This feels like I'm going to need a lot of experimenting time to get good at this! It's overwhelming! But you helped let me know why it's important.

I get that compression is used in 2 ways: accentuate the loud parts by flattening the sharp percussive peaks so you can turn those parts up without increasing overall volume, or de-accentuating the loud parts by flattening them so that the more quiet parts can also be turned louder. However, I can't work out in my brain what actual, if any, difference there really is between those two processes or how to choose the right settings to get what I want. I just know to put a ton of compression on any vocals or electric bass to keep it level in the mix. But this video is bringing it clearer to me.

I have literally spent years trying to get a grasp on mixing and this video series is so flawless. Thank you.... My mix is already sounding like a million bucks.

I've been trying to produce my own music now for the last 15 months or so, and I have yet to release a song because I have never been happy with the overall sound of my mixes...UNTIL NOW, thanks to this 6-Step process. Your videos and help is greatly appreciated on my end, especially because you use Logic! I work on a different genre of music than this, but nonetheless, (like he says) these techniques can be applied to any genre of music; my mix has never sounded better! I will be applying these steps to my productions for the rest of my days! Thank you very much once again for sharing and helping out so many people I'd imagine.

This is great. Thank you. You've explained compression in very easy to understand terms and your demos are easy to follow and practical. I will definitely use these techniques.

Thanks Colin for demystifying compression - I'm starting to hear some of your changes that had completely been lost on me. Maybe a video on creating a drum room?

Thanks again, Colin. A new thing for me was that you used the automatic release time quite a lot. It surely makes things a little bit easier. I hope I'm learning, because as we know: "repetitio est mater studiorum."

Hi. Your videos are great. Super helpful. Two questions. 1) What is the 'Knee" for? Why haven't you used it? 2) You use several different compression approaches (i.e., mono, stereo, and dual mono). When do you use each of them and why? Thanks!!!

Great stuff. First thought was way too many different reverbs and echoes … but … chapeaux, the result speaks for itself.

I used to only use one, but this type of blending has really helped improve my mixes (to my ears, at least!)

Wow! I love this video. It is quite an education in Compression. I am planning on stepping up to Logic this next month if the finances are there. My genre's tend to be less heavy and more clean that yours, I tend to use drums, bass, accoustic guitar for rhythm, and harmonica or electric guitar for soloing. My voice tends to be a bit nasal. Would you be able to do a video to cover that sort of setup?

I'm glad it was helpful, Terry! Would love to- just need to find a good example track

You’re the absolute bomb, I was just watching a video yesterday explaining the differences in each of the logic compressors, and a logic based video on how to apply better compression techniques is always useful🎉 one thing I definitely want, is to find a way to use the compressor without triggering any actual compression, but be able to use the distortion knob inside of it, set to “soft” and just have that on some tracks to add some natural color to everything in the song! Maybe I’ll be too much, maybe I’ll need to turn this into a bus process and bleed it into everything

@TheBandGuide 5 ай бұрын

I'm glad this was helpful! You can definitely use the compressor for that- just raise the threshold all the way up and it shouldn't trigger any compression.

@Bittamin 5 ай бұрын

@@TheBandGuidethank you!! I noticed you said that in this video, and oddly enough even as intuitive as these little things should be I definitely still get myself mixed up, so definitely thank you very much for always sharing these videos!! It’s been awesome seeing you start uploading logic content! 😊

@neilkuhn2358 4 ай бұрын

Great stuff thank you 🙏 Do you happen to know the function of the “knee” knob on some of the compressors?

@johnmccabe3257 2 ай бұрын

Great video! Well done. I use drum designer a ton - but had always heard 'don't compress' - that they were already compressed?

@TheBandGuide 2 ай бұрын

That's a great question! They don't need to be compressed to contain their dynamics like you would need to for a live recording- here we're using compression to shape how they interact within the full mix instead

@TimmoMcGinn 4 ай бұрын

Gidday mate from NZ again….. big takeaway for me was in bus compression using dual mono and coupling. I see it defaults to L. Does that mean it brings the R levels in line with the L?
