fantastic tutorial this mate well done.. absolutely the best video I've seen on compression. Very well explained indeed! 👌

thank you sooo much for your great tutorial!! :)) finally opens my eyes on hard compression after more than 10 years doing it

straight to the point like you do is what we love you for. most of these online teachers will take 1 hour bragging and 10 mins teaching nothing. BRAVO john

This was really well done - thank you for publishing!

These are the most useful drum mixing videos I've watched... Thank you so much... Ready to watch the one about gates! Subscribed !!!

This is really impressive tutorial - please keep this great content coming

Awesome explanation and visual of the working effect

You, sir, are very good at your job.

all of this is so worth while thank you and carry on

Thank you very much, it sounds much better than before :)

La semana pasada tuve el gusto de probar esta mesa, y sonorizar un grupo, y os aseguro que es una pasada. Muy intuitiva, proceaadores efectivos, y muy buen sonido. Poseo una Yamaha digital y esta me sorprendió muy gratamente la verdad. No descarto pillarmela tanto para el estudio como para directo. Muy bien por Behringer y Midas que han conseguido un producto de calidad a un precio del que otras marcas podrían tomar ejemplo. Y conste que no trabajo en Behringer, jeje...

thanks a lot sir, i really learn from you

Great teacher!!! Thanks!

Good video, thank you very much!

Can you give an example on how you would mix a snare and bass drum that have only one mic on each? Excellent information by the way.

YOU ARE THE BEST, THANKS.

Great.. Lots of hearts

really helpful thanks a lot!

thanks Dude, but want to ask how you were able to link two separate input channel for the kick drum and the bass guitar....will be much appreciated

awesome content

Thank you Sir!

Anyone reading this comment and anyone that made it to 14:26 in the video. That sums all of this up perfectly. “This is a preference.” I don’t want to be that guy but my only source of income is repeatedly making bands sound good, and I am self taught, I didn’t pay for a bit of education. I started checking out videos again yesterday just cause it doesn’t matter how much you know. You will never know it all, if this was me I would have driven the gain on each mic a lot harder and you’d have a lot more to compress. And would maybe be more informative for people who need to hear a massive difference between compressor on and off. But then I don’t like over compressed drums. Going back to the point, everything is preference, everything is art, and unless you damage anything there is no wrong way to get to being beautiful. I wish you all well and good luck on your journeys. Maybe I’ll make a video of how I would do everything? Not to show off or disagree, just I think the point is making the world sound better. And if I can help share that then sign me up. Peace. x

For the bass drum do you use two mics for the in and out ?

You are the real deal

May just loosen the snare wires a little bit have the same effect as a compressor? ^^ Thanks a lot for the Video, i always like mostly natural stuff, greetz

Great Videos, in a easy to understand way. Thanks!

i'd love an equivalent for synthetic drums but still this was awesome

I only have 4 mics on my kit; kick, snare and 2 overheads. I also only have a 2 channel compressor. Should I insert the compressors on the kick and snare, or the overheads? I'm thinking the overheads so I can get better tail from the cymbals and toms.

Nice one Mr Hurley I hope you could train me one on one

What would you say about parallel compression when you are already compressing the drums this much?

What do you think about the mixer? Its theX32 right? Can you recommend it?

can anyone please tell me which mixer he's using?

Wouldn’t a slower release give you less “tail” since the tail of a transient is already soft, a slow release is continuing to compress an already softer part of a sound. Whereas a faster release would stop compressing sooner, and once make-up gain is added the “tail” is now louder giving you more sustain.

How do you insert the tracks into the X32?

i want my drum to be sound as sweet as possible tell me wat to do

which mixer are you using in the video

What is you only have Old School equipment. Like I have an EV BK 8 board (I use just for drums) Into an EV BK 12 Board. Would I have to buy 8 different EQ's for each Drum or How do I do a Whole set of Drums with one EQ and Still get the Awesome Bass Kick punch. I know now that I will need to get a compressor but also how would I use it to do the whole set. I am not talking about a studio mix I want to do this for a live mix lets say in a local bar or at a Small Club

what kind of daw would that. im trying to find a visual compressor like you are using here

Drum EQ tips?

HELLO MY NAME IS RICHARD AMPAH I WANT TO KNOW HoW TO MIX beAT pls

Snare bleed killed it for me.

cool. helpful

Man, you shouldn't talk over the transitions. Your voice is louder than the music. It's hard to hear the differences between w/comp - w/o comp. Otherwise is one of the most professional tutorial on youtube! Good job!

Let's get rid of the hold.

Cue ball does drums!

יהוה on your hand?

Is the kick in the kick mic, and the kick out the sub kick?

Yeah dude! now i can work on Superior drummer lot better dude.. thanks !

The tracks are much too quiet.

ppl , if you are here watching this video and relating it with studio mixing , you are in the wrong direction. This is more for live situations. Read the description. That explains why a little bit overboard on snare compression since in a live environment is not a consistent transient response specially from the snare.

You intro music is made up of Reason stock samples 😂. Been years since I heard those bad boys.

I don't get why you mix on unity and build around it with your gain.. normally you try to get an even level on the input gain and adjust the mix with the faders.

Its a master class...but your explaining the absolute basics...

what ever you do, do not assume that every compressor setting is going to be this low. on the threshold.

EVERYBODY arguing about slower release theory......Why are you here if you are the expert?

It's pumping way too much

Why is it these engineers don't understand that a longer release time is actually choking out the sustain on their drums. So dumb.

You need to back down your voice over or gain on your tracks.

Yo great video! Hail Trump!
