Compression Walkthrough

Are you feeling lost, insecure or frustrated because you're not getting the sound you want?. 

It may be due to several reasons. 

1. You don't know what is compression and how it works which leads you to avoid using this powerful tool on your mixes. 

2. You may tweaking knobs without a clear intention/purpose 

3. You can't feel the effect of compression, therefore you end up squashing too much the dynamic range of your tracks

4. You may be using default presets without changing the settings to your needs what leads to bad quality sound. 

I have created this easy to read and follow compression walkthrough guide including images that will help you to not only understand and start using compression from scratch, but also to get the results you're looking for based on your track goals and needs.

These are the topics i will be covering inside!!

2. What are its main parameters and how to use them?

3. Type of compressors, where i use each one and why + PRO tips.

4. 10 Free Compressor VSTs + download links (Mac OS and Windows X).
