How to Hear Compression on Kick Drum

[@Kitzy]

This is the explanation I’ve always wanted on how compression works on on drums. Thank you!

[@onesevenbeatxs]

First English teacher who explain so nice and easy , everyone can easily understand .

[@claudemanning6578]

For the longest time I kept wondering why all my kicks after I mixed the songs would be very snappy but not really beefy because I use an LA2A vst on my kick bus but this has actually answered my question. Thanks Joe

[@erikfox8471]

...omg you are the best audio production teacher in the world....respect!! we love you!!

[@theunravelers3995]

What a great explanation. Getting the concept now

[@jimhart1959]

Best video on drum compression! So helpful….thanks!

[@nedim_guitar]

Feels good that I understand this and got it down! I'm just a hobby musician, but I AM a musician, that also mixes his own stuff, so it's good to know that I know some techniques.

[@jamesflickinger1363]

One of the best videos on kick compression. Thank you.

[@godsowncountryman7098]

Dude you're awesome. Thank you so much for your explanations. Love your humility. God bless you brother.

[@garnetbey7400]

[@Alex-dg1uo]

[@MarkMensahsarfo]

Nailed it, Joe... Thanks for this

[@DielectricFailure]

How you demonstrated this was easier for me to understand. Thank you!

[@michaellavender]

I LOVE YOU JOE! we both use the same DAW and you cut to the chase! clicked off an hour long video of someone explaining the same thing. you earned a subscriber!

[@SebastienM2012]

Great tutorial and great vids in general! Congratulations and thank you!

[@aberuper9985]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@raymondshue8045]

Very enlightening and easy to understand wonderful video Brother keep bringing the “noise” 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼

[@PrateekGuptaOfficial]

Very cool!

[@TheToneWork]

So interesting seeing other peoples work. One session I worked on in a studio in Nashville, the producer taped a credit card to the head where the beater hit. He then split the kick into 3 channels and eq'd and compressed the high, mid and low separately. I've never used eq on drums at all. I guess I'll be trying this.

[@davegreen7853]

Top Draw . excellent explanation .

[@valentim.mp4]

you're a great teacher! thank you somuch for this! following for a while now and ongoing! cheers from Portugal

[@jrmaal]

Good stuff Joe, thanks!

[@RockerBug17]

It did help. Thanks!

[@hanbo123]

Awesome video. A visual of the transient would be super helpful too - to show what the head and tail of the waveform look like when changing the attack and release. Cheers and keep it up!

[@DelasVC]

Just found your channel and it is pure gold! Thank you so much, Joe :)!

[@jayclement17]

Looking forward to trying these tips on cajon! Thanks, Joe!

[@lynnegibson8988]

Yes, I was hoping you would follow up the snare compression video with a kick video using a similar technique . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@mattmartin441]

This is really good. A great explanation.

[@derrickstewart8025]

Wow , Thanks man !

[@TheFinalGamerRN]

Great video Joe, as always!

[@TerTeramus]

that was really helpful, thank you

[@ordreancien]

Crystal clear

[@rubenedu3797]

Supper dope!!!!!

[@marymoon96]

Hi Joe, can you explain the ratio? Why 4:1 on some things, 2:1 on others?

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

So helpful - cheers man 🙏🏻🤟

[@whisperthiefmusic]

Absolutely fantastic explanation and tutorial, thanks so much sharing this with me :)

[@JeffWald]

Great simple explanation, Joe! Our buddy, Dave Filson, couldn't have done it better :D

[@thecompletejake]

My phone speakers totally failed me on this video. Thank you to my studio headphones for clearing this up.

[@eldufilio]

Great video 👍🤘🏻

[@bestdisco1979]

I recently watched a tutorial that recommended a fast attack at around 5 m s . This sounds like bad advice me because it will clamp down on the clicky transient surely,,,,,,what do you say ?

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Hey brother, I believe that you mixed up your fast/slow explanation on the "release" of the "BOOM". Great content as always.

[@JamesAldenLawrence]

BOOM!!!

[@b1j]

Joe, how would this approach differ or be similar if working with a Superior Drummer 3 track? Remember, many of us homebodies don't have access to talented drummers to record! Thanks.

[@SebastienM2012]

Pretty much the same. The sounds on SD are dry to start with.

[@michaeltablet8577]

Great video ! Thanks Joe! oom is the sound a dyslexic cow makes.

[@HomeStudioCorner]

😂

[@arielputramarthen67]

Hi Joe, I've been struggling to find a way to mix vocal and acoustic guitar that recorded on one mic. Would mean the world for me if you decide to do a video on this 🙏🏼 P.S. I use my zoom h6 to record it

[@craigchammings6580]

If the release time is too long, can it start to impact the next transient? Like the compressor won't release before the next transient gets there? I'm wondering how a compression vs transient designer episode would go. 🤔

[@earledaniels4539]

If the release is longer than the time between kick transients, you will be in permanent compression and lose all the character and dynamics of the kick

[@ojha1999]

👍🏼

[@youthflash716]

❤❤❤

[@Josh-lm7qq]

How do you capture studio one and its audio?

[@The4thLetter]

I wonder if this why my kicks don't have that "roundness" to them.. I have never bothered compressing them 🤔

[@gregtapevideo1464]

You mentioned a gate. So.....when does one opt for a gate instead of a compressor??

[@HomeStudioCorner]

Two differrent things for two different purposes. Gate is for cutting out extra noise between hits. Compressor is for shaping the tone of the hits themselves. I almost never use a gate.

[@markcook2980]

Great video! Go Brandon!

[@cinemaipswich4636]

I was just hearing Adel's latest No.1 hit and I noticed it was a 4 track song, with each track being rather raw and not perfectly recorded. Sometimes I think too much, is too much.

[@firmans12]

But how to compress kick without losing it roundiness

[@HomeStudioCorner]

Slower attack time, maybe.

[@brianburke808]

OOM is for "Out of mana". Everyone knows this ;)

[@HomeStudioCorner]

I’m fresh out of manna

[@alexvmusicPH]

First!
