Every morning, I can't wait to get up to go compress something. Thanks for the motivation.

So glad I found this masterclass vid. for the past 3 years I'd been compressing at 1:1 with no results. Now I understand.

One year later and I still revisit this tutorial. My first comment remains the same. Best tutorial I’ve come across

I came here for a tutorial on C2 and not only did I get that, but a deep tutorial on every aspect of every single compressor plugin I will ever own. Thank you so much for this!

You managed to talk about the compressor without actually using it for 45 minutes and made it super interesting. It's impressive to say the least. Usually I can't get through tutorials that easily because most are boring, this one is full of info, which is rare in KZfaq tutorials. It's a great tutorial about compression generally not just about Pro C2. Great work!

Wow. Fabfilter has Dan Worrall who is great at explaining and marketing their plugins, so I was skeptical to see if an outside party could beat that.. but this honestly turned out to be the best tutorial on compression I have ever seen.

I’ve been learning production on KZfaq the last 2 years and I hate to say it took 2 years to find these guys. 100% professional and accurate tutorials. Wish I found you guys earlier. Or maybe if I was green I wouldn’t have appreciated your videos so much. Thank you guys!

This is still the best compression video on KZfaq. Props brother. Last time I watched this, I walked out with a clear understanding of what was what. 3 years later...all I wanna do is compress stuff 😂✊🤟😖🤟

Wow, you killed this one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

One of the most comprehensive and clear explanations on compressors. Thanks a lot!

I just got the C2 and this tutorial just told me everything I wanted to know. Thanks !!!

My first video for Pro C2 and as it looks my last. I've never seen such a detailed tutorial. Thank you!

This IS a tutorial,damn it ;) from all the ones i've been looking, you really want the viewer to understand in a very practical way and it seems common sense but this is what almost every tubers lack off : a true desire to teach. Thanks, really appreciate your work.

This is one of the best tutorials for compressor in general. Learned a lot of stuff. Thank you so much. Can't believe I'm 4 years late. Thank you so much for this. This masterclass is priceless.

I absolutely adore you for doing this. This is exactly what I needed, indepth and eloquent.

This is by far the best and informative tutorial with compression on the web! Thank You so very much for making it easy to start understanding this topic finally!

Having watched countless tutorials on compression, this one is by far the best. Thank you!

The only, best, useful and outstanding tutorial on compression ever made. C2 rocks, and you too! Thanks

soon as payday hits i will be buying one of your courses, your are the man!

This is only the second video of yours I've watched and I subscribed and hit the bell. You're a very clear and concise teacher. You speak to all levels of ability at once; very simply put lessons with serious depth. Thank you.

One of the best explanations I’ve ever heard. Thank you.

The best compression tutorial ever. It has helped me solo much!!

Hands down tNice tutorials is one of the best tutorials I've seen on any subject, ever! Clear, concise and incredibly informative and easy to follow.

This has demystified compression for me completely and like you say leaves me excited to get going with compression rather than hesitant. Thanks so much for sharing!

Best video out even a yr later about compression and fabfilter Thank you so much!

I just wanna say thank you so much for posting this. It s the most useful and clear video about compression I ever seen. Subscribed!

oh man Thank you a lot! I have never seen such dedication in teaching on KZfaq. Thanks for being real and with such enthusiasm.

It finally happened guys! I woke up with a strong urge to compress things!

you are by far and away the best teacher of music production I've come across on the net, and I've only watched 2 of your videos. after I've had a little bit of messing around, I'm considering even more to enrol in your production classes..now gonna go check your website

This class helped me understand the unknowns of side chaining and helping elevate my confidence while compressing. Thank you.

i see comments on basically every tutorial ever saying how its the best one and how the person did such an amazing job and im like "ok..." but finally i have found the dude who i think those words apply to

I've learned a lot about audio over the years and when you're talking about oversampling your explanation of why digital distortion sounds so bad compared to analog distortion is the best I've ever heard

You must be one of the most instructive teacher iv listened to. Every word you say is so comprehensible! I mix very multilayered Uplifting Trance music & i was thinking, if the 2nd thing after the Synth i always put in into the signal chain is a Compressor, then maby i need to check out alternatives to Ableton´s own compressor... If you wanna make something right, you often have to get to the very Core of the issue right? Thank You! :)

Best tutorial about compression overall!

This was so insightful and at times funny, a pleasure to sit through. I'm short of 15 years in audio production and just now starting to notice some less obvious but I would argue, more important things in mixing and in nature of sound. It feels like learning a new language in a short period of time. Engineers and producers, don't get lazy and put your optimum self into your work, don't be on autopilot, always strive for more knowledge.

Well worded tutorial. Even being pretty familiar with most of these concepts, the way you explained it helped me wrap my head around it even more. Thank you!

Really great tutorial! Probably the best I've seen on compression, especially Pro C2. I learned a lot, thanks!!

When I first saw this video in my feed, I thought "Do I really need an hour-long video on compression?" I didn't think so - but watched it anyway. I'm SO glad I did. This is one of the best videos on compression I've seen. So much useful information - presented in a easy-to-understand way. Thank you. Subscribed.

Thank You. The best explanation and overview i've seen yet.

