    How is it that I scoured the internet for advise for beginners and you are the ONLY person to explain it in a way I truly understand???
    I've been looking for answers about these tools for nearly 2 years.
    Thank you!

    Great explanation! I lost the settings an old friend had walked me through almost a decade ago after a computer change, and all the tutorials I could find seem to be exclusively focused on EDM and rock. This is a perfect example to teach us how to work vocals needing a less aggressive compression style, thank you so much!

    Very, very well done! I'm juuust starting with DAWs, so this was amazing. Well done, sir!

    Sometimes compression is difficult to hear, because our ears (or at least the audio-processor part of our brains) kind of automatically compensate for dynamics anyway. Well, that's what I tell myself every time I mess up! Well explained again, Myk.

    I've been wondering about some of the actual controls and what they do. Excellent video. Thanks!

    Nice dude! So glad you added the correction in text about the attack, I wouldn't have been able to hold back from jumping on this otherwise hahah

      to quote an old commercial, "i learned it by watching you!"
      I knew as soon as i started speaking that i said it wrong, old habits die hard. But i figured i'd leave it and add the text correction just to keep the flow going.

      @@LetsTalkAboutReaper Makes sense about keeping the flow! You know, I just realized I missed a great pun opportunity in my previous comment lol

    Thank you for the great tutorial. 👍 I was wondering which template youre using? I came over from the heavy weight Ableton.
    Will you make a vid about the different types of compressors?

    • @LetsTalkAboutReaper
      @LetsTalkAboutReaper  Před 3 lety

      Hey, thanks for watching! I'm using the default theme in this video, I just color my tracks using SWS Extension Auto Color (I have a video on that topic)
      I do want to go further into compressors as I figure out a reasonable way to explain things 😂 I hope to cover side chain compression in it's own video, and multiband compression as well.
      Or are you more interested in FET, VCA, optical, etc?

    Using an oscilloscope plug, aids by seeing what the compressor is doing to the waveform.

    Good video. Also, I would never have guessed you have a daughter that old. Good for you. You’ll be set when you're 80! 😀
