Arg...a video about compression...that is totally OVER compressed. Dude you are killing your audience, blowing ears out, and potentially inspiring hopeful audio engineers to do exactly the WRONG thing with compression. Compression compression compression...arg....without a pop filter and your compression settings...your "radio" voice is a blaring, harsh, transient mess. Turn down the fricken ratio and slow your attack!
Wow, that sounds like a bad example, right from the start - "Hi, here's how NOT to compress your voice, now I'll show you how to make it as crappy as this..."
Yo. Grasshopper. You seem to have overlooked the three most important PHYSICAL items...things you need for podcasting BEFORE you jump into technical stuff. Did you know that #1: You are not even using the right mic? You need a condenser mic. A live performance mic is not at ALL appropriate for podcasting. It is used for long distances. When you are in an enclosed space, this does not suffice. #2: No pop-screen filter in front of your mic? BIG mistake. And, #3: Get some headphones.
@McIntec Uhhh...actually, I don't have to consider something that is not true in the first place. I know what types of microphones are used in what settings, and why. I'm not as uneducated as you would wish for me to look, in light of your comment that makes absolutely no sense, and has nothing to back up such a claim. If you simply look up "microphones" on Wikipedia, the knowledge is there, not to mention all over the internet, and quite readily available for your learning experience. RESEARCH.
A gate does not raise the level of a signal until it reaches a certain level. It does the exact opposite. He seems to be describing a limiter. How can I take a tutorial about compression seriously when it's performed by someone who not only doesn't know the difference between a gate and a limiter, but also can't even achieve a good sounding compression on his own voice?
Dude Mutliband Compression is totally different from SS compressions or optical compression.. you are giving very bad info to ppl...and tube compression gives you a more rich sound..SS compression doesn't.. WOW radio techs are fools..you have no clue what a gate is LOL

His information 100% correct. People who disagree have not spent a day at areal Radio station studio. Jason is a pro. I use a similar setup, myself. Music sounds much better, when compressed correctly.
You have pretty good explainations..... does this technique work for distorted guitar? I wanted to filter my raw guitar before I put it in the mix... I did a simple bandpass filter to get rid of some noise, then de-ess on 2,3,4 khz... is taht too much De-ess? It sounds pretty good I think but there is still some noise towards the high end. I was thinking about doing another EQ, then putting it thru a multi-band compressor, limiter, then noise gate in taht order. Is that a good technique?
Sometimes dynamic mics are used with compressors. It all depends on what kind of sound you want to achieve. The studio that I work in (Broken Wave Studio) often do this.
@Codyman1071 Your dead wrong, a 57 going through an 1176 is the most familiar sound you know, basically 90% of the guitars youve heard over the last 30 years is exactly that, a dynamic with a FET comp.
when will people learn when your shit stop trying to teach

@flowerdove2168 you have to consider, not all radio stations use condenser mic's.

OVER COMPRESSED. NEVER try to teach ANYONE compression unless you get it right.
I refuse to watch the rest of this tutorial for fear you'll blow my head off. I normally don't dislike videos on youtube but you sir have earned it.

@trancecrafter Agreed with TC :)
I suck with knowledge of compression, even as a producer and DJ... But I can hear that this video won't help me with squat all. Sorry m8

what are you using for the compression? If I don't have a mixing board can I still do it? maybe with a VST plugin?

@HakerzTM I was using Sam Broadcaster for the compression.

Letting this guy loose in a studio is like letting a rhino loose in a china shop ...
This "radio voice" is severely saturated at one or more stage and in studio monitors they sound like ...
well, thanks for the laugh!

They might....but I promise you they don't use ipod headphones as audio monitoring.

They do not use that kind of dynamic mic like you got there.
They are always using the Shure Sm7b in broadcasting.

That's actually not true. Many poeple that perform live use Dynamic mics and they go through compression.
