Compressor Designer GEEKS OUT on DRUM COMPRESSION!

If you dig my message, maybe you'll dig my productions: / @sneakylittledevil5866
Compressors are powerful weapons that define the tone, texture, and attitude of our productions. Join Gregory Scott, Kush Audio’s analog and plugin designer, as he twists the knobs on a compressor plugin while telling you exactly what to listen for, making it incredibly easy to hear all the nuances that make compressors the most magical pieces of gear in a producer’s arsenal.

Is there any analizer to show just the transients of the compressor attack? Sorry for my question because 2 thousands people have written their comments so then no one can see my comment

[@Kellz_777]

@@Kambiz.Mahdavi no problem! I’ll try to answer that question: there’s a compressor that I use (that’s free) called Rough Rider and it has a visual feed on it so you can see what it’s doing to your signal as you adjust your settings. In theory you could put a second one behind it (or any other compressor) in your chain with a 1:1 ratio so you could just analyze the first signal from there solely. ..But more importantly, with any processing moves you make (EQ, comp., etc.) you’ll want to A-B them with your ears to really see if what you’re doing is helping “before-after-before-after.”

[@danepaulstewart8464]

This is compression on a drum MIX, which I think in many ways is quite different from compression on individual drums. There are some similarities, yes. But mostly differences. I wish this was a 2-way conversation because the first thing I would want to ask is “why are we not simply making level, saturation, or eq changes to the individual drum tracks themselves?” Because all this could be accomplished that way also, but with a more natural, less “studio affected” sound. Now, if this was a drum loop within a recording I understand why we would have to approach it this way. I am reminded that the lesson here was simply “how to hear it”, and I guess this choice of material does indeed highlight the attack and release of the compressor pretty well, so I give it credit for that. I guess I just wish a lesson of this type could have been delivered using an instrument track in a manner more consistent with how it would be presented to me in someone’s recording. I would have very much appreciated this type of demonstration to have been done with a non-distorted guitar, a piano, or a strong dynamic lead vocal. But thanks anyway. I don’t want to sound like this isn’t helpful at all, because it most certainly is.

That's... incredibly kind of you to say, thank you! And I'm beyond grateful for the support of this amazing little community that's coming together. And on top of that, I find that owning the worst things people say about me is incredibly empowering, because it's all true, just as it's all not-true. There are times when I'm an assclown, and there are times when I'm a sensitive nurturing mentor. I'm everything people say I am, because their reality of me is true for them. And I love myself completely, or at least I'm working on it and getting better at it all the time. Truly, I recommend agreeing with every troll you encounter, IME acknowledging the kernel of truth in every perspective is beyond liberating. But it's not for everyone, and I respect that! 💛

@@TheHouseofKushTV Well, thank you for the reply, and no thank you because I'm sorry..oh but then I'm not sorry (lol). I get it. I know where you're at (consciousness-wise). I've been through the journey as well. And you're the inspiration...get it!!...journey...inspiration. Seriously, thank you for loving yourself enough to take the journey to know yourself to the point that has brought us all so much of whatever it may mean and manifest itself for each individual. And I would appreciate it if you could tell me the heck i just said. (Ha) (smiles). Take care. 🌈🎛🎶

@@TheHouseofKushTV people will always hate… but thanks tons this video really helped, I’ve always just randomly thrown on compressors

[@driesduchateau1021]

As a 17yo beginner, ive watched alot of videos on compression but this one made it so simple. I no longer need to guess what these knobs do. This is golden, thank you.

[@rocketVOMITUS]

I really enjoyed this "exercise". Instant sub BTW, using a decent and appropriate sound example as you did here is rare among youtube mixing tutorials.

[@izraulhidashi4323]

Dude...this is by far one of the best and most informative videos on compression ever made. 27,000 likes and 143 ignorant haters proves that. You're like the Bob Ross of mixing.

[@guillermobazzi2401]

After watching the video, I felt like a kid with strong myopia wearing glasses for the first time... Now I've watched it 10 times I realized that I was completely blind... Thank you very much for making it so clear and simple!
