- PRO2: Compression is Mind Boggling, Here's How to MASTER It!
If you've ever heard that "you don't really need compressors", I hate to break it to you, but that is a lie. People say this because the compressor is a less intuitive technology than say an equalizer. Still, along with the EQ, this is one of the two most pivotal audio effects you can use for your mixes. In this episode, we break it down and teach you how to use the compressor!
In this episode:
- Why you need compression in your mixes
- How to use threshold and ratio to set where your sound is being compressed and by how much it is being compressed!
- Using attack and release to control how sounds fit into the mix
- Getting the specific character you want in your sound from the compressor
