How to remember compression basics...
Some other definitions:
1. If you see 'knee' on your compressor, That's how fast, (once the compressor has made it through it's 'attack' stage), it turns down. 'soft' knee is like a person gently turning the volume down, 'hard' is a violently turned down volume knob.
2. Peak vs. RMS - Very simply put, Peak compression will grab audio content faster than RMS. Peak looks to specific leaps in volume, where RMS is more of an average compression that is not only easier on the ears, but smoother and more transparent. Use Peak compression for more percussive content, and RMS for audio stuff that requires a gentler hand.
3. 'Auto Gain' or 'Makeup Gain' - Like I say at the end of the video, Compression is actually allowing you to turn up the overall volume of the material now that the pesky leaps in volume, or 'transients' are taken care of. 'Auto Gain' will try to do this automatically. You'll probably still need to adjust it though.
