94: You're Not Compressing Enough!

Conventional advice on compression often boils down to: "don't squash the life out of your tracks with over-compression" and "buy THIS plug-in because it adds that extra special sweet saucy goodness to your tracks!" But why ARE we actually compressing our tracks?  The truth is, many DIY productions actually suffer from under-compression and it's because 1: compression is hard to hear so people don't trust themselves with it and 2: we lose track of the WHY...as in why are we compressing?  In this episode Vadim breaks down arguably the two most important reasons to apply compression to your tracks and the practical ways to employ them in your workflow.  You will learn: * Three common reasons compression is used and why the first two are the most important and often least-talked about * How to set up a static mix and what "flags" to look for that hint at compression being a solution * Why applying compression before you even start mixing can make the process easier (and more fun) * OK. OK. Some fun, sexy tips on what compressors do what and when to reach for them Where to Find the Guys Free DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.com [https://www.howtorecordyourband.com/] Vadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.com [https://calmfrogrecording.com/] Benjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.com [https://dreamloudstudio.com/] Leave a rating.
