Tracking Tutorial: Emulating Compression

[noooly]

great idea! but when you need to adjust trashold or knee, you have to basically rewrite all the volume commands :D

Nice video. You can use volume slide instead of set volume to get a more smooth volume change. Also, the if you look at the volume envelope when doing real side-chain compression, you can see that the volume stays low for longer, because the kick has some length. It's almost as if the sound being compressed becomes louder on the upbeat.

I thought it sounded like a gated compression, noise or volume gate.

nice effect.

was obvious but still love it

Oh.. Those samples are just awesome! Mind to upload them somewhere? I'll ofcourse give credits to its originally owner.

Sorry, I have no idea where to get them. Neither the song nor the video is mine. I just uploaded the video as thought it would be helpful for the tracker community. Learn the tricks of the trade and make awesome music! :)

Sidechain compression w/o compressor :)

[Loony69]

this is called "bass ducking", more an effect type of compression, nice example anyway...

[friktionn]

is this an original composition? I'd like to hear the full version.

I'm pretty sure it's original. I've never seen Strobe, the creator of this video, ever do a cover before. I don't know the name or where to get this song though. A good place to check if you don't mind listening through many songs is The Mod Archive. Search for the artist Strobe there. I think they have about 40 of his tracks.
