I used to do things with EQ. But the Multiband compressor is where it's at. Still learning and tweaking. Thats why I came to your video and noticed right away that your settings are a lot more suddle then mine. So I might have overdone it. I am using a Shure SM7B with a scarlett interface. So the hardware is actually really good. Just I need to a better feel when I am overdoing it. And how to still get the best sound out.
So from what I understand, on ACX, they say not to use compression, but Peter I have seen where you have said something along the lines of that's mostly for people who don't know what they are doing. I guess the trick is to get your settings nailed down, not over-compress, and roll with it? For projects like audio books specifically.
I have done light multiband compression of scores of audiobooks for years and ACX have never rejected or commented. I think they say "no compression" as they don't want people to submit audio that sounds horrible like squashed 90's trance tracks!! Thanks, much appreciated!

@@Voiceovermasterclass Thank you! And I have taken a few of your coureses through Udemy. Very helpful stuff!
Awesome vid!!! Could you do it also using Audacity or another free software for us beginners ? That'd be really cool :D
so for podcasts we should not compress?
