100% same I've noticed this

17:19 "I close my eyes". In the late 70's I'd been brought into my first band as lead guitarist. A couple rehearsals along, during a long solo, the leader quietly barks into my ear "close your f___in' eyes!!!!!". After the song was done, he said "I hope you hear the difference...... WE do!!!!!". In an interview, Carlos Santana spoke at length about the difference he experienced, having been advised by some (other) legendary guitarist. With the amount of visual information pouring in, but we're so used to it, we can't appreciate the benefit of shutting it off to facilitate the most important input channel...... our ears. Michael Wynne, I've got great appreciation for your attention to that most-important practice....... I've heard from live sound technicians the meters are the last thing they rely on. Some years ago on a club gig, my (estranged) in-laws---the real-life Archie and Edith Bunker of TV's "All in the Family"--- had come to see my Latin-ish rock band. Closing my eyes during solos has been the default for decades, except when communicating to the band the necessary cues. My mother-in-law asked my father-in-law, who was then a top-rank DEA agent, "why does he close his eyes when he's playing???" to which he replied, "he's on drugs!!!!!" :) :) :)

If you feel hard to hear the compression, turn the ratio all the way up and turn the attack to fastest, your sound will be compressed as hell, then slowly increase the attack time to hear how much sound can pass through the compression, when your attack is ok then turn back to normal ratio (like 2:1 to 4:1).

Michael, as an amateur editor I’ve watched dozens of videos trying to understand compression, but without much luck. You’re the first one to explain it clearly and precisely. The great thing is that you’ve emphasised the importance of using your ears (naturally!) rather than your eyes. Or relying on numbers. Thank you for that. Subscribed. Off to practice now!

As a beginner, I really appreciate the detail. The most frustrating thing when learning is watching a video with someone moving too quickly and skipping details, assuming you already know it. So thank you

Even thought I've been making music for years I frequently revisit basic but extremely well articulated videos like this one and I never fail to learn something new each time.

Dude, you’ve just helped me understand and hear something I’ve been struggling with for a couple years now. If you see this I just wanna say thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart. You rule dude.

Thanks so much. I've been struggling to understand compression for some time now, and have watched a lot of videos and read a lot of material from other sources. Your video made the function of all the parameters crystal clear, and the fact that you should apply compression to tracks within the mix is priceless. Thanks again!

Changing the ratio, attack and release in your own project after watching this, agree that although subtle, you can definitely hear what it's doing to the vocal, and how it sounds so much better, then realising you had it in bypass... Priceless.

been doing music for around 7 years in fl, love this detailed tutorial! i learned a bit and can hear what you're talking about, i normally don't make pop music but i found this very helpful

Hearing the difference in my mixes since I started watching this channel has been amazing, and I'm glad you keep making stuff for me to learn more from.

Honestly this is the 4th time I try to watch this video but I just can't focus more than 5 mins. It happens to me with every video from this channel, I think it's the chill voice. There is amazing content in this channel I so wish I could handle that voice tone without getting distracted... :(

I love that you explain every detail including obvious things like dry and wet. I'm 100% new to music production so I appreciate that you don't assume that we all know! Thank you so much! Sending you all the good vibes!!

It's so mysterious to me. I could not hear any differences and yet I can hear a huge difference in tracks of mine that others have used compression.

I always look forward to your channel for any tutorials I would wanna learn, sometimes I just randomly watch any video of yours and it's always fruitful for the viewer. Thank you. Plus, the singer Calvin is doing an amazing job, great vocals, loved it.

David Hasselhoff (The star of the American hit show Baywatch- if you recall was a big success, on television. Maybe some music people in the USA know this-Not all. I Germany, he was a huge musical success. We are talking sold out stadiums and mulit platinum-6 million copies in Germany in the 1 ST week of sales alone. Here in the states, I do not think he would sell in a coffee shop. That is why he and his management never approached any US labels or promoters. I do not know how is is today. I was standing right next to him for about 10 minutes, as we were both ordering Sushi-Made to order-right infront of you, in Encino CA. He certainly smelled of liquor. This was early afternoon.

Amazing, thank you so much for these videos, you are a legend. The compression here adds a new level of emotional intensity to the whole vocal and the 'pack my bags and leave' line explodes (in a good way) out from the rest of the mix. Fantastic singer, as well btw.

