Justin, you will go down as one of the most legendary KZread educators ever. Thanks for sharing your invaluable time, knowledge and experience with us.

Straight up

First 4 minutes and I'm already sold. It's one of the best explanations I've watched on KZread. Period.

Mind BLOWN!!! Thank you for the illustrations. I have been struggling with ratio until now. Thank you again!!!

Insane that none of these vids have more views? Impeccable content!

I have seen a million videos on compression and never (until now) explain the ratio in detail and perfect as this video. Most just say, "2:1, 4:1, 10:1 etc mean you are compressing this much. However, when to use a lower or higher ratio has always had my curiosity. Thanks for finally making a video on this topic. This video gives a thorough understanding of a ratio. ✌🏾

@@SonicScoop moreover, I am enjoying your teaching in breakthrough compression. I am on my 4th time of studying all 17 videos. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Is it possible that you can do a teaching on eq, e.g., how to use the widthof the band, that is, do you start off with all the way broad then adjust from there, or do you start off as in between then make the q wider. I am not sure if my point is made, but I have never seen a video in detail about this. You got to be the man to teach it, since this video on ratio is similar to my question.

So simple, yet so effective. Thanks for another no BS offering, Justin.

I have never had this explained so clearly, thank you so much!!

Man loved you’re video about depth in a mix. the way you explained it really made me think and solved the issues I was having.

Jeez ive been producing and mixing for 45 years and I never really understood how to properly use the ratio + threshold like this. yeah I can dial it in by ear but not with a clear strategy. kudos and thanks

Such a concise, comprehensive and comprehendible explanation of one of the most confusing subjects in audio. Good onya, Justin! 🙏😎

Thank you again ..... I’m finally starting to get my head around compression after about a year and a half of dedicated learning 🙌 see you next time ✌️💚☯️

I’m learning so much from your vids ..Not eq settings or attack and realise settings etc more Strategies to take into my mixes . 👍👍👍👍

Awesome to here! That’s what I’m hear for. And that’s what the Mixing Breakthroughs course is all about if it’s ever if interest. Thanks for watching, and for the comment. -Justin

wow best video i seen yet, explaining Ratio!!! Thx

so informative and gives specific examples so there’s no way you can get confused. subscribed 👍🏾

This is a good one Justin. I think using compression effectively is one of the hardest mixing skills to learn, and this video gives some great rules of thumb.

This was very informative. Every time I think I know enough about compression, videos like this remind there's always more to consider. I plan to hit you up soon about mastering services (aka quality control 😉). Hope to work with you in the near future!

This like all your videos was a big help! I'm heading over to my mix now but I might have to come back and watch this a few times to make sure I totally understand it.

Thank you are my big teacher 🙏🙏🙏

Great performance, the message got through very clear!

Gold material, thank you!!!

Excellent video, thanks.

Thanks Justin, great video as usual. I don't know if some people might find it unorthodox but compressing and limiting at different levels (track>Buss>Mix Buss) was one of the biggest game changers for me when mixing. Very easy to overdo but a huge improvement in consistency and tightness of the mix if you do find the sweet spot.

Absolutely! Something I definitely recommend for most genres. Thanks for weighing in. -Justin

I've finally conceptualised it in my head - thank you!

For me what worked was putting on a pair of good headphones and listening to the pushing and pulling of the sounds when I would change the ratio, attack and threshold. I am just now getting my ears use to hearing the differences through my monitors.

Hmmm, a lot of ppl talk bad about mixing w headphones but certain details you can just hear better, like reverb, and I guess compression, and even appropriate level of bass if you don't have a sub or don't have a well treated room

Awesome video. Very informative. Makes understanding compression ratios much easier to understand. Thank you for sharing 😎👍

Good Job!!!

I’m really loving your podcast and your videos. I’ve been listening more to the podcast because I can do it at work. Then when i get home I’m all pumped and super motivated to start trying some new stuff out. Inspiration comes and goes but I’ve been super inspired since I’ve been listening your stuff everyday. I can’t believe it took me so long to find it. I’ve been writing , recording, arranging, mixing my own music for years. That said I’ve never been able to get my mixes to sound the way I want them to. I have tons of songs that are basically finished but just need mixed better (and mastered after that.) So I’m really trying to get better with mixing. Would you ever consider listening to a song and maybe critiquing it and pointing out where it could be improved? Either way. Thanks so much for the great information man. Keep it up. 🖤

So awesome to hear Theo! I do offer mix critiques for both mastering clients and coaching clients if that's useful to you. If you're interested in either you can always reach out to justin at sonicscoop. Hope that helps! -Justin

thank u so much!

Great one boss

Logical...thnx!

so simple❤

Great!

Thx

Agree! Great Video 👍 Yeah breaking rules can get you awesome results sometimes! > SOMETIMES

Correct me if I`m wrong but the way I see ratio is with fraction so with a ration of 2 only 1/2 of the sound will go thru a ration of 4 only 1/4 of the sound will go thru and so on

@SonicScoop

That’s right! Another good way of saying it.

I like low ratio based on harmonic waves. 1:3:1 on bass 1:6:1 mids 1:9:1 on highs. These are very low ratios that work with fast attacks. Be amazed at ratios under 2.

Would you recommend a new mixer look at a visual representation of the sound wave to see what their compressor settings are doing to it?

Thanks for the video! Besides the transparent-notsotransparent. I also like to split them into "inserted" compression vs auxiliary compression or even use ratio as help for eqing that channel through compression without messing up the tone. :)

To much reverb or delay in your voice makes hard work of clarifying your words. And you talk to fast sometimes.
