The EQ tutorial came out years and years ago i think, but this seems to have been worth the wait. I'm sure most of the people on here have seen this, but it's incredibly useful for beginners or anyone who doesn't understand compression at all.

Should this possibly be added to the bible?... it gives a very simple explanation, and could answer a lot of questions about compression right off the bat.

Deffo saved that, gonna print it off and read it tomorrow.
Compression is high on my list to understand properly.

Cheers, and I love the tune in your sig

much appreciated! i'm proud of it.

and yes, this guide is short and sweet. they seem to phrase things in a very easy to understand way.

this is a really clean, understandable read. thanks for posting! compression is something i really need to get my head around better, this definitely helped a lot.

Page three is where it's at for me.

Informative read, cheers.

Great guide, and I like the look of that compressor. The graphical representation is really useful IMO. Will defo be giving the demo a go

BIG up Johnst, maybe i can use compressors now and know what the hell im doing instead of just compressing things when the little paper clip with eyes on the side of my screen tells me too...

i think this is important/useful enough for a bump, especially considering there's a popular thread about judging songs by their soundcloud waveform.

Yeah very useful guide. I also tried out the compressor they use in the article, its brilliant, I love it

defo gonna read, compression/limiting is the only effect that i've never really understood during the 3 years i've been producing

it's hard to find a good explanation of compression, and this is the easiest/clearest i've found!

dont want to pollute the thread, i didnt read this yet, wish i had found it earlier haha. seems interesting.

just here to say : the biggest leap forward in my understanding of compression, happened when i was able to theoretically differenciate the effect that threshold and ratio had on a sound... what it is that they do... and how is it different...

they are different and i think they are the two most misunderstood functions of the compressor.

i read it somewhere and it unraveled a lot of things i was stoked...

if anyone wants some insight on that i'm tuned in. ill read the text first bc maybe they talk about it..

can't wait to read

thank you dude...i was just actually researching compression today when i was having trouble

Nifty little guide this. Does a good job explaining the basics of the technical side of compression.

So I finally got a handle on ratio after this article.

Which is a big deal. ;D

post whatever other useful compression stuff you have! or put it in a new thread, whichever seems more appropriate.
