[@andersbergman5942]

You have a great talent for making complex matters easy to understand! I`ve watched, and read, mind you!, a vast numbers of videos and articles about how compression works and sounds, and here you are explaining it in just over 13 minutes so even a 5 year old could understand! Thanks😀

[@mikescofield]

I've watched and read a lot about compression, but this is easily the best piece I have seen. Your visual approach clicked with me. This is very helpful. Thanks!

[@akiracolarte87]

OMG hahaha I was watching the video seriously, I have been studying production for days, very motivated and concentrated, following your 5-step guide, until Gandalf arrived and ordered it to stop :D you are definitely the best! I stopped the video to laugh a lot and then concentrate again

[@sophianila]

As always, an incredible explanation. You really are a gifted teacher, a natural!

[@Alec.F.T.qe7vz2ek3i]

fabulous! Gandalf in a Compressor tutorial????? you are a star !

[@MikeLance]

Hey Joe, more of these visual videos please. They are great teaching aids for my students. Being able to put it in simple terms with visual aids, like you do, is so helpful. Keep em coming

[@theulitegs475]

These type of illustrative videos are great. Easier to grasp those concepts. Great work man!

[@HomebrewHappyHour]

Another great video, Joe! Good stuff!

[@marktab251]

You are a gifted teacher! Thank you! LUCID

[@RickySweum]

I love the way you describe this stuff, thank you.

[@JoshuaKrell]

Freaking love your Gandalf drawing! I went to school for audio production and this is so much better of an explanation then any of my profs gave, especially for people just starting out! I have followed you since early days of home studio corner. In fact your first videos on Pro Tools way back when were so helpful to me years ago as a young home recording musician starting out! YOU ROCK MAN!!

[@ValKitsakis]

What an amazing lesson!! Thank you!!

I really like the graphs. No fancy computer graphics, just what you need. Thanks.

[@twoface2184]

This is awesome- I’m such a visual learner and I can’t believe you’re the only person who teaches this so well... I’m very tired of people saying “use your ears not your eyes” but i don’t how to learn especially as a beginner if I don’t know what I’m doing 😂😅

This is one of the best explanations of compression I've ever seen. Great job!

[@MattLeFaitMusic]

Great stuff!

[@davidparra1612]

You´ve got the best basic sound engineering concept tutorials in the game right now, thank you very much

[@Prhim05]

Simple, clear.. since I started mixing some months ago I couldn’t understand what compression is exactly and what it does, now i know! Thanks!

[@teashea1]

great teaching --- well done

great video. the drawings REALLY help.

[@XRON]

The legend is back.

[@mcohen9219]

Nice way of describing how compression works. Nowadays I feel like folks don't really learn how to use the "attack", "release" and "compression ratio" controls on a compressor. It's easier to just slap a plug-in on a track and choose a preset - not that those presets aren't often good "ball park" starting points. But in the old days, we had a finite number of hardware compressors and they didn't come with "presets" - you actually had to adjust the compressor to attenuate/compress the signal the way you wanted it to. It's kinda like photography. Anyone can their a "point-and-shoot" camera (or their phone) these days and take a picture. But once you had to actually set all the settings on your camera (f-stop, shutter speed, etc...) based on what you were shooting. You had to KNOW what those things did! Anyway, I don't mean to harp on like and old guy, but my point is that the audio world could use more engineers who really know their fundamentals. This is a very helpful video in that regard. What might be helpful is actual audio examples. Maybe something you'd incorporate in a future video?

[@miguelowls]

Great Video man! love the Illustrations you should do a illustrated series. :)

[@74Bagas]

6 years ago from wickiemedia, it was the best. till this, new bar

[@kestrelsings]

hehehehe had this on pause and right at the beginning I thought.. hmm.. Joe doesn't smoke does he??!! Then the cigarette turned into a pencil! hahaha Thanks Joe, I'm up to Step 3 in Mixing Course..and learning loads.. I'm using your stems to learn - but also went back to my recent production (which was very much a case of death by pluggins) and started from scatch to get a great static mix thanks to what I've learned so far- so grateful. Thanks

[@arianrasel3498]

wow thank you sir

[@ChrisDN]

Attack/release doesn't work quite like that. Neither of them are 'wait' or 'pause' times. They both begin immediately when the threshold is crossed in either direction. I'm ignoring a hold-function here. The attack time is how long the compressor takes to go from 1:1 to X:1. The release time is how long it takes to go from X:1 to 1:1. You can consider compressors to always be either attacking or releasing; they're never not doing one of those things. Unless they're turned off ofc.

[@HomeStudioCorner]

You're probably right, but this is a big-picture concept video.

[@JoshuaKrell]

@@HomeStudioCorner Love the humility in your response Joe! You are awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@vicesquadpunk]

Chris, have you considered that there are newbies and kids getting into recording who just want a basic concept of what is happening with compression and limiting and this video illustrates core principles perfectly, or was it a case that you wanted to showboat your technical know how in public? No offence intended in my response bro... STAY SAFE ✊️😊

[@jaredholton3145]

Agreed Chris! Valid points and I think that it’s important to understand this to be able to optimally achieve the sounds folks are looking for.

[@charliexu5013]

@@vicesquadpunk but it is not that difficult to understand anyway....

