Awesome vid!!! Curious - did you use the 1176 during tracking as well? If so, what were the settings that you landed on? Thanks!! 🙏

So good Colt! Please keep this type of videos coming! Happy holidays buddy 🤘

I've *paid* for recording masterclasses that had less concrete information... I'm a tad envious of people who are starting out in audio with ressources of this quality and I think you're doing the community a great service with this easy to understand, "concepts applied to a real scenario" format. Thanks for the great video :)

We never stop learning. Nice to not be a dog because I wouldn't learn new tricks as I age.

Hey Colt, I want to tell you as a guy old enough to be your old man, that your tutorials and videos in general are so much appreciated. When I get discouraged and feel like I am spinning my wheels your videos are motivational and encourages me to keep at it. Thanks for what you do to help others! Yes I did watch all the way to the end.

THIS ! Is the comprehensive and understandable tutorial I think we've all been searching/waiting for. Playing the track while making REAL adjustments helps much more than saying "this or that level is where you wanna be" Seeing and hearing the real time application of level changing , attack and release settings and practical application of setting the correct depth of the vocal in the mix. Good stuff bro!

There's no way I wasn't sticking around for this entire video, after about 7-8 years of learning how to mix by myself, this is by far the absolute BEST video I have ever seen describing the usage of a compressor and thorough explanation on what each section of one does, well done man, well done!

Hi Colt. I am a frustrated home hobbyist who has struggled with with compression since my 1st mix. Your tutorial is BY FAR the best Compression tutorial I have watched in the past couple of years.. You are a gifted engineer and teacher. Gifted Engineers are a blessing, Gifted Teachers willing to share their passion are twice the blessing. I learned more from you in this one video than I have in the past 2 years combine. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge in such a humble and down to earth, comprehensive presentation. -Jay

I have found dozens of “how to compress vocals” KZread vids, most of which are focused on recommended settings and levels rather than what you did, which is succinctly breaking down the aspects of what makes up compression, individually and as a whole. Now instead of just using recommended levels, I feel like I have more freedom make my own choices based on the new knowledge and understanding. Very well done, Colt. Subscribed and thank you!

If you bus compression and side chain you basically can compress as harsh as you like but only feeding a small amount to the vocal

always learning, thanks for the pro tip! fabfilter multiband was especially helpful. i did notice some artifacts in melodyne tuning, but maybe thats just me

LOL, I’m just a nerd that loves audio! Thanks so much for watching!

The info you give in your videos is gold... it took me years to understand things and get to a certain level and you display it and explain it in a fast and simple way. Really great content you have here...

Dude, this was fantastic. This is exactly the type of content I'm looking for. The way the release time affects our perception of distance is way cool! Thanks so much for doing this.

Hey Bud, thanks for taking the time out to help us with Compression, a big key to it all. Much love, Paul 🙋🏾‍♂️🎶🎶

Wow. I just want to let you know as someone who’s been trying to learn how to mix vocals in his spare time for 3 years, out of the hundreds of videos I’ve watched about compression, you have single-handedly blown them out of the water. With your descriptiveness, and how you explain HOW and WHY each and every knob of the compressor does what it does. Great job, great video, and you’ve earned my subscription, keep up the great work and thank you 🙌🏿

This is the most clear and insightful dive into compression i've seen so far!!! Killin it my man! Thank you.

your videos are the most consistently helpful videos on all of youtube. i find myself having an a-ha moment almost every video and liking them and saving them to rewatch later

giving away real sauce for free. we appreciate you Colt. looking forward to the record. happy New Years to you & yours my friend.

Made it to the end; very helpful! Thanks and Happy New Year!

I love watching this kind of videos and really appreciate the hard work put into them! I find this tips way too helpful as I'm starting in building up my home studio and my producer-ish journey and learning how to use this stuff and get good results so thanks again Colt!

Made it to the end. I've been watching videos along this line for 2 days. This was the best and easiest to understand.

Great in-depth video on compression by far the best I have seen on KZread.

This is the best video on compression Ive ever seen by far. Thank you so much Colt. you're making a huge difference.

Colt man that was the best class on compression I've seen yet. I've been watching you about a month now, very impressive. Thanks

Only my 2nd video Colt... you're the best teacher I've seen here. Very clear, and easily understandable.. appreciate it!

Your videos are just getting better and better! Keep it up, man!

Best explanation of compression I have ever heard. I work in the CNC machine world and a lot of this relates to how we dial in servos and amplifiers. Come in hot and the machine is in your face and bucking like a bull. Come in slow and easy with ramps and acceleration, it then is as smooth as a baby’s bottom

OMG how many of these compressor videos have I sat thru and not understood or heard the difference. COLT!!!!! you are the MAN!!! when you had me listen to that vocal as you turned down the release time on the 1176 I could so easily hear the vocals getting pushed back into the mix. Also, using COUNTRY Artist for the example was so rare!!! Thanks so much for your work.

absolutely most detailed and most helpful tutorial on youtube that I have ever seen. thanks a lot for this one

Made it to the end baby. Thanks for the amazing content as always!

one of the best videos I’ve seen explaining compression in my short term spent learning, really love this!

Great explanation ! Love your work Colt !

