Description: I guarantee you, Compressor will be the last audio plugin you explore in depth. However, it’s an audio plugin that will exponentially improve your sound and creativity. First, you need an understanding of how compression and audio dynamics work, and second, you need a trained ear to hear the benefits and negative artifacts you can introduce into an audio signal.
Furthermore, there are many myths (unintentional lies) about compression on YouTube when it comes to threshold, ratio, and output value. In this course, you’ll gain a complete understanding of how to truly use a compressor creatively. We won’t get bogged down in unnecessary details. I’m clear that as a producer, you need to know WHAT you’re hearing and how to achieve the desired results from compression. (Whether it’s mastering, instrument balancing, or sound modeling.)
As mentioned, audio compression takes a LONG TIME to understand and learn to fully hear what you’re applying to your music. This course will save you a ton of time, instead of trying to figure it out on your own. Let me show you step by step why we, as producers, use audio compression to improve your beats, mixes, and creativity.
