Description: Can you really hear what your compressor is doing?
In this exclusive, Fab DuPont returns to the How To Listen series. This time it’s the Compression Edition. Compressors are one of the most useful tools we engineers have. They give us the ability to control the dynamics and shape the tone and character of the source material.
But can you really hear what your compressor is doing? During this 40 minute lesson, Fab will show you how to:
– Listen to the speaker not only the level, but also the frequency changes
– Send elements backwards or forwards in your mixes to add depth
– Add density and consistency to your drums
– Identify behavioral differences between known compressors.
After you learn to hear the differences, Fab will conduct a test in which you will need to determine the difference between 4 popular compressors on the kick drum, helping you add several signature compressor settings and styles to your “sound” memory.
Learn methods and approaches to compress vocals, drums and some of the most commonly used compressor applications.
