First compression video that has actually taught me something, thank you!

[@mixingmadesimple]

That’s great to hear! If there is anything else I can help with, let me know.

[@VitimFig]

THANKS VERY VERY MUCH
I always see tutorials, but pretty often they just show how and what to do but never explain why
I've started producing kinda last month, and i'm a very theoretical and self taught person, theses type of videos help me the most for explaining things that i will use with my own creativity, not copying someothers methods
You're awesome, i'm glad that yt recommended
(Sorry the half-bad english, not my first language)

[@mixingmadesimple]

Thank you! It means a lot. I’ll probably have more sound design stuff in the future.

[@Mattiimateo]

Thank you for making this video, perhaps if you have time, can you make a video explaining multiband Compression using FabFilter’s multiband vst? Thanks in advance

[@mixingmadesimple]

Yep, good idea, I can definitely do that. I'll work on it soon.

[@Mattiimateo]

@@mixingmadesimple thank you 🙏🏻💯

[@VitimFig]

I don't know if theres any sound design related vídeos, i've always find myself using presets and packs, but i kinda wanna know how to produce my own audio

[@mixingmadesimple]

I’d check out Synthorial.