Thank you so much for the quality of this video and for taking the time for essential things! Sometimes we think we know how to use it and actually we are not doing our best. Specially when you’re an intuitive person. It’s good to remember the theory. And what a beautiful presentation of this amazing plugin I’m about to buy! Thank you 🙏🏼

This is the best tutorial ever, never seen anyone go in such detail! thank you!

This guy knows what he's talking about. Thanks for the knowledge.

First time I have ever heard and seen a really great explanation of compression!

Best Compression and Video! Fantastic

I get confused when it comes to Compressors but you have explained in simple detail..thank you

That is a very informative and insightful video, Thank you for putting the time and effort in making it. You deserve the biggest cookie in the universe. Thank you!!!

Thank you….so inspiring. Something to be very proud of how you truly show what’s what and what’s needed. I’m very grateful……. Not many people like you around to teach so well. Bravo

In the 20 years that I've been making music, I've never really understood when to use what type of compression, until NOW! I can't wait to get my hands dirty with Pro-C2.

Great tutorial I will watch as many of Your Tutorial as I can. I have learn a lot about compression in this video I really loved it.

You are pure genius. Thank u for helping me love compression.

Best ever so far.

this was incredibly helpful. i cant believe this information is freely available. thank you!

one of the best instruction videos I have seen. Thanks

Thanks a lot for this. Definitely know what you're talking about, respect 🤙🏻

Thats amazing dude Thanks so much ! Its very rare that people who do tutorials can explain well. U did it !

this kind of teaching really levels up every student to v2.0 ! very good !

I'm glad I found your videos. Really good stuff, thanks.

Crazy...! Absolutly Awsome explantations

Wow... so much details! Thank you this is just amazing! Im subscribed

The father of all 'compressor' videos. Now this is a how-to manual in explaining things. You dude fuckin' killed! Thanks \m/(-.-)\m/

Wow, thank you so much. Absolutely fantastic.

Thanks for this, it's very well explained, very clear and informative! I guess that being a teacher myself makes me fragile about how some people describe compression in general!

Wonderful tutorial! Very straight up.

25:00 WOW you make really great points! Thanks

Awesome Prо-C2 Masterclass! Thanks !

This is awesome man! I learned so much from this video, just started out producing :-)

keep them coming ! great video.....

Excellent tutorial, thanks✌️

Great stuff. Thank for the thorough explanation.

Single best tutorial on compression period!

wow, your videos are very detailed compared to some courses on youtube. Extremely helpful!

wow so much information here !! thank you amazing tutorial

Thanks a lot for this great explanation,

Never did I think we would be talking about knees in music.Now I'm going to think of my body as a compressor.I can attack people,I can release body fluid and I can knee all my haters.Thanks for this awesome video!

you ,sir, are a good teacher

Amazing knowledge! Thanks a lot for this

Awesome lesson, thanks!

thanks mate this is golden

thank you straight to the point

Excellent run-through of one of the great compressors. I think Pro-C gets less credit than it's due because the interface doesn't look like a 3 rack monster. Interestingly. when I analysed the styles, "Clean" actually introduced more harmonics than any other setting. The Vocal setting. 39:23, is really intriguing as well. I don't know what they did with the math, but it has a surprisingly useful and characteristic sound. Explore your FabFilter plugins, folks! I'd been using the de-breather in Nectar 2 for years because it was the only plugin I could trust to de-breath long-form narration without problems. Little did I know, the Vocal setting in Pro-G is probably the smartest de-breather ever made. I just didn't know it. Each FabFilter plug needs at least 3 hours of video to unveil the hidden gems.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS !

Hands down the best explanation of compression I have ever heard, well fucking done Daniel! WOW!

I like the visual representation of what is going on with fabfilter Pro C2.

good work king, love you

Fantastic tutorial. 🙏

At 1:01:17 you hear the difference between the compressed and the uncompressed kick sound. The compressed signal seems to sound "better" - (like there's "put some energy in the sound" but i guess it's just because it is louder. The channel meter shows that the peak level is much higher when the compressor is on. The auto gain - button seems not to work properly in this case. Correct me if it's wrong, but i suggest you can't evaluate the influence of the compression itself on the sound, because you hear just the increase of the signal level. And we know that the louder signal allways sound better. ... or have i missed something? Can anyone help me?

Brilliant. Thank you

Thanks! Very informative

Thank You. Great Video.

Will stay tuned to your channal! Cheers!

Hi Daniel. This is a superb tutorial! A big thank you. I'm watching it the fourth time. One small thing is unclear. You say, "Once the threshold is exceeded, then the attack time is the amount of time it takes for the gain reduction to start to kick in." There are engineers who say that compression kicks in as soon as the threshold is crossed, and the attack time is the time it takes for the gain reduction to reach its full power. All the best!

This is the best class I’ve had on compression hands down. Makes we want to get rid of all my other compressors and focus on this for now

Wow! Just wow.

Man you are a good human ❤🙏😊

Thanks, very cool and well explained!

I checked - everything is clean

Thank you Sir!

I using this on every track. it allows much more prescence and body to instruments as well as controlling.

thanks so much this is great

It's just awesome
