This is really nice - and rare to hear someone talk concisely and show visual examples. I wish more people would do youtube instructional videos like this.
Would have been the icing on the cake to hear before / after compression on each of the instruments you showed, but you have done a fantastic job - probably one of the best video tutorials I've seen on any subject.
Thank you so much for sharing...your 2 part series has explained compression so well! I hope you can upload some more videos sometime soon! Thanks again!
@divutskiDK If you have the instrumental track, and the original, you can put them simultaneously, then invert one of them. the voice will get isolated. But sometimes it's hard. Some singles come with the instrumental track as a bonus
@divutskiDK there is asmall vsti that actually help with that called kn0ck0ut, do agreta job extracting vocals from tracks, its not perfect but do the work pretty well in some cases
@rav3beats im far from a master at compression however i still get it, the simplest way of putting it is this, if you are trying to make a kick drum sound how you want it, first your gunna eq it, then your gunna move on to compression, basically compression is changing the characteristics of your kick drum, say if you want the tail end to be longer and boomier, or make it shorter and more snappy, compression allows you to do that by making parts of the sound louder or quieter, simple really.
Wow, thanks so much for these tutorials, I've learned a lot. I've been having trouble with compression lately mainly because I don't understand it. I pretty was using it as a clutch, like you said not to do. This was very helpful thank you.

Sorry. Not really possible. It's like trying to remove the salt from your soup.
