    Why would you compress your master? And why didn’t you set a EQ on the snare channel

  19. VPMusiconline Says:

    How come you did it all in the master channel?

  20. bcdrummer Says:

    finally i understand how the compressor works IN DEPTH. great tutorial man!

  21. PillsHeeur Says:

    Good analogy. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. In technical terms, you are reducing the range between the loudest and quietest sounds, essentially making your song/beat sound more rounded and equal.

    it compresses d freq. so it won’t go over whatever u set it up 2. for example if u have a person talking & then that person starts screaming obviously u r gonna hear a big difference on d volume. But if u compress it whenever d person scream it’s not gonna blow ur head cuz d freq stays below whatever u set it up 2. . . that’s roughly what a compressor does. . .

  23. warrentini Says:

    very descriptive tutorial great for teaching me use of the effect, but i still dont understand what the compressor does to the sound exactly, and how would i evnelope and trigger these effects in the song? ive been making hip hop beats for about a year now and im trying to get into more of an electro house kind of deal. help would be much appreciated.

  24. heretiquemusic Says:

    Excellent tutorial, just what I was looking for. Very descriptive and the information is very clear. . . thanks a lot.

  25. LoksVassago Says:

    To compress audio based on gain is to dynamically reduce or increase volume based on the current peak volume of the input track. Generally it’s decrease. For instance, a very loud instrument may be so loud that its sound is becoming too harsh and “square”, therefore you use a compressor so that whenever the volume gets too loud to sound good it becomes reduced in an appropriate manner.