I am a home studio engineer from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 I have been just draging and dropping stuff in fl studio for the past year until i came across this channel ♥️ I have learnt a lot from Michael.. thank you so much..

just to be more specific, all compressors compress immediately as soon as the threshold is crossed, the attack time is how long it takes to reduce the volume by the ratio. A quick attack time will reduce the volume quickly whereas a long attack takes longer to reduce the volume but they all compress instantly. A compressor doesn't wait to compress ( a common misconception about attack times)

@bullpuppy7455

That's actually very helpful for me! Because up until now I've always seen it as taking x amount of time before the compressor starts to act. But if I understand correctly you are saying that it actually starts acting immediately, and takes x amount of time to reach maximum compression. With that in mind, is it safe to assume that the release also starts acting immediately, once the signal drops below the threshold, but takes y amount of time to return to 0 compression?

In other words, I couldn't figure out how we were 'making room' to raise the gain if the peaks were never compressed. But with this bit that you shared I get it now. The peaks do get compressed, but rather than chopping the peaks down it's allowing the transient to swell up a little before reaching max compression, so overall the peak is dropping as a whole, but not in one fell swoop. So one might even say that it operates like an upside-down noise gate, which you also wouldn't want to kick on/off right away, or you'd get the popping static sound.

@@stupidusername38 I appreciate that, but I can see it ever so clearly in my mind now. The idea of attack and release in compression is basically to sculpt the reduction of the peak, reducing the portions just past the threshold just a little, while bringing the top-most parts of the peak down more. This basically helps retain the general shape of the transient. Too fast an attack and the compressor would kick in right away and completely flatten the peak, and too slow of an attack and it won't be compressing enough by the time it reaches the top of the peak. I think most people get confused by how it is often explained to beginners - "We don't want the compressor to kick in too quickly, because we want to let the transient through" - and I think most people walk away thinking that the idea is to leave the transient untouched altogether, as was my understanding until you clarified it:)

@inthemix

Thank you, as for bass guitar, absolutely it will help the sustain. A lot of it comes down to technique, guitar build and the pickups but adding good compression is pretty essential to a good bass tone in my opinion. Don't be afraid to mess around with the settings, ideally you want the transient attack to come through, then the tail to be brought up, so maybe a medium attack and a slow release is a good place to start. Export the waveforms so you can see what the compressor is doing to the bass and use your ears to guide you. Good luck :)

dang, thank you so much I literally went right after this video and fixed a freestyle ive already posted with compression and was able to instantly fix my vocals and actually understand what I needed to do with the compressor! Thank you so much!

Still been trying to master the art of compression for a while now. And this video has been a huge help! Respect from Brisbane/Australia

Your videos are always very informative but i do believe your explanations of ratio and attack could be better. A low ratio should increase the compression assurances, but a high number will mean more DB is required before its triggered and therefore less compression per DB is achieved. Also, attack is the accelerations at which it takes to achieve that desired compression, but if your objective is to push gain then you might want a short attack to get punchier transients so its not a universal setting and very much depends on the pre and post gain goals.

Wait till he says the word "patterns".... "patterrrrrns". Best teacher of music production ever [in my opinion], and I base that opinion on genetics, aesthetics and his regional dialect. Not on his actual musical knowledge. He could be making it all up pretending he knows what all of these words actually mean like "ratios" or "make up gain"... Make up? I don't think those cheekbones need contouring... He could have never moved on from Dance Ejay on Windows 95, and I'd still take his advice over Busyworks beats or Seamless R... "Patterrrrrns"... says it all, seems legit. Gets my vote. Good job he's a boy otherwise this could seem quite sexist.

After so many endless searches, finally found something which made my life easy with the compressor...you did a fantastic job making it easy and simple to understand.

Yup, you did it man. Best compression tutorial probably on the whole internet hands down. Thanks so much man. You deserve all your views.

I like my women like I like my compressed vocals: thick

Thanks for taking the time to explain it in detail. Makes my understanding much more defined or at least I feel as if it makes more sense when you explain everything, even the bits that you might think are self explanatory. Again thanks for taking the time to really explain what your doing and understanding.

Working on audio at work constantly love getting these recommendations to see other peoples views on tools like this always more to learn, great video 🙏
