[@Phunkywhiteboy]

best music production tutorial ive seen so far

[@LuizPauloDT]

Me too, hands down!

[@Esperal777]

Johny,You're the best,the most helpful and the most viewer friendly musican/music producer on KZbin.Thank You sooooo much,I've always had problem with compresors and how to use them,and Your video solved all of them!. Keep the great job,it's superb!

[@Luxpalloris]

genious! i watched a ton of tutorials on compressing lately and this one is the best by far! thank you very much kind sir

[@Spirosanathema2011]

Very useful tutorial on compressors. Im sure it answered many peoples questions. Thanx ur the man !

[@kgenextreme]

Great explaination and love the fact that you went beyond to explain how a multi band is used and the expander. I didn't know what it was. Figured it was the inverse of a compressor. :P Thanks! More tutorials definitely.

[@meller7303]

Extremely helpful video. It's great that you try to be as simple as possible!

[@JohnKino21]

To make it fatter you can give it a very fast attack to take away the transients then add it back in with a transient designer but that's just the way I do it. Great tutorial! Very Informative.

Very cool man, you helped me understand compressors a bit clearer. Great job :)

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

you´re right, of course. there are so many techniques to use a compressor for different things. but in this tutorial i wanted to keep it focused on how a compressor actually works, so i had to cut it short (and still 16 minutes long :p )

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

i think that´s more dependent on the genre. for dance and trance and that stuff it´s pretty useful, i.e. at side-chaining the bass with the kick. but for metal it´s not that important with all the noise going on. i just set a general setting for whatever i want to do and depending on the recording i fine tweak, but i don´t bother being that extremely picky.

[@SpaceAapjes]

word, this video is really really helpfull. Thanks alot for this man.

[@TechcoreIsSexy]

awesome man thanks for this tutorial. i would like to see how you aproach a compresor in your songs. i mean i want to se them in action. how do you use them in your mix yeah this is very helpful but would be better to see how yoy use them in practice.

[@Musicreator74]

Thanks mate, So.... you only use the AKG's for mixing/mastering? In one of your videos you put those expensive (Cardboard box :-) bass traps in the corner. Is this just for referencing on normal HiFi speakers?

[@Musicreator74]

Johnny, Quick question, I have searched quite a few of your videos but have not been able to find out......what speakers do you use for mixing and mastering? Cheers mate!

[@Markerece]

I'm not sure if you do this or if you'd just forgotten to mention it during your tutorial, but do you calculate your attack and release times? Like for example at 140bpm, a 16th note is 107ms long so whatever attack time you'd just used to compress, you subtract that from 107 and use it for the release. Of course it varies from compressor to compressor because of varying reaction times, but it's useful to know as a guideline. I've never tried and I'd like to know your thoughts on the matter.

[@DarkBlackReaper]

Thank you!This video is very helpful .

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

studio one, because it rules in everything it does and kicks everything else out of the water that i messed around with.

[@JBrier95]

Hey man, see when your doing guitars, do you use cab ir's? Cause ive seen you can use them and that you cant haha

[@munenekirimi5887]

well explained. thank you.

[@forzsound]

Great tutorial

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

yes, do it. Pro Tools was the first of its kind that´s why many swear by it. but it´s definitely not the best, at least not for home productions.

[@analyzedwithin]

Very insightful!

[@underneaththesilence]

Hey, I've noticed that when I get to the mastering stage in ozone 5, I get everything to sound great, exactly how I want it, ony

[@50procentkorting]

Great video man. Helps a lot. \m/

[@ShogoonMusik]

Deutschester Akzent jemals ;) sehr gutes video

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

check my playlist ED. i made a bunch of tutorials on my music production. there you´ll see how i exactly use it on the bass, the drums and in mastering.

[@akasullyl33t]

do you use logic now instead of cubase? If so which do you prefer and for what reasons?

[@underneaththesilence]

Only when I'm done the kick drum seems to turn into a "click" drum. It's extremely annoying. I've tried narrow band eq's to ridiculous extents, but their always seems to be a stupid click, it doesn't loose bass or punch, it just clicks. Do you have any solutions or suggestions to try? Does studio drummer sound any better. I'm using superior drummer by the way.

[@drrobotnikmeanbeanma]

Whats the difference between a compressor with out a pc and the built in compressor that comes with software ? I think the compressor without the pc would be better for me with my 8 Track Tascam Dp -008ex

[@smitco1]

Dude iam for ever telling people how good studio one is, its a shame the world only thinks of pro tools.

[@chalerhingo1310]
