Jesus... I've watched and intensively listened literally dozens and dozens of tutorial videos on compression. And seriously: this is THE ONLY ONE which makes it not only completely understandable to me, but also illustrates perfectly how to dial in compressions and WHY to do it that way. Much appreciated! 🥰

Finally found a channel where although I'm at an advanced level, I can still learn. Finally.

the droning synth sound behind ... genius! Best lesson yet, you've done in 7min what countless hrs from 'pros' have not come close to teaching.

Thought this was gonna be clickbait. But this turned out to be thee BEST video on compression I’ve ever seen, especially with the attack and release knob explanation. Good stuff!

This is the best way i've ever seen someone explain an audio tool. Big thank you from the bottom of my heart.

From now on, I will send the link to this video to anyone who asks me anything about compressors! 😀👍

This is the BEST video I've seen on YT about compression, and I’ve seen all kinds of videos from “PROs.” the fact that you used different plugins and hardware for the demonstration makes it even better! 🙌🏽 great job and well explained and easy to understand.

This is the best explanation I’ve seen on compression on KZfaq today. Wonderful

You are the man !!!!! I have awarded you the BEST understanding compression video on the entire internet !!!!!! 🏆

This is by far the best explanation Ive ever heard when it comes to compression.

Dude. As much as I understand compressors, your structured 5 steps is PURE GOLD ❤️🙌. Best explaination I've ever seen / heard. Cheers Bro.

This is the best video about compression I've ever watched. I've struggled for years because I couldn't hear compression. THANKS A TON!

Well done I would say, this is one of the best explanations about compression on KZfaq... Thank you

I just took notes from this video on a word document. I've recorded for decades. Lo-fi, no-fi, sounds pretty good but not great. I'm wanting to learn best practices now and this seven minute video really helped me understand compressors and my approach to them in a way dozens of other explanation videos could not. Thank you for the time you take to help your fellow music lovers learn what you know!

Would LOVE to see more videos from you if you can. Favorite plugins, analog gear reviews, Studio tour, etc!

What a fantastic video. I shared this with a budding sound engineer friend before I'd even finished watching. You're an intuitive and efficient communicator, and I'm stoked for the future of your channel!

You really explained this perfectly. I think largely due to your attitude towards the whole thing. There is a saying that goes something like "A true master can explain something complicated in the most simple of ways" rings true for this video.

One of the best music production videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching. And all done in just 7 mins. Thank you

I've watched a ton of mixing and mastering content. This is probably my favourite video I've seen about compression. Great work! 🔥

Whatttttttttt, I've been producing for more than 10 years and this is the best educational content available on internet !

OK in one single comment you have just solved all of my sub compression issues... because I am now using a limiter instead of a compressor and it is so much better. So thanks, I appreciate it.

I feel exactly like everyone else here ... Finally! I've always understand Compression in.theory, but never been able to translate that to my own compression efforts. The SSL theory is pure genius and makes total sense, they're preset values for a reason!! Well done and thank you ❤

From one receding hairline to another, thank you for this amazing video. I’m brand new to recording/mixing and this is very helpful.

You've got another sub! Love the technique of increasing the ratio to hear the full affect! I did this, then slightly adjusted my attack, although surprisingly it was already not too far off, so has given me confidence my ears are working correctly! I've also now started using the auto release function rather than adjust my own release, you're right! The auto release does the business! Now I trust it. Made my moves and dropped the ratio, now my mix is sounding top notch, with no more muddy pumping low end. Thank you. 🤟🏻

I just can't believe you did it again ah ah, I've watched so many videos all promising to explain just how compression works, yours is THE video that made everything finally click! You just have to make a lot more videos, you're unbelievably good at explaining/teaching, I wish your channel all the best! This is the first time I'm taking the time to comment on anyone's channel on KZfaq ;)

Ive watched probably 100s of compression videos... this is the best!

Standing ovation! Best compression video I have ever seen. You have the gift of being able to make complicated ideas simple to understand. It is often very difficult to make something easy (and very easy to make something difficult), so thank you for your hard work! My only complaint is that I needed this video about 20 years ago. Superb.

Absolutely amazing video, straight to the point !!

Attack and release are how fast the compressor takes to ‘get to full gain reduction, or return to no gain reduction.’ All compressors start compressing immediately. Attack and release are how fast it accomplishes it. It’s a distinction fee make but eliminates confusion once you understand it.

This is THE BEST explanation of compression I’ve ever heard on KZfaq. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I rarely subscribe to anyone and you earned my respect and trust with your videos. Video is straight forward, knowledgeable, easy to understand and no waste of time. You earned +1 sub😊

This video should get an Oscar. Really nice job of clearly explaining and visualizing your concepts!

One word: Excellent.

Excellent Video. Clear and concise. Thank you!

a decade of trying to grasp compression and this is the best explanation I've ever heard!! love it dude keep it up

No matter what, I never tire of watching videos about the ARRT of compression because constant reminders are helpful. I have a natural tendency to stop going through this perfectly sensible sequence and just "dialing it in" without spending the 20 or 30s it would take to do this properly. So, thanks for the reminder and I may well re-watch this video every few months. And 2/3 for tools. Pro C2 is my workhorse compressor, Unisum is my mastering compressor and .... well I've never got on with Ozone. But apparently 2 out of 3 ain't bad ;)

Awesome! Can't wait for more videos like this.

This was a great watch. Thanks!!

Thank you , i think vyou are only one in the entire universe that explained properly the correlation between treshold and ratio!

Awesome! Thank you for this one.

I'll just say what everyone else is saying -- I LOVE when someone can tell me something I don't know in a way that distills things enough for me to feel like I know it a bit, because they themselves know it well enough to comfortably abstract and teach it. The feeling of being empowered by new knowledge is infections and you've given me that great feeling. Subscribed!

Great video. One of the best I’ve watched on compression

Thanks a lot for this video! I love how there are hour-long courses on compression and you made me understand it in just 7 minutes. Great video!

Wow love this. Best video so far on compression

this is such a clear explanation. soooo good.

Great video! Explained it better than I could with great examples!

This is amazing. Thank you so much!

Exactly. A.R.R.T is a great way to hear what the sound of the compressor is. Find that I have to use way less compression to get the effect that i want.

This is great! Thanks for all this info!!!

Such a beautifully done video... thank you so much!

Super interesting and great presentation

Arguably the best short video on compression. Teaches you how to hear it in less than a minute. The only video I would recommend to anyone besides this one is Kush Audio YT channel on compression as it goes more in depth on texture. This video is awesome. Thank you.

Echoing others' comments about this being the best explanation of compression I've come across. Subscribed.

Simply the best, most succinct, and prosumer-friendly vid I’ve ever seen on compression. You nailed it, even with your personality. Likable, knowledgeable, straight business, to the point. Thanks much.
