I would love to see a feature in Studio One that is similar to Pro Tools HD, allowing me to visually see the applied compression on mixing tracks as a compressed orange sub-signal indicator. This animated and moving peak line meter should also indicate the amount of compression applied in real time, providing valuable information (giving more clue)to engineers and producers. Additionally, it would be great to have the compressed signal displayed on the waveform in real time, with visible changes that can be toggled on or off to save CPU and RAM usage. Some modern plugins already offer this feature, and now it's time for Presonus to implement it.That should be a must!

I've been mixing for years but videos like these really solidify my knowledge about mixing/mastering and sometimes they even learn me new things I haven't seen yet, thanks!!

I have finally found the video that makes compression click for me. Wow. Thank you so much, Gregor! What a great video.

Finally!! Someone that expained compression properly and make it understandable! I love your videos!

Wow! Great explanation. First time I’ve ever understood compression.

🤣🤣 There’s probably a couple of people who will say “Ahhh this is so much better already” 🤣🤣 That’s my favorite part in this video 😄😄 Compressors are really confusing…..😀 Thanks for this video… 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Great job, Gregor! This is a great explanation that I'll be pointing folks to in the future rather than trying to explain these related topics myself.

Omg, thank you! This was great!

I just recently switched to Studio One. The stock tools are fantastic. I mean the FAT CHANNEL 😎🤘😎

One of the most video i was Waiting

Compressors were somewhat mysterious to me until I found this video. Makes so much sense now. Thanks Gregor.

fabulous yet simple explanation of compression. The waveform comparison helps us visual learners. This explains why the drums on a recent mix of mine were so wonky (a Joe-ism lol). TH=20, Ratio=8:1, Attack=4ms, release=250ms. The recipe for disaster. The critiques from my VIP class were spot on, and YOU told me what I did wrong in < 300 seconds. Thanks Gregor.

Gregor... you are the man!! Big ups.

Now its time for dolby atmos support .. looking forward for the update

I knew all this already, but this was still a very good explanation of what a compressor does (the ratio etc).

Great explanation! Thank you

Thank you Gregor. 🙂👍

Dude thank you so much for this!!

Great breakdown of the board and system! Trying to get the project / scene saving. It’s too bad they couldn’t get the DAW down to use it with ProTools. It always has connection issues. Some other groups I work with have PT and it would be nice to have the board work with it. But I have Studio 5 pro so it works great. Thanks for the review

Nicely done, Gregor :)

Studio One is really a very cool DAW, but if they made Real Time visualization of the compression, it would be very cool! For example, in order not to load the project, we select a track, click on Edit, and when we turn the compression parameters, we see exactly what it does, if you implement it, it will be very useful for people who are just starting out or who do not have a prepared room! Thank you very much !;)

Excellent! Really clear explanation.

10:15 Metallica's Death Magnetic jokes are never too old

One of the most important mixing tools and I hear no difference using one. Ill watch this and see... I understand it but the difference seems more akin to do you like strawberry or butterscotch ice cream. Or do you prefer blue or yellow.

I love the one wild chin hair 😅

Thanks!

Please pay your attention! We all really need a soft takeover! Please add this feature, it opens up a lot of possibilities!

jai ho Gregor. Thank You.

Nicely explained.

I was hunting how to tame sub frequencies. The filter in the compressor seems to be quite useful for that.

Hold up.. perfectly explained, thank you.. 💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

5:57 😄

Excellent and clear explanation, Gregor! Thank you! PS. What microphone are you use in these videos? Sounds so clear and clean despite the distance over the desk and you. Thanks!

Hello friend, how can I adjust the yellow indicator that goes up and down on the meter using 3rd party compressor plugins? Studio one appears in its own compressor, but not in ff pro c 2, for example. can you please help?

I know that the attack time starts counting when the threshold level is surpassed. But when does the release time start counting? there are theoretically multiple possibilities. 1. both attack and release time start counting when the threshold level is surpassed attack |-----| release |-------------| 2. release time starts counting when the attack time has elapsed and the compressor starts working |----||-------------| 3. release time starts counting when the signal goes back below threshold |----||------------| Does anybody know?

A good place to start is also the presets.

i miss click on this video, but dont regret it, thx, great explaination

Wow

Hi Gregor! I was wondering how to make a macro to automatically move forward and back in History by a certain number of events on the list (more than one, bacuse that's Crtl+Z/Y doing). That would make comparing two sets of sounds /versions of processing so much easier. Now I do it manually with mouse but it's not very fast and comfortable. Thanks 😊

Please add the option to create midi, to be able to work with general midi, this is necessary for those of us who work creating sequences for pianos and the pianos can detect the sounds that we assign, it is the only thing that studio one needs, I am forced to work on cakewalk to be able to do that work and I really don't like it, please I ask you to add this function.

No option to auto color, to randomise track colors, no zoom on mixer tracks...

Thanks and what is that on the table behind you 👊🏿

who will help me to mix my music ?

So do I compress the entire kit or each drum Separately?

Mistake!! Sorry, but the attack DOESN'T WORK as Gregor explained! The compresor does not wait for the attack time to pass when the signal is above the threshold! Gain reduction starts to apply immediately, the attack time only determines HOW FAST it will grow. The release works the opposite way. When the signal drops below the threshold, the gain reduction start to go away immediately, the process goes faster or slower dependiing on the set release time. So the attack/release time really determine THE SPEED, not the time interval to wait. That's the correct interpretation

TV COMMERCIALS ! 😡 We all hate them. - you watch a great movie, with your desired and set loudness and then the ads kick in and blows your ears off! And Yes :- they are allowed to do so in Germany. It has something to do with ( I think): "ads can be as loud as the loudest sound that occurs in the movie" If there ever will come a TV with an inbuild adjustable compressor I would buy it. Sry for offtopic.
