How to Use Compression | Logic Pro X Compressor Tutorial

You are good at explaining

in school right now and watched a million videos on all audio effects, this one was the best, i can’t wait to be a full time audio engineer

great clear content again :). Where can I find good EDM samples like kicks, claps, hi-hats etc? Can't find in logic... ?

Thanks homie :D

Love this presentation ❤ very informative and down to earth, awesome teacher dude 👍🏾

This video has helped me to finally understand clearly what compression and all the knobs do, thanks!

Great content

Tony Holiday continues to teach me the ways of sound and audio engineering. THANK YOU!

Dude you’re the man! I watched a lot of videos trying to understand compression and you’re explanation was the only one the I understood! Great video, much love ❤️

Damn your videos keep coming in clutch with everything I’m trying to dive deeper into!

Thanks for this great explanation. I do have a question please. Is compression also supposed to boost the low frequencies, or is it strictly for lowering high frequencies? Thanks

Thanks for the video Tony. Great explanation and to the point. Just what I was looking for for some elements of my radio show that I was trying to edit.

your videos have been helpful brother . thank you for these videos

Thanks!

amazing video i finally get it

thanks, always great tutorials for beginners

Hey bro! Thank you so much for sharing! So I have a question, I really couldn’t hear the difference when you turned the compressor on/off…What do I need to do to be able to hear the difference?

Very usefull. Thnx! ;-) and greetings from Poland

Found your video super helpful, as a band (Native Love) we do a bit of our own mixing and compression has always been a little unclear. Thank again.

thank u for this

Just started out with Logic & Music Production in general and am really glad that you're making those video. It helps a lot.
Good job, keep it up!

You’re an awesome teacher

Is compression needed for beats ? Just out of curiosity.

Hey Tony, dumb question: my compressor only shows up as mono, how do I find stereo? Sorry, noob audio engineer here.

being an artist trying to diy this shit is honestly enough to just make me not want it anymore lol.

great video

Thanks! This was very concise, and well-delivered.

Finally a video that explains what a compressor does easy. Thanks for making this.

Nice!

So in conclusion after watching this video I need to just hire a music engineer

🤘🏽👽🛸

This was very helpful thanks man! I have a question I looked at the apple website about the different compressors and I see that the VCA compressor is made for bass guitars. Well I did a subsonic bass using the vs2 I believe and the lower notes sounds good (shake my car lol) but I go a few notes above and you can barely hear these bass notes. Well I used the Platinum Digital and tested the bass again sounds good, now the higher notes actually shake my car, but it’s kinda distorted. Honestly I didn’t know how the compressor actually works when I did this but if the higher notes now are more present that means I did something bad or no? And would you recommend to try the VCA or just adjust the treshold, ratio and attack on the Platinum Digital and try it?
I hope you understood what I’m trying to say, thank you bro!

Very helpful, especially with the tip about presets as a starting point!

💯💯

Good job. 👍

such a smoothy hehe, great video, liking your mic set up there, would e greta for playing piano live. Anyone know what mic stand it is, let me know, great vid. But I still get stuck with combining ratio and gain to figure out what the final out come in db would be? basically volumes

thank you sm for this!!! you are a lifesaver

Thank you 🙏

I appreciate your time and efforts to put out these videos for people like myself, someone who is just getting started in this world! Cheers Buddy :)

Brother i just wanna ask that is it important to compress whole audio?
Or at how much db sound compression is must?

Not gonna lie, after watching 2 times I still don’t understand when something is gonna kick in what it holds on to. Very complicated

Hi, I really don't understand how this compressor works! Can you explain it to me? So what does the treshhold stand for,? when for example its set to -20 , every decibel is cut out , or is it the ratio that reduces the loudness? and the make up gain basically just makes the track louder, right? haha I got probably everything wrong

Awesome tutorial! Thanks a lot!

Compress too much and you end up at your mums!

Hi Tony. I checked out two of your videos. One was on compression and the other one was on 808. Right after that Carlos VillaLobos hit me to let me know about you. Haha...I really enjoy how you explain the process! If you have anything new coming up soon please let me know. Thanks!
