Never thought of a compressor this way, that's very useful, thanks!

can you give me an example?

@@FlorentChardevel Here's a vid you may enjoy that elaborates on the point made:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9OagMRkqdSVcqM.html

@@Cymanytb have a drum loop playing, put a compressor on it default settings will be 0 threshold 1/0 compression and different attack and release times depending on the plugin, they dont even matter at this point since there is not compression happening yet, bring the threshhold to 25 30 db and bring the compression to the most agrresive setting 30/1 lets say ( normally you wouldnt do someting like that unless you know what you are doing and using a technique that requires doing that, we do that to just the test how compression will effect the sound, we make it agressive so that we can hear it and understand it better) now you will hear some compression, you can play with threshold there to what it changes but after that put it on the 25-30 range again now play with the attack and relase setting bring attack to lowest, 0ms or 1ms, you will hear that transients are squashed and the loop now is a lot more pushed back in the mix now bring it to 300ms or 1000ms someting you will hear the opposite, it will be more in fron, it more snappy i am not getting into the relase setting because after that there will be combinations involved, low attack low relase low attack high release high attack low relase etc etc and i can explain all of them but be sure that it wont mean anything to you unless you do some testing yourself and force yourself to actually try to hear the differences those different settings make.

@@mehmetabdullah250 I see, it makes a lot of sense, thank you so much, I will get to testing! :)))

Wow! That’s an interesting idea! Thanks for sharing.

@@AudioUniversity I learned it from Chris Selim’s channel. Here is a video showing it, a little old, but very good. One should be gentle on that effect, otherwise it doesn’t sound good. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/peCjmLmAtKuleI0.html

That seems counterintuitive... I would probably apply that kind of technique to delays... But anyway, its worth checking out.

You could also automate the reverb for the vox to come down when you want to emphasize the vocals. Easier and won't change the quality of the verb.

Additional bonus side-effect (or main reason i do it) of that is it kind of softly 'ducks' the verb so you have audible verb without clarity loss. There's the opposite technique too, using an expander or gate quite famously use on Bowie's Heroes..but in digital DAW days i'd agree that automation is more powerful for big structure changes.

Thanks, Gary! I’m glad it was worth watching!

I love that concept too! Also the idea of bringing the listener into a virtual space!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks, MythSounD! I’m happy to hear this!

Glad to hear that, Jacob! Thanks!

Glad to hear that!

Is this the same Dave Gibson of the Gibson Miller Band?

Thanks, Dave! These are some great ideas you’ve shared too!

@@AudioUniversity Out of all the things I learned doing the Audio Engineering course, one thing that was in the exam has proven to be the most useful skill time and time again! How to coil a cable so that you can throw it across the room and have it lay out flat with no tangles! 😄 That has served me very well! 😁

Glad to help, nedomedo!

Thanks, Robert!

Wow! Thanks, Jeremy!

Not that I recommend people to watch mixing tutorials on a phone 😆

Thanks, Cale!

@@AudioUniversity Totally! these are helpful tools I send a lot of newer mixers to!

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

Glad to hear that, Fernando! Thanks!

Thanks for watching, Ryan!

Thanks, Johnny!

That's more like a full 'binaural' effect. Prob is it adds a lot of extra 'mud' frequency for full mixes as relies on spectral filters.. Haas does refer to a property of delay, in fact it actually refers to short delays and whether we perceive them as phase or dinstinct echoes, dependant on a minimum length for them to be audible. its just that this effect is more often used as a term when describing the phase producing delay (that is not heard as an echo) produced by the distance between ears giving distance positioning

Glad you liked it, Emanuel! Thanks.

I’m glad to help, Garuda! One step at a time! Thank you for watching.

I remember you, Arjun! Thanks for supporting the channel from the beginning!

@@AudioUniversity ay! Feeling happy you still remember me 🥺😁 btw i wanted to ask, i just bought new monitors presonus Eris 3.5 and I've already got Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, but i don't know how do I connect it, i dont have a TRS cable so please can you like suggest me what should I do like buy TRS cables or what? PS. I've seen your video but i didn't get it.

That’s right! You should use a TRS cable for each monitor from the Focusrite.

@@AudioUniversity hey! thanks man, just gonna order some TRS cables and will be getting started on my music production journey! you're one of the biggest helpers for me man, thanks a lot, really tysm!!! :)))))))))))))))))))))

Thanks, @Al One!

Your or this video was great too but I ment the Old 1980s video, that's the best overall "welcome" to sonic recording theory. You should link it somewhere

Great description, Bruce. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and letting me know you’re enjoying the videos, Eric! It means a lot to me.

@@AudioUniversity means alot to me to learn all this new tech from someone so versed who clearly knows the details..great job man.. impressive..just diving down the rabbit hole of recording at home so I'll have many questions...I'm sure I'll find it all in the videos and a wealth more

Glad to hear that, Michael! Thanks.

Thanks, @varosolo78!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Nicholas! I have another video that I think you will like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asyAiqlyq92tgYU.html

And don’t forget delay. A very good tool in place of or along with reverb.

Thanks, Ryan!

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching, @Emiel333 Official.

Thanks for the attention bro 🙌🏻✨

Thanks, @4Low!

Dude… that’s hilarious.

so you've never noticed that when you pan left it goes right, haven't you?

Thanks, Jay! If you’re setting up a stereo system, check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpZieM-avczce6M.html For stereo or surround setups, download the Speaker Placement Guide: audiouniversityonline.com/speaker-placement-guide/

That’s a great question. Video game audio is fascinating. I’m not sure how they did it but I would imagine they employed some of the techniques in this video.

also check out binaural panning. Its basically using all these techniques in conjunction with each other to simulate a 3D or surround image when using headphones (you can hear on good monitors too but headphones are the best for this). I know logic gives you that option straight in the pan section of the fader (not sure about other DAWs) but there are also plugins that will do this. All of it is just a combination of filtering, levels, panning, and a little phase but the specific algorithm is really interesting and can definitely give that effect. There are also binaural stereo microphones that you can use to capture the source
