Then you can turn the drum sub fader down and still get the same signal sent to the PC aux.
Imagine if you had to automate volume on the drum sub somewhere.. you would change the amount of signal sent to the PC compressor which is set to work at a certain threshold.
So you would have that problem of also having to automate that threshold. Pre-fader fixes it.. just make sure that PC aux is also sent to the sub master.
You failed to mention that the send should be pre-fader.
nice track! what is it?
I’m not sure if this question has been asked or not, but would you apply this Parallel Compression Aux before or after the Drum Mix Bus has been processed?
Thanks!
Jonno, is there any benefit of individual channel sends to the parallel channel versus a send from a drum sub-mix bus?
Does the "AUTO' button affect your release? I would assume you want to disable it ,if your going to manually control the release on Logic's compressor.
I think you're right. His Release changes were overridden by the fact that "auto" was selected.
Hi!
Why do we pull the volume fader up from the bus instead of just pulling down the bus signal?
You could do either. But if you’re moving the channel fader then the bus send should be at unity gain always.