[@AdLaceStudios]

Hi Joe. Love the top down vibe you have going on! Great visual! I think it’s time to wash your coffee cup... lol

[@slurpeexyza17]

Love that deep six peeping in the background

[@tublars]

I believe the attack time is the time from the compressor being engaged (treshold) til it is at full ratio, so it doesn't wait to engage until the set attack time, but it gradually engages during that time.

[@MusicalWizardryMarcoIannello]

Love your pencil sharpener

[@obidavekenobe]

I like to think of attack and release times like opening and closing a door to let signal past theshhold. Attack time is how fast slow the door opens and release time is how the closes. Joe, I did like how you talked about what is happening with the sound that we hear.

[@ndujamz]

These explanations are the best. Now I understand what compression does. The question becomes when does 1 need to apply the compressor. If the kick sound.fine and not clipping do.i need to compress?

[@AntoineLafortune]

Music production could be so technically complex and overwhelming but you Joe, you're such an excellent teacher and the best to "de-complexify" very technical topics, and in a very pleasant way. (but hey, you maybe need some help to remove this thick stain inside your mug 😁)

[@rickyelvis3215]

[@HomeStudioCorner]

я сделаю это

[@blaqdiamondgold]

Thanks for the Great explanation joe this was very insightful. I have a question regarding tempo. Does studio have a function to follow songs recorded with out a click so that I can play midi parts to it and it will read and follow the tempo? I saw something like that on a video how to add drums to any song in logic part 2 but I use studio one it would be nice to find a video doing something like that . Blessings . Enough with my blabbing

[@smarthalayla6061]

Thanks for the tutorial. Is it possible to set a Compressor\Limiter as a volume rider?

[@arsene9216]

Hey @Joe Gilder,, Your mic is super awesome, would mind telling me the kind of mic u are using?

[@miguelangel3254]

what about the knee? : ) very helpful info! thanks

[@joashvarghese3224]

Hey Joe Gilder! Amazing video. I just have a question which might not be in the ballpark of this video but has to do with compression in studio one. Do you think using the fat channel as a de-esser is a good move? Does it work to remove that harshness from the lead vocal?

[@chrisjansson1997]

Now I’m going to think about Gandalf every time I use a limiter... thanks Joe!

[@pasxas]

Hello from Greece.. congrats for your job.. I want to ask if we re recording at 44100 24bit we must export at the exactly the same???.. at the wav format of course.. Thanks a lot

[@legowowinoto3729]

I like this shot. But I wandering why it's come shaky when you move. It's okay though, I'm just messing up. 😋 Thank you for the great teaching from Indonesia.

[@michaels656]

Thanks Joe. How does a compressor work differently to shape tones of rhythm guitar (strumming maybe), picking, and electric lead guitar (smooth sustain)?

[@andreanicole2006]

Gandalf shall always watch over me with sound from this day forth.

[@dandanliu6500]

What is the difference between compression and normalization? Thanks Joe. These videos are amazing.

[@HomeStudioCorner]

I got you. Will answer in an upcoming video.

[@dandanliu6500]

@@HomeStudioCorner you're the best. Really appreciate it!

[@dandanliu6500]

Hey Joe, it's me again. Been practicing what I've learned from your videos, and man, you are awesome. Just had to say that. For compression, I just want to make sure I'm understanding the math. If I set a threshold at -12, ratio at 3:1, and my peak is playing at -9 dB, that peak will be reduced to -11 dB correct? If the peak is playing at -6 dB, then it would be reduced to play at -10 dB. Is this right? This is hurting my brain.

[@quigley4440]

So in the "old days" with a live band and female singer, she use to put her mink coat over the face of the kick drum to tone it down - compression or eq?

[@agnibhchakraborty1116]

After watching this video I realised that I have been compressing without having any idea of whats going on

[@Evenmoresteven]

Hey Joe at our church we are pulling a separate aux mix from our presonus board for our livestream. How would you recommend compressing that as far as attack/release times?

[@HomeStudioCorner]

I’d just do a limiter.

[@elcangry855]

So I'm so confuse im trying set up my mic re20 qith revelator io24 but it seem like to low even with clouds lifters at 38 of gain any solution maby the eq is the problem?

[@jaumepp1975]

Shouldn't the whole sound have less dB when applying attack, which means you don't use the compressor as expected, meaning making everything louder?

[@ThaUnspokenTruth]

Subscribed as my mixes suck

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

A ratio of 2:1 would be like saying that there's 2dB of compression for every 1dB over threshold? I am still just a bit confused on that part.

[@BillGraper]

Here's a cool tool to show what happens with wav forms when you mess with the parameters of a compressor. It's really neat! codepen.io/animalsnacks/full/VRweeb

[@Manishsingh-yn6it]

I have a request man please make these videos with practicals ....side by side. like you did in your guitar eq video

[@Jinvomixing]

hehe... u can't touch dis 6:52

[@vinny142]

Just be careful that comporession is a tool to fix problems. If you don't have the problem, not use the tool. Lots of engineers just slap compression on everything because like Joe says; it makes things audible that are normally difficult to hear. the thing is; lots of sounds from instruments are just difficult to hear, that's just how it is. You don't need to make things audible that are not naturally audible in the instrument. Oh and be carefull with compression on voices,dynamic range is a good thing, not something you have to stomp out with endless buckets of compression. And go listen to your mix on a high quality audio set before you declare it finished.
