MPC Compressor Types Explained

[@ohmthepoet8428]

A little tip for the vintage compressor or really any drum compression is to use a slower attack and medium to fast release so you can keeo the transients and also avoid losing the punchiness from the compressor. Keep it at 50% dry/wet and use a 4:1 ratio like you did and youll get a punchy fat sound with the transients so you dont lose any short hits like hihats, kick transients and all that jazz. Otherwise this was a great tutorial and helped me level up my understanding of the MPC compressors. I was trying to find anything that could tell me which one was most like the 1176 and this didnt directly answer my question but it was great and useful info nonetheless. Appreciate it man! You got a sub out of me for sure.

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right about the vintage compressor. Using the method that you recommended will definitely add character and punch to percussive arrangements. An 1176/FET emulation would be a cool addition to the MPC insert lineup. I didn’t see anything that that mimics an FET but I’ll take a look again. I researched the AIR limiter but it appears to be a standard mastering limiter. I’ll experiment with the settings and let you know if anything comes about this. Thank you so much for supporting the channel 😀.

Thank you so much for the support. I’m glad that this helped. Compression can make or break your track so it definitely beneficial to understand their functions and types. Again, thank you for tuning in!

Dope video bro!

[@dncmusic8070]

Thank you! I appreciate it my friend.

[@ipainthouses3084]

This was that video i need to see again , great tutorial. Watched it some weeks ago but i probably have to go back 1 or 2 times more , not native enlgish speaker.

[@dncmusic8070]

You’re welcome. Thank you so much for tuning in!

[@ipainthouses3084]

Finally i encounter someone explaining what de compressors do , still didnt get half of it , but thats more due to language barrier i think ( techincal words ) I want to learn how to mix n master so this helps 👍

[@dncmusic8070]

No worries. I plan on uploading more mixing tips soon. I’m that I was able to help where I could. Thank you for supporting the channel!

[@riskzerobeatz]

nice, thanks 😉

[@dncmusic8070]

I’m glad that this was of use to you. Compression can tricky. Too little and your sound looses definition, too much and it everything gets squashed. The worst part is that you don’t realize it until it’s too late. Thank you for support my friend😀.

[@jujubonavi]

Great video man! Question, is there a difference in adding the final bus compression to the main output insert rather than using submixes?

[@dncmusic8070]

Thank you for the question. The effect is the same but I would save compression on the main output for the master process. The mastering engineer may want to add compression on the final mix as to prepare it mix for final distribution. It’s not to say that you can’t but think with the end in mind. Bus compression on a set of outputs (drums as an example) its just another way to stabilize the dynamic range for that particular set of outputs. It makes that set of tracks/pads easier on the ears of the audience and, subsequently, more enjoyable. Let me know if that helps. Thank you for tuning in!

[@jujubonavi]

Thank you, very helpful answer!
