    This video shows #compression basics with Ableton Live's stock compressor to aid you in mixing.
    This is more of a quick crash course instead of a comprehensive masterclass, but you should understand what a compressor does and how after watching this video. You will hear and also see what the compressor is doing to the signal.

    Is there a way to do the opposite? Gain volume for the parts that are low? I don't want to compress.

    • @fanusamurai
      @fanusamurai  Před 2 lety

      That’s what the end result of compression is. Compression isn’t a hurtful thing to your signal if you do it right.

  • @patony_1288
    @patony_1288 Před 2 lety

    Is compression like autotune, and how do you know ,when you pick a certain part of an audio to compress, how do you know when it is at the same level as the rest of vocals, another thing is what if the other parts (vocals ) were sing too low how do you bring them up to the same level as the rest?

    • @fanusamurai
      @fanusamurai  Před 2 lety +1

      Compression has nothing to do with tuning: basically it aims at evening out the level of the signal.
      How you know the level is right: basically you listen. Also, if you freeze a compressed track, you should see, when comparing to the original, that the level is more even after compression.
      When some parts have been sung too low and some too loud - that's exactly when compression can be used to help even out the signal levels.

      Thank you, My ears is not very good at hearing the difference, I tried compressing before and it totally screwed the audio so bad I decided to give ut up.

      When you want to on/off the compressor to hear what it’s doing to the levels, having it off lets you hear it properly.

      I absolutely don't try and adhere to the ADHD generation with constant quick, short videos with a lot of funny stuff, quick flashy editing - at all. And some things take time to explain. Try to teach compression in 60 seconds so that someone can walk away from it and say they understand it and can now use it - that can't be done. I rather take my time and explain things in depth they need. This video, out of all videos I've ever done, is the one that's received the most amount of comments and thanks, and ppl have said they learned to do compression - prob due to the time I took to explain it. So yeah, won't be making short videos for the sake of shortness; I'm sure you'll find tons of them elsewhere.