I appreciate everything you do for the sake of educating us newer engineers. You’re videos are thorough and very inspiring. Made it to the end of the video and im happy to be a subscriber

Dude, you did a great job of explaining some good old head techniques in a short KZread video. Learning this craft in the pre-internet days was a whole lot of “what happens if I do this?” And man let me say that compression was the hardest thing for me to understand entirely. You gave 30 years of trial and error and consulting by phone with friends to a lot of people here, for free, in a concise and well instructed video. Also, that chorus is an ear worm, and pop country is not something I enjoy listening to. Good job to you and the artist

For me, one of the best tricks from all KZread vids, Great job master 💥💥🤘🤘🤘

This is the best video I've ever seen on understanding compression. Been getting better for a few years now but this really opened up my understanding. Thank you Colt!

Wow, amazing video! You are an awesome teacher. Been doing this 15 years and learning so much from you. Thanks so much 🙏

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm brand new to production and I love how you quickly cover the basics so that newbies can follow along with the more in depth stuff. Also, I made it to the end.

Yes, yes, yes, Thank you! Happy New Year!

Very good series, perhaps one of the best I´ve seen on YT! Thank you!

One of the most important videos of 2021 I would say. Thanks Colt!

Thank you for explaining compression in the most complete way I've ever heard. You have a real gift for teaching this concept. You made it all crystal clear. Well done Colt.:)

Most valuable point mentioned in the video for me: Set the compressor so at the quietest part, there's no compression. That's HUGE man. I've done weird things automating compressors in the past, which usually leads to uneven, unnatural changes. THANKS COLT! :D

Made it all the way through. Thanks so much for making this very informative video! Learned some new things I hadn’t thought about before. You have a nice vibe too which makes it that much more enjoyable to listen to. All the best to you and take care!

Having watched many dozens of KZread videos explaining compression, I think this must be the best compression tutorial on all of KZread! I fully understand everything you did because you explained it so well and in such detail. To my ears the vocal sounded more pop in style after you applied the third compressor, so I am gonna try that when working with highly dynamic vocals in pop songs. My favourite tip you shared is checking the softest part of the vocal does not get compressed - brilliant idea! Thanks for all the amazing tips!

Great stuff! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. This will help me allot!

Damn straight I made it to the end of the video! So grateful for you taking the time to upload content like this, that’s taken you years to master, and we get it for free!

this content is SO VALUABLE!! thank you so much Colt

Thank you for the hours upon hours of work behind each video you put out! It’s all about helping everyone make good music. Nobody should have secrets. Music is not a competition, it’s an art. I appreciate you sharing your techniques and knowledge!

The best video about compression that I've seen so far. Having those live dial examples it's an eye opener. Thumbs up!

This is the first explanation in the past couple of years that I've been trying to grasp an understanding of compression, that actually made sense to me. Maybe the information you provided isn't exactly new or different than what i've heard before, but the way you executed your explanation and teaching style was everything I needed for something to click, man! Definitely subbed.

You've succesfully gotten me back into using my 1176;s for vocals, had taken a little break there for a minute, thanks!

Your presentations are crystal clear and warm and personable. You are a great find. Can't wait to dive in deeper to your collection of knowledge.

Colt my Dude! That explanation you gave on release time was stellar! I've been doin this for a long time, you know. I watch and listen to a bunch of folks, some famous some not. That was an 1176 tutorial on vocal placement. Much appreciated brutha, as always!

Thanks man! This is the first time I stumbled upon your YT content. I didn't predict that this would be so helpful! I've been using some of these gear for years, and you explained some things that I never realized were so important.

Colt...thank you thank you thank you. Your explanation of compression is the best I've heard.

I really appreciate these in-depth dives, Colt. Thanks!

Made it to the end. Thanks! Reinforced some things I've read by showing them in action with excellent examples and paced just right for me.

I just started out my producing journey and this has helped me so much in demystifying the art of compression. Thanks so much!

Finally compression explained really well and actually using the gear as you play the song...thanks ,love the channel.

Made it to the end. Thank you, thank you! Worth sticking around.

Thanks, CAP! Love your content! Watched to the end!

Hands down some of the best advice I’ve ever heard. As others mentioned, you do FAR more than just throwing recommended settings. Because I found that I’d end up just looking up those settings, putting them in, maybe tweaking a knob or two slightly, and saying I guess that’s good. Now I feel like I can actually experiment and understand what’s happening. Also, what the frik is this song. I make it clear that I don’t care for country (I do acknowledge they have talented artists and hits, just not my style). But this song… I need it on my playlists Thanks man, for real! UPDATE: I read the description (lol) found the artist, and we’re good to go. I was so stuck on finding the song and I didn’t even think to look for the artist profile link

Made it to the end, love your tutorials man. Keep up the good teaching!

Big fan of your stuff man🤘🏼keep’em coming!

This was a very well explained video! Awesome work Colt!

I watched until the end mate! Most informative, many thanks! 🤝

Great stuff, man. I've been digging heavily into the technical side of recording and mixing for the past 6+ years and I've never seen the affect of release time demonstrated. Cool tip. Thanks!

Awesome Colt , man super educative and very honest from you, rare this days , keep it up bro ...happy holidays !!!
