I remember messing up my mix using compression multiple times in Audacity a few years ago without actually knowing what compression did. As always thanks again for another detailed tutorial...:)

On perfect time, was searching for compression for audiobook/ voice over ( I messed up my previous recordings; extreme obs plugins settings; well that sounded well before recording but after whole 2 hour of recording when I imported that in audacity; now I m here 😆and before going further for a fresh start I wanted to search about all the jargons/ terms of voice over recording or the plugins). so after watching your video my conclusion - yeah the culprits were attack and release and ratio. these tiny words and settings made me sit few more hours in front of the screen, tiny monsters. but now - it is going to be a different story for them 😁

Never have had a decent handle on compression, this helped a bit. Don't know what hard limit is for, though.

@MikeRussell 3 ай бұрын

I'm glad this video helped you with compression! Hard limit is a powerful tool that ensures your audio never exceeds a certain level, preventing distortion and clipping in your final mix.

Excellent tutorial. I am actually looking for how to cure audio that is already over-compressed. It might be useful for improving much of the AI TTS and music which can sound over-compressed at times - how can we fix that?

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for your feedback! To fix over-compressed audio, try using a multiband compressor to target specific frequency ranges and applying gentle gain reduction to restore dynamics, followed by subtle EQ adjustments to brighten the overall sound and reduce any harsh artifacts introduced by the compression.

Great tutorial. You should watch it with subtitles, it thinks your sample audio is saying different names every time it repeats. 😄

Thank you for the feedback! I'll make sure to double-check the subtitles for accuracy in future videos.

Great video .How can I translate these steps to the GoXLR (full size) software with an SM7B?

@MikeRussell 10 ай бұрын

The specific steps may vary depending on the version of firmware running on your GoXLR unit and any additional plugins or presets available. It might also require some trial and error to find the optimal settings for your particular setup. Once you know basics compressors are pretty universal.

I write a song into the mix using EQ, in which I lower the frequencies in the work of vocal clarity so that the music in the background does not break out and sounds audible and does not disturb the voice. The last time I did this was at DaVinci

@MikeRussell 10 ай бұрын

That's a fantastic technique using EQ to carve out space for vocals! Have you considered incorporating compression after EQ?

@movie-trailer19 10 ай бұрын

@@MikeRussell This is not necessary. I cut out the frequencies for the vocals and balance the volume levels according to LUFS. For the sauce, I increase the Saturation width to the maximum, allowing the background to sound wider, but not break out from under the vocals.

Can you explain what this whole manus mean? AutoGate, Compressor, Expander and Limiter and when you need them ALL together? I've seen here and there a tutorial about only of of them each time. I don't really know what they do or their meaning. Just playing with them.

@MikeRussell 7 ай бұрын

Absolutely! AutoGate, Compressor, Expander, and Limiter all do different things to reduce background noise, keep audio levels equal, duck audio and stop audio getting too loud. Hope those brief descriptions help!

How about a tube model, would that help if set properly?

Absolutely, incorporating a tube model can add warmth and richness to your audio when set up correctly.

I've over compressed an audio book chapter - and the file is saved. I put too much make up gain. Is there a trick to lowering the compression after it's compressed? Because it's audiobook it has to be at certain levels, so if I drop DB's it doesn't pass standards. Or do i need to go to the raw and do it all over again?

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

You can try using parallel compression to blend the compressed audio with the dry signal, or use multiband compression to target specific frequency ranges and adjust the overall balance without starting from scratch with the raw file.
