I love the fact that the young woman in the audience had the nerve, heart, and genuine curiosity to ask a very important question that many people believe that they already know. The magic is where JJP goes there and engages with the most beautiful, elegant, and descriptive answer. JJP came prepared with visuals, was very open, engaging, and passionate which is something that is rare and inspiring. Just incredible
Thank you AES, JJP, and to the participants in the crowd who weren't afraid to show up and ask those questions that everyone has in their minds.
So cool! JJP is a great teacher, communicator, and Artist. Yeah!
First time I’ve listened to JJP. This guy is freaking awesome.
Wow, came here to learn about compression, but there is so much more. His philosophy of Audio Engineering just shines through.
He's a creative and technical genius, plus super inspiring1
This guy is so friendly. Met him in NAMM 2018. Genuinely cares about the #musiccommunity
A life changer this video
My First time listening to JJP!! #Genius 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I see actually use compression to set the groove. You are very artistic I love it when science meets artistry.
golden video
Best compression video I’ve seen.
Well.... I am certainly happy to have watched and listened to this. Very good information here, I can already tell I'm better with compression and I haven't even used one since I've watched this yet. To understand why, is a proper foundation indeed.
Great Musicians are gonna make easer to achieve that.
I'm super grateful for this video!
Great!
Jack Joseph Puig is just awesome..really nice advice
increible documento
Thank you
This video gave me better understanding of what the role of compression is. Now my mission is to compare 1176 with LE2 for sure. Thank you.

Wisdom speaking here....

Next time you should do one about "The art of noise reduction" :)
An example of attack and release can be heard in Tina turners what’s love got to do with it. Listen to the bass guitar!
In 14:06 he sayd that with a fast (short) attack the peak moves to the beggining of the wave so the perception of the sound will be as faster or more in front. In this video czcams.com/video/yAqXnMOoxHI/video.html he sayd at 07:30 min that slow attack make things more in front. Maybe someone can help me to clarify this.
Think of it in two ways.
One is the first example.
A don’t think of the first initial transient being affected by the compression. Think of what falls after. So if your first peak of the wave goes through, and then the compression kicks in, It cuts off the rest, then that item “sounds” fast. It’s a snap, compared to a held note.
The second example.
By allowing a slower attack, you are not compressing the signal so soon, so in essence it sounds more in front. Let’s say a snare hit. You let the transient through, with a slow attack, and then compress the rest of the sound of that snare and so it sounds more in front. If you set it to fast then you are grabbing that initial hit, and squashing it, which in effect will make it softer in your mix or more “in back”.
Kind of like what he is saying in here where you could apply compression for volume, time, or placement in the mix. Really cool.
Is it just me or is there a sync issue with the video?
All good here.
Not clear for me how attack on compression can make something sound more in front or layd back.
Fast attack = Laid back
Slow attack = aggressive
Play with the knob while playing the music or whatever. You can tell the best with vocals
The gist is, compression reshapes a sounds volume envelope.
A quick attack lowers the beginning of a sound, making the tail end more pronounced. So instead of you feeling the weight of that sound early, you will experience it later as the compression releases.
stiil trying to understand, have been doing audio recording over 30 years, not convinced need for compression, i dont 'hear' it if anything it ruins the sound, ofcourse im doing something wrong not sure what lol but i will watch yet anoth video trying to explain this, it must be important, just not sure how
What was the "Device" he was referring to at 41:10 Anybody know?
Waves MV2
@@DJNassosB Thank you! Tried it recently and not a fan -At least for my style of stuff. There's a free one, but I can't remember the name... Will post if i can find it...
The thing I noticed with Waves plugins was that if I use one of them in a mix, I feel like I have to use ALL waves plugins. They have a certain quality to them. I believe this is by design...

37.00... Kermit The Frog sounds pretty serious these days, didn't know he dived into mixing.
sign wave???? sine wave ...
I love to hear JJP talk and mentor but honestly I don't like the sound of his mixes. I looked up his credits on Allmusic and listened to quite a few tracks. To me, sonically those mixes don't compare to Michael Brauar's work for instance. Someone change my mind.
They're just different. Michael does much more Radio pop work. You could check out Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics which is from an album he mixed and did pretty good on in my opinion.
“iris” is one of the best mixes of all time. “big girls don’t cry” is also a frequent sonic reference for me.
t's so disrespectful that people are always walking around in front of the camera
Seems like babalnce needs more deffinition. ...
Also, the sky is NOT blue, it only appears that way. So now what...?
JJPs ego is out of control
55 minutes of my life wasted
Then I would say you are very adept at using compression or you don’t understand the profound meaning behind a lot of what Jack is saying here. this is one of the best videos on compression I’ve seen despite the rough production.
@@audioglenngineer the whole thing was a mess. Yes I am very adept when it comes to the nuances of compression. I left with nothing new
@@x13roger80 fair enough. In the hundreds of compression videos, audio school, and 25 years running sound, I’ve yet to hear someone talk about using compression musically, quite like him. But it’s fine. To each his own.
@@audioglenngineer most of us keep that skill learned .
