[TheOfficialHypervolt]

you are awesome man, exactly what i've been looking for.

[01hassall]

Veryyy usefull 

[Afewdollarsmore1]

[rosscairns95]

[Rumil20]

ME GUSTA

[TheWoozybear]

Thanks alot, looking forward to learning more from you. 

[ProgHouseSam]

great tutorial, didnt know that ray romano could use fl studio

lol jokes

[alldini]

your voice has to much of middle

[the5thlegend]

LOL this dude sounds like kermit the frog...

[Letsgetbleepedtonite]

unbelieveble man great at explaining :)

[luigi1098]

i'm so happy i found this channel.. I needed to learn about compression a bit more

[DuhAprilFool]

LOL @ 3:20 !!

[Raymi951]

@DuhAprilFool ?? I dont see anything funny

[alexkamrock]

im so confused, i understand the eq, but the compressor whats the point of it , what does it do? anyone know where i can learn the basics, what an envelope is, what a threshold is, like explained to a complete beginner in music production.

[OneTheOnlyOne]

@alexkamrock Envelope I Think Is The Volume. I Really Dont See The Point In Compression, I Guess Its Supposed To Make Your Track Sound Together Like Smushed Together. Idk. I Dont Use Compression And My Beats Sound Good.

[DJAizakku]

@OneTheOnlyOne: Well have fun destroying speakers and amps. :P

[ACEMUZIQ]

REAL TA;L!!!.....U ABOUT TO MAKE EVERY PRODUCER IN THE MIDWEST MAKIN BEATS ON FRUITY LOOPS HATE ME....CAUSE THIS IS GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IM FOCUSED!

[StephonST]

@ACEMUZIQ Lol.. got your tracks posted up somewhere

[rzimmer1]

awesome vids great tutorials thanks for sharing. i subbed and liked

[sanderolsen]

Just a tip for everybody!

cut the lower freq in the mastering channel below 60-30 as it cuts away the unnecessary freq so it sounds smoother and better.

[FruityLoopsHelp]

Check out my videos if you've just started on fl studio, they're very helpfull!

[Alu142]

shouldnt you turn off fruity limiter?

[pkConda]

great video this was helpful! im considering both ableton and fl studio (for external instruments). you can unsterdant my indecision, maybe? :P

any tips?

[WJWProductionz]

might be just me, but i hear absolutely no difference at all with those effects :/

[Arnadath]

Really helpfull vid.

You should also remember that the dB distribution in the EQ should be also proportional to the pitch of the sound. High pitched sounds, sound a lot higher than equal dB low sounds. Compare the distance to which you can hear a 10kHz sound an an 400 Hz one.

[yunglinq]

excellent tutorial....SN; 3:20 (no homo moment)

[oo77i]

This has actually helped me academically as well as beat making.You explained it better than some of my teachers lol.Thanks.

[MrTwistly]

good tut!

[13BEAST666]

Finally, a tutorial that makes sense. Thank you very much!

[dotcombatgames]

i never thought it mattered if you had compression first or eq first, i guess that makes sense

[TechnosaurMusic]

Great tutorial. :D Guess this wasn't what I was looking for in enhancement, but at least I learned something very important.

[RizzoAstronama]

Thank you sooo much you finally helped understand what each compression knob does instead of just giving me setting to use Thank you so much

[PublicNoiseAZ]

Im still confused tho. How come your doing it in the master channel, i got told never to touch that. Can someone help please, I put reverb or any plugin to get the sound that i want for my melody or or percussion, but i still get dull sound,

[sheebob1]

great tutorial...i understand whats going on and why. but how come so many people say not to add compression or EQ on the master channel?? especially in dubstep...im a true beginner but pickin things up real quick..LOVE IT !!!

[kersitie]

your videos are great and they help its just your voice makes me so sleepy lol

[Tozzywozzy]

Very very informative and you explained it very well for me to understand. Looking forward to applying your techniques to my work. Thank you very much! :)

[moonsoonmenu]

Thank you :D thanks to your tutorial I was able to use compression on my 49th rap beat. Check it out and see what you helped create :D

[gerardtrees1]

I like your tuts man!

[Darkozl]

DEFINITION AND SPARKLE

[angellusdark]

sounds great thank u so much i really wanted to know about it thank u so much =D

[DigitalAffliction]

I watched this tutorial ... its pretty good but the thing i still cannot understand is ... WHAT IS THE COMPRESSiOn ... and why is it necessary ... why is it so useful ?

[anythingfortrance]

@DigitalAffliction it keeps your sounds in safe area. So the output of the audio will sounds more clear, and Compression is one of the most important aspect of audio engineering and mixing

[hiphoplivs]

hey do you have a tutorial on sampling music for hip hop beats?

[QTore]

THANK U!

[dejansmajli]

Very good tutorial

[sten360]

Great tutorial man, thanks! Even tho I know how and why to use compressors and EQ, this still gave me some new information on how they work exactly.

[joh04667]

Hey man, really impressed with your vids! i love how you explain in depth how the plugin effects the sound. i was baffled by compressors until i watched this! thanks alot man, keep up the good work!

[javiixJ]

Woow! One of the best tutorials around YT! Thx a LOT! :D

[leosntas]

Enough with the academic discussion.Thank you teacher

[isreal95]

a problem im having is that my vocals will have peeks like if a say something with a T or something and yes i have a pop filter but its still very loud and harsh on the ears... when i try to compress it the whole track is compressed... do u have any advice?

