This is a nice wee video Iv done, to help all of you out there struggling with compression. I explain what a compressor is, how it works, the parameters you need to understand, and various ways and techniques of using one to achieve a variety of results, from Mixing, shaping sounds, sidechaining to FX. Hope its of good use.

    nice andrew. great approaches to using an ESSENTIAL tool for electronic musicians. sometimes a little eq b4/after a limiter is enough to get the sound where it needs to go. also the idea with the nasty drumloop gating the signal. it is also interesting to throw a gate effect in on the inaudible sidechain input loop and play with different gate syncopations on the ducked track. thanks for your videos... and that siren in the bgd... i think they are looking for you. lmao

    ps. another cool thing ppl forget. you CAN use a MULTIBAND compressor (Creatively compressing). very nice results ;)
