Wat does the Peak and RMS under the Compressor threshold do?

[drewpearsonmusic]

@JMO2000XL check out 1:35 of the 2nd part of this video.

funny that despite you being an engineer you didnt notice before you uploaded this that no audio comes out of the right channel and the level drops during the powerpoint presentation. i better not watch any of your videos about panning/mixing ;D

[drewpearsonmusic]

indeed sir, indeed. I recorded the audio directly into the presentation. It was a mono mic and the program only records in stereo so the recording is only on one side. I thought about pulling the movie into logic, panning up the middle and re-exporting, but I ran out of time. I assure you the panning tutorial will be top notch :)

or 12 divided by 4 is 3. This guy knows his shit. Good job man. Do you have samples of your mixes?

[drewpearsonmusic]

i admit I'm not the best at math. I don't have a site with any of my mixes (I probably should get on that), but some recent projects I was the recording engineer on were:

"Say" - One Republic

"You're so Gay" - Katy Perry

"Love Today" - Mika

I have only been the mix engineer on a few of my own projects, nothing major.

Thanks for watching

great video thanks man

@JMO2000XL Hay bro Peak compression means the compressor is listening to the peaks in a sound and when the signal reaches the threshold the compressor is turned on whilst that volume is maintained. RMS compression means your compressor is working out the average volume of the track the compressors on and applying compression softly throughout if the average volume exceeds the threshold. (its good for mastering.) Hope this helped. Check my channel if you need more help. Thanks

wow

now i understand why i have to learn math in school

[jazzyizzy]

Why are none of these videos targetted at idiots like me, first things first, WHERE DO I FIND THE COMPRESSOR?!?!?!?!

[videosongman]

Thanks for explaining the functions of compression. Now I know what to look for when I "attempt" to play with it in logic. =)

[mbot48]

This is one of thee best tutorials i could find....Thanks a lot. Do you think you could do an overview of the type of compressors? ie: Platinum, Class A_R?

[nativeclan]

Thanks, I needed this tutorial.

[gwencharlotte]

I've got a question about the compressor presets please, for my sub bass (which is from 40Hz to 100Hz) what compressor preset you would advice me to put ?? please. I put randomly "opto bass", but I don't understand the difference between Opto, platinum,VCA, type u and type r please???
