    Maaan this master class on compression is just DOPE. And using the Fab Filter Comp graph was really a good idea to demonstrate what does every parameter to the track or sound including the threshold, ratio, attack and release. Thanks for your input, you are the man!

  • @NanoSlap
    @NanoSlap4 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for this clear explanation, man! Could it be summed up (kind of mediocrely) as: compression will be more (or too) agressive if you set very fast attack times because it affects transients to soon and kills performance , and if you set slow release times because it stops compressing too late and doesn’t let it breathe? // and viceversa for gentle compression (taking into account that it all depends on the thresold)

    I’m so confused, aren’t LUFS a measure of perceived loudness? Wouldn’t we expect a more drastic increase in LUFS if the compression is boosting perceived loudness?

    LUFS is intended to measure perceived loudness but it can't measure all the subtle details of perceived loudness that the human ear can :)

    For the C4 and C6 plugins, everytime I put one of them on a master bus without any other plugins, it adds about 3 db of gain even with everything in the plug-in bypassed, would that be because of the phase crossover issues?

    Curious, why so slow on the attack on the vocal? It really seems to over-accentuate the consonants and the beginnng bits of the sibilences to my ear in a not so pleasing way in this instance (at least when soloed). Was the track full of rhythmic transients that made this necessary for it to stand out or what was your thought process for determining the attack time for this(or vocals in general)?

  • @SeanDivine

    @SeanDivine

    4 жыл бұрын

    if you compare @ 10:20, that's not necessarily a result of how it was compressed. the attack wouldn't fix this (at least not entirely). And yes, very transient heavy instrumentation - hyperurl.co/rdfrsl
