I agree

You need to do some serious detective work. I wander myself what has transpired...

Definitely yes

What happened

Bring this foo back😢

I made this even more worthwhile by listening to this at 1.5x speed lol

Yea i didnt understand it from other videos. This guy saved me

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH@@jackchen3903

@@PROJECTJoza100 people often think we automatically know about all the terms they're talking about

@@Editisement "Yeah, just leave that. That's not important" is what I hear in most tutorials and it's annoying

This is for mastering

He isnt active anymore?

last upload: 3 years ago

I think he's dead. Why else wont he post? The views are not bad. Honestly, the quality of explanation here is VERY high. He taught me in 10 minutes what a 3 hour paid so called 'masterclass' couldn't. If u are reading this senpai, please post more videos! :(

Thanks for the feedback! glad it was helpful :)

Glad it helped :)

Thank you very much. More to come!

@@electronicproducer4603 Show some sign that you are alive please.

@@CryptoChanakya right!😂

i need to ask have you made some music?

dramduty why😂

Virendra Shah i cant remember

Dramduty you are saying as if you are like armin ...paul van dyk.....tiesto or .....😂

haha legit the same 😂 if you haven't check out his EQ video, really helped me too

@@elijahbill9148 Yes.I have already watched that video.Actually I understood EQ only from that video too lol. I really wish this guy comes back.

On the list!

Can't wait! :)

Electronic Producer Yes. please make a tutorial about Mixing & Mastering. :))

pleaseeeeeee

TUTORIAL OUT ALREADY GUYS !

thank you for being honest.

Brothe can I use compress only for clap or kick

Truly simple

See that's was the same thing I passed through till I saw this tutorial.

I have seen hours of videos on compression. This 10 min video utterly cuts thru all the trash on youtube. I hope hes ok whoever made this.

Turn your caps lock off :)

There is much to learn, but a lot of it is also dependent on what you're trying to do including what style/genre, and which techniques are beneficial to those styles. However, I plan to cover a lot of stuff in upcoming tutorials that should cover the fundamental basis of music production, as well as dive into some style/genre-specific stuff that I've learned over the years. If you have any specific questions or tutorials you'd like to see, let me know :)

Absolutely not

@@tortture3519 well, it seems the original commenter is saying it in a positive way?

johny depth

The difference is indeed subtle. I also purposefully wanted to demonstrate the practice of not overcompressing. Try to listen to the part immediately following the initial transient (or "attack") and notice it being a bit louder. Listening to it by itself is subtle, but the compressed clap would have an easier time punching through the mix, because the middle chunk comes through at a higher level. All of this is happening in milliseconds, of course, but this same concept could be applied to a longer sound or collection of sounds to see a more noticeable effect if it's hard for you to hear in this example.

@@electronicproducer4603 yeah, I had been wondering about the same - how only a very slight difference was heard. Thanks for verifying/clarifying it!

I'm right here :)

@@electronicproducer4603 ^_^

@Redi Hida You're telling about me or Electronic Producer? I believe you're referring to Electronic Producer.

That's entirely up to you. Your ears are the determining factor. People compress stuff to improve loudness within the context of a mix. If you think it needs it, then try it out.

It means for every x dB that exceeds the threshold value, u are left with 1dB. With a ratio of 4:1, what used to be 4dB above threshold now will be 1dB. Conversely, with a 1:1 ratio will be no compression. Ratio just controls the severity of compression. Limiters are compressors with a ratio of at least 20:1, creating a harsh cut almost like a ceiling at the threshold, hence their name..

@@thecoltsamuel8010 thank you so much for the explanation . I was struggling with this ratio concept.

i have the same question

There are no rules about that, it is your decision. My rule of thumb is, do not compress for the sake of it. Think about what it is you are trying to achieve, and how compression could help you achieve that. Let's say you have a lead kind of sound, with some delay and a reverb tail. You could use compression to 'tune' the overall sound of it in the mix. Chances are the reverb and delay can get burried in the entire mix, as they are just not as loud as the rest (like the clap tail in this vid). To make the whole thing more audible you can compress the lead with a somewhat fast attack, turning it down a little. Bringing the whole thing back up with make up gain. Chances are the lead and it's FX will sit better in the overall mix. And for me, that would be a good reason to be compressing it. But i would certainly not compress everything. Some dynamic range is what makes things interesting to listen to in the first place. It more or less depends on the signal and how you want it to play nice with the rest. Vocals for example really benefit from compression, as their dynamic range is usually quite large. A kick from a sample pack for example? If it sounds good, packs a punch, why go further than EQing it? Ofcourse if you can make it sound a little bit tighter with compression, do that. No rules really.

You can compress anything if you like but I personally use comoression to get rid of some unnecesary spikes and to kinda glue some stuff togheter(percussions etc.)

Mitja Miklič isn’t the limiter for getting rid of some spikes? D:

Not recomended

@@srmgrd7782 really y??

808s

k beats lol true

I

Still tryna flick it away

omg yes right under the sample window lmao

Bruhhh

It means that he is reducing the loudness by a factor of 2... I.E. if the orginal sound was 4 db, its reducing what you hear by 2 db. As the ratio increases, the more distorted the sound becomes.

@@Izzythedestryr so with that example that he went through, he actually decreased the dynamic range. isnt the idea of music to increase the dynamic range? wouldnt that sound better as its got 'more range'?

@@jasonbarallon5369 But the purpose of compression is to decrease the range. Decreasing it makes it seem a lot more whole and it would pack a better punch. I think what you mean is music as a whole, of course the bigger the range, the better, but for samples, it would be better to compress it, especially vocals

For genres like classical music or acoustic instruments, a wide range between quiet and loud is generally favoured, but for pop, rock, and EDM, the listener usually wants the whole thing to sound loud. Compression lowers the loudest peaks and then the quietest parts are boosted such that the whole thing is right in your face. "Dynamic range" refers to how much the volume changes during a song. Modern tastes are for not much change at all. We want it loud all the way through.

Try to train your ears, you can hear the difference on a mobile phone speaker, but hearing small differences in compression and EQ comes with time:) There are some online pages that have "exercises" for your ears

It's louder compressed

@@NickyTesla It is not louder, its just compressed, check the level meters for loudness. Signal should be the same level before and after compression

@@mitjamiklic from my shitty phone speakers it sounds a little louder lol

You should definitely have some studio headphones if you're gonna be mixing tho. I believe there are some Sony's that are pretty popular on a budget, under $100. I went with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros, because I saw a lot of good reviews here on YT. I gotta say, the clarity is kind of insane. I noticed a pretty significant difference between before and after compression in this video.

Yes, I'm concerned for him... is he okay? I like the way he teaches..and his voice..
