Do You REALLY NEED mix buss COMPRESSION?
Музыка
If you’re unsure whether you need to compress your mix, you’re probably thinking about things the wrong way. Join Gregory Scott, Kush Audio’s resident plugin and hardware designer, as he screws your head on straight and helps you to understand why you might - and might NOT - want to slap a compressor on your mix buss.

The best audio teacher on the internet. Captivating and easy to understand. Brilliant explanations.
I, once, accidentally put a buss compressor on a drum bus for texturing. Hours of tweaking, bounced the file and it was magical. The catch here, however is the compressor was all in bypass mode when I was tweaking. I was an idiot for sure. But learnt that sometimes your sound doesn't need anything. Placebo effect? I do not know. But this was one eye-opening experience for sure. Thanks for your video, btw. My only go-to YT channel when it comes to audio post-processing. Love from India.

“Odds are its probably there before you can hear it.” So true. Great advice 😎
as a firm believer in understanding the "whys" rather than the "whats", I really appreciate you treating your audience as critical thinking humans. thank you for what you do.
Another great lesson: "Compressor on mixbus to create movement (enhance or deeper or change the groove) " - Thanks Mr.Gregory Scott!!!!! Oh Captain, My Captain!!!!!
Kush. You should do a Live Stream Q&A one of these days! I would definitely tune in. Thanks for the insights.
I don't know why exactly, but for mixing-related content, I find that I understand the most when it's just a chill talk and explanation of the subject without showing video of the DAW graphics doing its thing. This is exactly why this channel and SonicScoop with Justin Colletti are my favorite. In that order.
I love that you're not humming and rambling over an Ableton window. You are actually just explaining how to think about this stuff. Super helpful for a newbie like me.
"The question is: 'Does it serve the emotional impact of this work of art?'". Amen.
You’re giving every intern what they really wanted to learn while they were grinding out 16 hour shifts doing food runs and watching the cameras. 😂

"Is it necessary" - "This doesn't really make sense to me unless we contextualize it." Thank you! I see this kind of question all the time and the first thing I want to ask is, "Necessary" - for what? It may be necessary for one thing but not another. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish and whether this is one potential solution.

You know? .... What I find helpful is, as we listen to the teacher teach... A great form of follow up to all that IS being taught, can often lie in the teachers own material... Sneaky little devil is a great format for you to say: " Ahhhhh... That's what Gregory means, when he was talking about 'X'"... You'll be rewarded to actually 'hear' many of his topic's applications- Thank you again Gregory for your work- Super helpful* 👏🏻👑
I think you could do a video on how to make a cabbage and onion smoothie and Id still give it a thumbs up.
I'm honoured that you took out time to explain more on that question. Obviously your perception is really advanced ( I mean what do you expect from someone who makes mixing tools). I've always looked at mixbus compression as a tool to control dynamics, but I will try and approach it differently next time to see how it affects the rythm and feel of the whole mix. Thanks 🙏
I wish there was like an ultra subscribe button or something... Gregory Scott is the man, every video has the perfect amount of wisdom and is very well delivered and the concepts are all crystal clearly explained, gets me thinking on the right brain path for success, all thumbs up to Kush After Hours

love u man, the amount of knowledge dropped is pure gold!
Always a thought provoking treat! Hope all is good in your world Mr Scott 👍
I love your videos. I find this kind of content that’s geared towards “way of thinking” incredibly valuable. So, thank you for doing what you do.
Sooo good and smouth. Thanks for the sound advises and the way you give them. You gave time to assimilate them.

Thanks for letting us geek out with you:)
Awesome as always Gregory. I love the way you always put ears and feeling before reaching and tweaking.
Pure gold. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Wow. Just discovered your tutorials. Excellent. Probably the best advice, and insight into the mixing thang.
Solid information! Thanks for all the value you add to the community!
Thank you so much Mr. Scott!! Woot!
I can't get enough of this channel. It truly is unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much
I gotta tell you, in 30 years in Boston, NY and DC, with about 500 sessions under my belt on 24 track analog, I never once heard anyone use the term "glue" when mixing. Not even once. The whole idea of "gluey compression" I think is to correct artifacts that result from mixing ITB with no console. The console itself is a bus and does some natural compression, coloration and dynamics just by passing audio though it. That being said, I totally agree with everything you said and if you need compression, use it. Just don't fall into the standard KZread mentality of "Do This On Every Mix" and stuff like "bus everything" because One Size Does Not Fit All.

Great description! I love it.
The way you deliver the ideas is just brilliant. It's like sitting in a nice room in the evening with a great friend and exchanging the thoughts.
So nice to approach this from an emotional and creative perspective, very inspiring 🙌
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and wisdom Gregory Scott. I look forward to your talks and get excited when I see a new one. I need a T Shirt that says Gregory Scott is my spirit animal.
im getting back into music production/ mixing after about 13 years. I'm glad i came across this channel. You put it in a way i can understand.
Another great video, you're appreciated! I like your ability to rise out of the process discussion into the conceptual realm. Great stuff.
You make things so understandable and receptive to the ear. I've watched endless different engineers on here and none have been able to present the info in a way I can retain it. You make that possible dude. Thank you! Coffee and Kush anytime, on me.
I love the way you talk about things! This discussion of all the elements being part of the whole work of art, and describing them based on what they do to our perception. It's really wonderful😌✌️
Pure gold on this channel 👑
Another great therapy session Greg! Thanks for reminding us we don’t “have to” do anything (all subjective in art)...I appreciate your words and consistent vibe w/which you deliver them.

Great continuation of the "Hearing Compression" video. Thanks for another piece of the puzzle, UBK.
Oh wow! Thank you very much for that! I genuinely have been asking this question around for sometime and still was feeling a bit "anxious" about whether using it or not even when happy with everything in the mix without it. Yet I got your points about different texture , clarity etc.., compression can bring depending on the scenario. I really feel relief now about that topic. Thank you ever so much Gregory. All the best to you.
Wonderful! Your videos bring a very unicque approach and very precious knowledge. It's being mind widening for me to watch them. Thank you for this!
So consistently good that I upvote automatically before even watching, just so I don't forget. I love the idea of using compression artistically, for effect, rather than just a problem solver.
I'm so happy you're catching new views, fully deserved, keep it up!! I like my Kush first thing in the morning with a hot coffee ;)
I love that you mentioned that, at the end of the day, we’re all just making art. It’s easy to forget that and get caught up in insignificant details. Great stuff!
