Compression basics with Ableton Live's stock Compressor

[@hectorrivas9441]

Best explanation of compression ever!

[@pizamogaming3538]

I agree

[@onemei7222]

This was the most understandable video on compression I’ve found, thanks for offering such a clear and concise explanation! You’re a natural teacher!

[@jamesgulland]

This massively helped me on some vocals recently, thanks Fanu!

[@pizamogaming3538]

Im currently studying in an audio training school and personally the way how you explained it was more easier & simple to understand compared from my teacher thank you so much it's more clearer to me now

[@idanhalpern1609]

The best compression tutorial on KZbin.

[@1Surinamer]

Just started with Ableton, fun, I needed this, very good (visual) explanation sir, now I understand what compression really does. Now for the rest. Thanks.

[@jamesmarkgotch]

Merci

[@yan2410]

Thank's man

[@danny.belanger]

Is there a way to do the opposite? Gain volume for the parts that are low? I don't want to compress.

[@fanusamurai]

That’s what the end result of compression is. Compression isn’t a hurtful thing to your signal if you do it right.

[@phonybologna1697]

What it is nic!!

[@IORust]

nice

[@miggable4302]

can I get the recording

[@patony_1288]

Is compression like autotune, and how do you know ,when you pick a certain part of an audio to compress, how do you know when it is at the same level as the rest of vocals, another thing is what if the other parts (vocals ) were sing too low how do you bring them up to the same level as the rest?

[@fanusamurai]

Compression has nothing to do with tuning: basically it aims at evening out the level of the signal. How you know the level is right: basically you listen. Also, if you freeze a compressed track, you should see, when comparing to the original, that the level is more even after compression. When some parts have been sung too low and some too loud - that's exactly when compression can be used to help even out the signal levels.

[@patony_1288]

Thank you, My ears is not very good at hearing the difference, I tried compressing before and it totally screwed the audio so bad I decided to give ut up.

[@fanusamurai]

@@patony_1288 it has to be done right; it can of course be too intense, so it'll hurt the signal, or too subtle. I give tuition and consultation on mixing as part of my living (i mix and master for my living), so should you ever need it, just get in touch.

[@patony_1288]

@@fanusamurai I would like some lessons But I live in New York.

[@fanusamurai]

@@patony_1288 Probably 70% of my clients are in the USA. I do sessions over Zoom every single week. To get in touch and schedule things, please email me at [e-mail] and I'll reply there.

[@pj199512]

why turn off make up gain

[@fanusamurai]

When you want to on/off the compressor to hear what it’s doing to the levels, having it off lets you hear it properly.

[@skrillex1863]

make your videos less long !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fanusamurai]

I absolutely don't try and adhere to the ADHD generation with constant quick, short videos with a lot of funny stuff, quick flashy editing - at all. And some things take time to explain. Try to teach compression in 60 seconds so that someone can walk away from it and say they understand it and can now use it - that can't be done. I rather take my time and explain things in depth they need. This video, out of all videos I've ever done, is the one that's received the most amount of comments and thanks, and ppl have said they learned to do compression - prob due to the time I took to explain it. So yeah, won't be making short videos for the sake of shortness; I'm sure you'll find tons of them elsewhere.

[@skrillex1863]

I appreciate your straight foward honesty you sound very inteligent just ignore man im a hater
