@roundfaceproductionz A compressor is a tool to help smooth out audio track levels. So it makes the loud bits get quieter while leaving the quiet bits alone. If you just turned the track up, you've still got the problem that some of the track is too loud and some is too quiet. Make up gain is there to compensate for the fact that the compressor lowers the average level of the track. Don't be tempted to use it to adjust the level of the track in the mix, just compensate.

Why is compression needed when you only gonna turn up the gain on the compressor anyway ? excuse the stupid question

@kronier I personally like 2bus sidechained compression if any. But yeah, I generally will advise a mix engineer to do no more than 2 dB of redux.

If you want to know a threshold value to start, just look at the peak of your track and start from there.
