Yo this video is exactly what i needed, been struggling so much with mashed words and lack of clarity. Explaining the attack time like you have has done wonders for me. Love!!

I knew what attack and release do in compressors, but I didn't really understand it. This video explains it perfectly in less than 8 mins, very nice work.
