How to Use Compression | Logic Pro X Compressor Tutorial
Рет қаралды 81,777
Күн бұрынWhats up guys!? In this video we're going to be talking about compression, specifically using the stock Logic Pro X Compressor. I'm going to go over the main controls and parameters of the Platinum Digital compressor, how compression works, and also how to apply those principles to a drum loop that I've made to give you a visual representation of how compression works. The stock compressor in Logic Pro X is an excellent plugin, and I highly recommend learning how to use it effectively. Enjoy!
Here's the link to the Apple webpage explaining some more details about the different types of compressors: support.apple.com/en-ca/guide...

This was very helpful thanks man! I have a question I looked at the apple website about the different compressors and I see that the VCA compressor is made for bass guitars. Well I did a subsonic bass using the vs2 I believe and the lower notes sounds good (shake my car lol) but I go a few notes above and you can barely hear these bass notes. Well I used the Platinum Digital and tested the bass again sounds good, now the higher notes actually shake my car, but it’s kinda distorted. Honestly I didn’t know how the compressor actually works when I did this but if the higher notes now are more present that means I did something bad or no? And would you recommend to try the VCA or just adjust the treshold, ratio and attack on the Platinum Digital and try it? I hope you understood what I’m trying to say, thank you bro!
@itstonyholiday 3 жыл бұрын
Hey man! The compressors that are built into Logic are based on real hardware compressors so they’re more or less a guideline. The best rule of thumb is, if it sounds good/the way you want. Go with that 👍 Thanks for watching, glad you found the video helpful 🙌

Hey Tony! I have a question about compression. When adding Compression to each piece of drums or instruments should we run the eq first and then compression? Then from their add what it needs to enhance the sound, you the sparkles to make the kick sound deep and punchy. Also should I gain stage first before adding EQ and Compression? Thanks Man! I really find your videos informative and engaging then any video on KZfaq really love the tutorials!
@itstonyholiday 4 жыл бұрын
Hey, great question! There’s no definitive answer to this other than you need to try all avenues of what you said. Putting plugins before and after each other in different ways will effect the tracks differently so it really is different every time. The best way to do this is to learn exactly the purpose of what everything does and know when to use it. As for gain staging, yes you need to gain stage it throughout each of the plugins signal flow, which is the “staging” portion of it. I generally EQ, Compress, and then add the extra stuff after that but again it really depends what you’re trying to achieve 👍 Hope that helps, thanks for watching and the great question
@EDGARFIEDTV 4 жыл бұрын
@@itstonyholiday Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated sir! Ill try that out! Yeah I would gain stage before adding EQ, Compression and I would notice that some would start to Clip and etc. Should I gain stage before and after adding the plugins?

Btw will their be future video where you check out viewers beats and give advice? that would be awesome!
@itstonyholiday 4 жыл бұрын
@EDGARFIEDTV No worries, it can be difficult to describe techniques over text. So for gain staging you basically want to make sure that you're not clipping at any stage of the signal flow. For example: 1. If you had a synth like Alchemy playing a chord progression, it comes out of the synth at -3, you're fine. 2. Next you EQ it. It starts to clip a little bit so you bring it back down below 0 using the gain knob in the EQ plugin. 3. You toss on a compressor and really smush it and add some makeup gain to give the sound you want. It's clipping again, so you turn the output gain in the compressor down to below zero. Effectively managing the clipping levels at every stage of the signal flow 👍 As for future videos I have definitely thought about doing a livestream where I critique peoples songs and stuff for sure! I have a couple of other things in the works first (like finishing this drum kit) but then I definitely want to!

Hey Tony, dumb question: my compressor only shows up as mono, how do I find stereo? Sorry, noob audio engineer here.
@itstonyholiday 2 жыл бұрын
Hey there! Likely the track that you put it on is mono. If you change that track to stereo you should see the plugin as an option in both. Thanks for watching!

Hi, I really don't understand how this compressor works! Can you explain it to me? So what does the treshhold stand for,? when for example its set to -20 , every decibel is cut out , or is it the ratio that reduces the loudness? and the make up gain basically just makes the track louder, right? haha I got probably everything wrong
@itstonyholiday 3 жыл бұрын
The threshold represents the volume level that the compressor will start to compress. The ratio is by how much it will compress.
@minamladenov2085 3 жыл бұрын
@@itstonyholiday and how is it calculated, the ratio? like 2 is the half and what is 3 the third, or are these the decibels that are cut out?
