Thank you for these helpful videos!

[@riyintocco]

Thank you for this quick and informative tutorial! To answer your closing question; yes, this info absolutely helps curb some of the initial intimidation. It’s super easy to get lost in the weeds of Logic, can’t wait to start tracking some vocals!

Ugh thank you SOOOO much for these videos!! I love how you explain things from literal zero. So many videos seem to assume you know what things do or are for, or even the definition of words like compression. By explaining so clearly and thoroughly I feel so much more confident going in and creating music. Thank you so much!!

[@neilbonavita8623]

Your videos are so helpful. I love the way you explained this. Thank you Colin

[@williamperkins2160]

Dude best explanation of compression I’ve seen on KZbin. Great demos too. For the first time I was able;r to really hear what compression was doing. Excellent

[@DanMia-cd1bm]

Hi Colin, just in case you haven't an idea of just how helpful you are, you've literally given me hope to succeed when I at one time felt hopelessly with no where to turn..thanks..heartfelt, Dan Mia

[@homestudioacademy]

One of the best compression tutorials I’ve seen! Awesome content 👍

[@jzitt]

Thank you! I'd never used Compression before (and have only been using Logic Pro for a few weeks) and your clear explanation and settings worked beautifully.

[@tommylarsson2025]

Hi Boss! Just want to give you an acknowledge for all the work and effort you put in to make mixing easier for other people. You are pretty unique in that way. I do hope you get some ”beans back” also because you help a lot of people and for that you deserve a lot of acknowledges. All the best! 🙂

[@vallo1287]

Super simple to understand and highly logical approach. Will try it on my stuff and see how I get on 👏👏

[@TheBandGuide]

Nice! Glad it was helpful :)

[@tomaltermusic]

Excellent episode. This really helps me understand your options in Logic. And I love what I’m hearing in the second tune!

[@davidpruyne]

Thank you! This is a very clear and concise video on compression. It helps. Give me a better understanding and I will try these on my projects. Excellent teaching thank you so much!

[@TheBandGuide]

Hey you're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@user-qy9bv1iq1h]

Very practical, easy to understand and to the point. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks!

[@TheBandGuide]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TommyLellan]

Excellent job at explaining it, Ted Lasso. :)

[@rationalhuman5338]

Thank you so much brother. Appreciate it.

[@raimolaine]

Useful as always, Thanks a lot, Colin.

[@optpr1119]

thanks

[@musicproduction112]

This is Good

[@UlfKronman]

I think this is about the most instructional video on compression I have seen (... and I've seen a lot). With your demonstration I can both see and *hear* (for the first time) what the compression is doing to the voice track. Was it really that easy?

[@tharmjr]

Absolutely made compression seem less intimidating

Thnx C. Nice to get comparisons on settings between get and opto and genres….. I’ve tended to avoid makeup gain altogether and relied on the metered output gain to take away the ear guesswork on db. Possibly bad form?Apparently you do need to use the makeup gain option if you are varying the mix or parallel compression

[@georgiabarrow2374]

Hi! I am absolutely brand new at all of this and really need one on one coaching from someone. I love your style and the way you are explaining things. I dont know whether you would consider assisting in that way or not? Thanks!

[@TheBandGuide]

Hey Georgia! Shoot me an email at bandguy@thebandguide and we can discuss options. My time is super limited right now (I'm a full time stay-at-home dad), but I'd love to find a way to help

[@guitarplayer5932]

colt capperune and other engineers shocked me when they said they compress vocals up to -40db with multiple compressors

[@HappyArtProductions]

Nobody explains this well. Everyone explains it like we’re supposed to know what you’re talking about already. For example, when im turning the treshold, what am i looking for? What number doing have to keep it under? How do i determine that? What is that based on? If i listen to the raw vocals, based on the levels, what an i looking to turn down or turn up? This makes absolutely no sense

[@TheBandGuide]

Hey man- I think the first 4ish minutes of this video is exactly what you're looking for (at least in terms of understanding all the parts of a compressor and how/why to set things): kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3PCpomarsuoldU

[@johnvender]

As you said because the quiet sections get very little if not zero compression resulting in the make up gain increasing their level to the ear this can make the track sound louder than it actually is for a given make up gain. I tend to put a meter set to peak ahead and after the compressor and adjust make up gain so they match to get true unity gain. Am I being too obsessive? When you mentioned using two compressors one after the other I thought of Analog Obsession's brilliant Comper which can do this well in one free plugin.

[@TheBandGuide]

I'll have to checkout Comper! I hadn't heard of that one. Personally I don't think there's need to be that precise since there are some moments that will differ more on the front end of the compressor than on the output. For these type of adjustments, I prefer to rely more on my ears and focus on how it sounds

[@bobbiebowers]

Hi great vid again, would you process these vocals with the compressor as an insert or from a bus ?

[@TheBandGuide]

On my lead vocal I always compress directly on the channel. Occasionally I'll use bus compression for backing vocals if they are fairly uniform

[@namborusdoug]

Donde consigo esos compresores?

[@TheBandGuide]

They are the stock Logic compressors
