I understand ratio and threshold. Kyle, you are hands down among the best teachers on youtube. You make well structured videos that are easy to understand and cover nothing more or less than what should be covered. We can't praise the quality of your teaching enough!
I will second that. It's not just an info dump, instead, you take the time to explain and then demonstrate what everything sounds like. Which in turn means more clarity and understanding, and less to straight up memorize
The attack is actually how long the compressor takes to achieve the full ratio of compression, not exactly 'how quickly it will act'. It will act the moment the program material passes the threshold. It's important to view this in the right way for shaping the dynamics on a nuanced level, and when using a compressor as a kind of 'timed eq' etc
Well said, Benj. I struggled to find the wording prior to explaining “gain reduction”. My plan is to create a more in-depth video on attack and release. I will borrow your wording if that’s alright, so as to prevent ambiguity and confusion. Thanks!
Two things that make you stand out: 1. How clearly and simply you communicate. 2. The fact you got right to the point of the video rather than giving a 90-second-long introduction. Thank you.
Thanks, Kyle! As per your request: yes, I understand ratio and threshold. Wish to commend you on how well you take us learners through the specific parameters of compression. You anticipate (and appreciate) the issues folk encounter using this tool. Your vids are concise and on point without unnecessary verbiage. Highly recommendable!
Very well articulated, this really clarified clearly how compression works. I now understand treshold and ratio, attack, wet and dry signal, and so much more. Thank you!
Honestly, looked up tons of audio compression related stuff onlione before.. this video is probably the easiest so far for me to kind of grasp. thank you man.
Thanks for the video very clear, I would add to your pedagogy arsenal something about how not to do stuff, or what it would sound if you did too much of it
ya, i understand compression and your vid explains it very well !!!, thanks for not making an hr long vid for 7 min worth of material,......its a win!!!!!!!! please keep em short
i understand ration and threshold. as the volunteer and fixed sound engineer for my parents small church, this has helped me be better and understand sound and mixers.
Well..... about ratios..... you've got 25% "like" rate!! wow.. amazing.... you deserve it... this is very likely the clearest and most consistent explanation on the internet!! Thank you!!
Thanks for this clear explanation of compression. I've been trying to learn how to use compression for about 2 years now, and I feel like I'm just starting to understand how to use it properly. I struggle a lot to hear compression (unless it's exaggerated), and so the visuals of what's happening to my signal are a big help. I don't want to rely on the visuals too often though, or else I'm just mixing with my eyes. I'm sure I'll get better with hearing subtle compression over time, or at least I hope so!
You'll definitely get better with practice, Afterift. I think it's especially helpful to know what each setting does, set an intention of what you want to do with the compressor, and work toward that goal with the various settings. Knowing what you want to do with the compressor BEFORE compressing is very powerful. Good luck! Thanks for watching.
I understand ratio & threshold. Thank you! You speak in a way that I can understand. The only thing I wanted more clarification on was what you meant by the compressor 'recovering' after the release time has elapsed.
Loved the video and learned a lot! Wanted to share that, as a Speech-Language Pathologist, sound is my livelihood. Many people pronounce the word "decibel" as dess-uh-bull ... when in actuality, a decibel is literally one-tenth of a Bell, hence it's properly pronounced dess-uh-bell. Not ragging on you at all. It's a super common mispronunciation. Keep up the great work.

Wow! Thanks, Jeltohn!

Agreed. Great video, very clear. Thank you
he is the best!!!
The only video about compression that I found easy to understand, many thanks!
Thanks, Dávid! Glad it’s helpful!
On god, I didn’t even get it when my professor explained it!!!

Truly, thank you again.
Thank you
You and Michael from in the Mix, are both one of the greatest teachers for this out there
That's some high quality teaching man. Never stop!
Thanks!
Finally, someone made this simple to grasp. Now I understand threshold and ratio. Thank you!
I will use this video to send as a reference for people who don’t know it yet! As always, perfectly clear explanations. Thank you!
Easily one of the best channels on TH-cam. Keep up the great work guys, you are teaching and inspiring the musicians of the future!
Thanks, ALX. Taylor!
Bro, you explained it soooooo perfectly. Thx🎉
Easily one of the best explanations of compression I've come across.
Thanks!

Thanks, Jordan!
Great explanation! Easy to follow and understand.
This is the best explanation and visualisation of how the compression works! Thanks, man!
Excellent. Most videos that cover compression grope around the setting arbitrarily.
i understand ration and threshold. as the volunteer and fixed sound engineer for my parents small church, this has helped me be better and understand sound and mixers.
I understand ratio and thresh hold but now have a visual that ties it all together. These video's are fantastic.

Thanks, Patje!
This gave a better idea of attack and release settings. Still not sure I have a handle on compression, but I keep learning. Thanks!
Clear concise explanation! Thank you!
You helped me understand compressing a lot better. I also now understand the concept of threshold frequencies. Thanks alot
So clear and concise, thank you!! 🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙
Glad to help, Paul! Thanks.
Great video, always explained simply, but effectively
Thank you, Clay!
the only video on youtube that actually helps me understand, great teacher man great teacher, I subscribed after just watchin one of your vids
Thank you, especially for explaining that some compressors have a fixed threshold where you then drive the input signal into them!
Best explanation I've ever seen. I really get it now! Thanks!!!
i understand ratio and threshold. very well explained! thank you
So grateful I stumbled upon your channel! 😊
I'm grateful, too! Thanks, Toni.
