i understand the theory of compression, but it still confuses me, like why when i bring the threshold down does it start to become louder and sometimes start peaking, when its supposed to be quieter right?? i mean i havent added gain so why does it do that? its confusing how ppl explain it one way, then the compressor seems to do something completely different... compressors are weird man.

I love compressor and I used it a lot in my recordings since it is very effective tool in maintaining the correct level especially when using mics..but must be adjusted properly to get the best result.

In the compression/no compression debate, I used to hate it, but then once I learned to use it properly and use the right types, I really appreciated how it can enhance a sound. I've heard it used so badly before and that's what put me off so much.
I tend to use it in quite a 'transparent' way and it can work really nicely.

@HiTopProd Wrong, wrong, wrong! You shouldn't question this vid so readily.
Firstly the 'red' on that needle was still below 0dB. Secondly, it was not a software plug-in and most certainly analogue. Analogue distortion can sound pretty nice.
From what I saw, there was never any clipping at any point, digital or otherwise. See that little dark red square above the meter on the left from 0:51 onwards? When that lights up bright red, we're clipping.
Give this guy more credit.

Haha - they turned up the gain until it was hitting red. Brilliant, now add digital distortion (not good) to your drum bus. Idiots!

@crackshotnoodles
that is if you compress the total mix (on the master), but its better to compress by track and only add slight compression on the master.

i agree, too much compression can runi a mix.
it takes time to get to know your cmopressor in and out and to know what gain reduction sounds best for each type of instrument or vocal, i think compressors are something that just shouldnt be used by an amature unless properly tought how to
