    Wow, this is just excellent. In 45 minutes, you can find out how much you know, *really* know (everything should be pretty familiar) and you can learn some new techniques for doing things you already understand. But, I wonder how many people really understand saturation. It works by *distributing* some of the transient energy (the peaks) as upper harmonics. That's why the peak of a saturated signal is lower but the sound actually seems louder: it is "louder" in the sense that the RMS level has been increased at the "expense" of the transient level. Now, there are many, many kinds of saturation. Even clipping is essentially just saturation (unless you get rid of the aliased harmonics with high-degree over-sampling). Even the tape-machine emulations achieve their "compression" through what is essentially saturation (you lose peak energy but get it back as harmonics). And, of course, taken to the extreme, saturation becomes audible as distortion (instead of that "warm," louder sound).

      "It works by distributing some of the transient energy (the peaks) as upper harmonics. " that is a fantastic way to think about it!! that actually makes it so clear and concise. thanks for that.

  • @migibeats104
    @migibeats104 6 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    I liked how he explained that the use of compression is to even out the levels in live recorded audio and then how it relates to sampled music/midi where fader levels could simply deal with that issue but compression could shape the sound of the sample or could be used to add more or less attack thereby controlling the bottom----a question I always had-----thanks for this!

    • @briancase6180
      @briancase6180 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, and he *showed* a real, useful example of serial compression and why you would choose different compressors (including a tape-machine emulation to achieve compression instead of thinking of it only as adding saturation).

    @annother3350 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This was good. One thing ive learnt the hard way - if you eq a kick before compression, don't ever touch that eq without checking the compression is ok afterwards. Better still put another eq after the compressor.

    • @TraxtasyMedia
      @TraxtasyMedia 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep.
      I always EQ FIRST before doing anything else.
      when it sounds fine, I gate it, if the gate fits, than I put a compressor on it.

    Intersample Peaks only occur when bouncing to mp3 for example. If you export to wav then there are no intersample peaks so it doesn't matter how loud you bounce your track for the mastering engineer as long as you don't clip.

    My question is about the automations. Should I add all my reverb, filter, panning in the production before I bounce audio? Or should I do the processing on the audio?

    @GingerDrums 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Loads of good information. The audio levels are not matched at all, so he is adding about 2db which does not make for a good objective comparison. Always volume match your plugins when you mix to avoid falling in the loudness trap!

    Question: Anyone know a great alternative to Black Box? Would iZotope's exciter working in a similar way, considering it has "tape saturation" options? :)

    • @chriskalbacher5838
      @chriskalbacher5838 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exciters pretty good, you could really use any saturation plugin, ableton has a good setting in its stock saturator called "a bit warmer" idk about other daws tho. Exciters dope tho cause you can change the type of saturation for each band of the frequency spectrum between tape or even diode like on that black box