[inurfacez10]

nice man ... very educating ... lemme try some compression.

[Allplussomeminus]

VERY HELPFUL! You're a good teacher... Very simplified tutorial without cluttery terminology.

[bytesize]

Great tutorial, I learned a lot... You have a great way of teaching that's easy to understand. Though I don't do a lot of the stuff in this tutorial, it just goes to show there is no specific "correct" way to mixing, as long as it sounds good and works for you! I will definitely try these tips out. Thanks a lot!

[soldat182]

hey man,

love your vids,

could you possibly tell how i could get the kinda drum sound which is on this track: /watch?v=RPha5bpFeyI

[DJCronxx]

never put an EQ after a Compressor

[TendaiD8]

@DJCronxx why?

[JDeMuse]

you should be a teacher.

[VT4R4]

wow now i knw what that plugin does

[anonimousrel]

I have so bad ears, that I didn't hear a difference =(.

[Hyrtsi]

@anonimousrel use headphones. then you'll hear easier!

[JDeMuse]

@Hyrtsi true.

[HybridDragons]

@anonimousrel This could be due to youtube fuck**g up the sound quality as they ALWAYS do.

[snowflake387]

Great job ! Nice explaining, simple and understandable :) Thumbs Up!

[MrMarcusss]

Why would you compress your master? And why didn't you set a EQ on the snare channel

[prince170591]

but if i use it, i don't get nothing why?

[somepunktookmyname]

but wont the limiter you have at the bottom FX slot on the masterchannel interfere with the compressor and eq?

[DJVORTECX]

phhh man i should of done better on my maths in school !!!

[patdel92]

why dont you use the eq and compression on each single instrument??

[eric892892]

Fabuloso, felicitaciones desde Peru.

[weldjdida]

Thanx a lot fo the video :)

[frostfuzz]

Wow this was extremely helpful thanks!!

[paynee89]

Yeah, only watched it for the compression which was very well explained so good job!

[JSonyMusik]

[Crazyflasher10]

[Alvinobeat27]

[vodka308]

[typischanders]

Great tutorial!

Big up from Holland!

[Hazy804]

but what does the compressor do

[truegamer4ever]

Thanks that helped all I have to do now is just remember.

[NewOneBeats]

Thanks very helpful.

[MeghanMonroe1]

Thank you. Very descriptive video. Just what I was looking for.

[VPMusiconline]

How come you did it all in the master channel?

[bcdrummer]

finally i understand how the compressor works IN DEPTH. great tutorial man!

[warrentini]

very descriptive tutorial great for teaching me use of the effect, but i still dont understand what the compressor does to the sound exactly, and how would i evnelope and trigger these effects in the song? ive been making hip hop beats for about a year now and im trying to get into more of an electro house kind of deal. help would be much appreciated.

[mtl47]

it compresses d freq. so it won't go over whatever u set it up 2. for example if u have a person talking & then that person starts screaming obviously u r gonna hear a big difference on d volume. But if u compress it whenever d person scream it's not gonna blow ur head cuz d freq stays below whatever u set it up 2... that's roughly what a compressor does...

[PillsHeeur]

Good analogy. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. In technical terms, you are reducing the range between the loudest and quietest sounds, essentially making your song/beat sound more rounded and equal.

[BruBoyz]

@mtl47 Thanks Man I was wondering what compresion was

[FlexxArtist]

@mtl47 That basic definition really helped me out.

[heretiquemusic]

Excellent tutorial, just what I was looking for. Very descriptive and the information is very clear... thanks a lot.

[munchyful]

suscribed. you're great.

[quickflash02]

Thaaaank youuuuuuuuuu ssooooo muuuucch!

exactly what i was looking for. very detailed tutorial. very good =D

[Dar1gaaz]

well done!

Thanks

[PrimeLoops]

Good stuff - Hope it helped!

[Dar1gaaz]

very well done !

Thank you

[skjeggy]

Great tutorial, clear and effective, but i still wonder what it means to compress something. Credz for the HD quality btw.

[LoksVassago]

To compress audio based on gain is to dynamically reduce or increase volume based on the current peak volume of the input track. Generally it's decrease. For instance, a very loud instrument may be so loud that its sound is becoming too harsh and "square", therefore you use a compressor so that whenever the volume gets too loud to sound good it becomes reduced in an appropriate manner.

[mexboiii]

awesome tutorial man!

[djshocka2007]

thanks alot 4 this, i keep coming bk 2 revise this!!

cheers

[PrimeLoops]

Hope its been helpful!

[stansarproductionz]

Really great, how long did it take you to get fully the hang of compression + eq?

[PrimeLoops]

practise makes perfect ;)

[patdel92]

@PrimeLoops that is tru, but i think he ment how LONG did it take, because tahts my question too im new with these

[SRLbeatz]

If i used fruity loops id really appreciate you sharing your knowlege. that would be really helpful. Check me out though and let me know what you think.

[stylakidd]

i am so puzzled!.. why do u get such low views... your videos are great! definitely under-rated

[Zyy920]

It's good that the audio of this video is clear. It's a very well done tutorial, thanks

[PrimeLoops]

Thanks! ;)
