A basic compression tutorial. Prepared for in-studio and online classes at Lil' Drummaboy Recordings (Philadelphia, PA) @ LDB10.COM.
It was an absolute pleasure making this video. I love this craft of OURs. By the way, I created a comprehensive Audio Engineering training program that is helping music creators (like you) earn more revenue, expand their careers in the music industry, and increase their demand. It's called 'The Audio Engineering Blueprint'. Here's the link to learn more: theblueprint.samoricoles.com/
Man you are an amazing teacher!!! I finally understand compression! This and your video on EQ are the best on youtube!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I agree
Another gem! After all these years I now understand compression. Cheers!
Me too. I wasn't even going to bother with it on my recordings and now I know that I know what it's for a can see a lot of songs that need it! Thank you Samori.
Man, I am just going to go ahead and hit the subscribe and notification buttons. I am going to incorporate the information that I am getting from you into a track that I am currently working on now. I am dissing m&m (again) a lot in this track as well. I am a 3 time and still current Guinness book record title holder for word's fastest rapper... Rebel XD, since 1987. Thank you, for posting easy to follow videos on things that would other wise seem very complex. I been looking for videos like this.
Rebel XD My pleasure! I’m glad that you got some useful information out of my video. Best of luck on your new track!
@@iamsamori 4sho, and thanks again.
Watching this in 2017 and I must say that this is one of the most in depth explaimations I've come across of compression, you e helped a lot thank you man great video !!!!
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Really appreciate the clear way you explain these concepts. Thank you.
You're welcome, Timothy! I am glad that you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for the in depth tutorials. Really appreciate you

Love your videos! Thank you!
Your a legend bro
I really learnt a lot. Thank you
Cool video. Very useful, my friend. And it was posted on my birthday.
Happy belated birthday! Glad that the video was helpful.
Your tutorials are a pleasure to watch. no stress, no fast forward..Thanks
Dude, your teaching technique has just made this all so clear to me. I used to be dumbfounded by compression and you really have opened the door for me!
Muchos gracias mi amigo!
Andy
I am glad the video helped, Andy! Compression is one of those topics that can be difficult to grasp, especially with all of the parameters to consider. Best of luck with your music and recordings!
Loving this series... This is what we need more of, experienced engineers educated beginners or even those who are just brushing up on the foundations...
I made an account just to subscribe and like your series... Truly Amazing and taking time to do this, wouldn’t be surprised if one of the viewers go on to produce a top 40 hit in the near future!
I subscribed to your channel. As an amateur producer I have learned A LOT from your tutorials! You explain things clearly and I now understand compression and EQ much better than ever before! thank you!
Man I honestly love the way you explain everything from the very beginning , letting people know what everything does and what it means and the way they all come together at the end. Beautiful work bro. We need more people like you. I appreciate it because this are the type of lessons you need to know and you usually have to pay for, but yet you do it for free. Love you Man.
Dude, you're awesome. I know a lot of other engineers would balk at presetting parameters or whatever, but for a beginner, it's a place to start. At least I know what I'm doing and why. I appreciate it, man. Another great vid.
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
after all these years this vid still is a helper for newbies in mixing and using the tools. Thanks also from myself :)
Thank you! Glad that you found it useful!
I was gonna type in a request in the EQ video for fundamentals of compression. Viola a visit to your channel and i find it. You speak slowly, in a smooth calm way that lets all this valuable info just seep right in. Thank you so much Mr Coles.
This video was critical, I didn't know anything about compression. Now I have a good grasp and understanding on how it works. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing these videos! I've struggled with compression (and EQ too..) for years, but now it's all become very clear :)
You are a great teacher, Sir! I'm inspired again, and eternally grateful!
Thank you so much, Johann! I appreciate your kind words. I am glad that you have found my videos helpful. The journey toward better recordings is endless. I, myself, am a perpetual student of the craft. Keep striving, Brother!
All of the other mixing tutorials I've seen, are just people saying to do this or that, and if you don't, then it's wrong. I like how you explain the concepts in detail, and teach us how to do the job the right way.
Full Dynamic Range Compression helps with increasing gain of soft sounds and allowing high sound pressure to be transparent. Need low knee points and low ratios. You did a great job
thanks so much, i`m just starting and i could understand everything
I realize that you posted your EQ and Compression videos years ago. I use a digital BOSS studio so I cannot see the waves as you demonstrate. Still, your definition of terms (such as 'gain' ,'release', etc.) was so incredibly clean and concise that it helped me so very much begin to understand what I was seeing in my studio. You are an amazing teacher with how you present your material! Thank you so much for keeping your videos up. They are very much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! Best of luck with your music!
Thank you so much for your patience and generosity. So well explained, so to the point. Thanks man!
Thank you Samori this was awesome! very grateful!
Thank you for watching, Lawrence! I'm glad that you found my video helpful!
Really well done! Thanks for your work
This is priceless...thank you...
Outstanding tutorial, such clarity and no BS - thanks man
I enjoy watching these videos , there clear and precise and you explain it so well..I feel like I'm in a classroom, well done ! Thx again
your tutorials are great, i was busting my head on how to EQ and Compress and your clips have been really helpful!
You've really helped me so much with your channel man. Thank you so much! I feel much more confident in my productions now
Probably the best video Ive seen on the basics...Great Job...thanks
I watch all your videos
great video. 5 is just a definition of "make up gain", in that gain is not volume. At least per my instructors back in production school in the analog late 90's. I just want to make sure people have clear definitions in context outside of their own studios and with engineers.
“Gain is a measure of the ability of a two port circuit (often an amplifier) to increase the power or amplitude of a signal from the input to the output port by adding energy converted from some power supply to the signal.
Volume usually means the decibel (dB) output of a sound system. That sounds more complicated than it is. Basically, volume is how loud something is after it's been processed. So really, volume = loudness. It's the loudness you hear.
Thanks Mr Haffy 3! These videos are the initial installments of a complete series that you'll be able to check out in the next few months. I hope you're able to utilize the information that I presented.
Thanks Samori great explanation on the topic been trying to understand this for a kool min got it now i just have to apply it thanks for the video and the detailed explanation and hands on 👌
Samori coles you are a godsend
thanks a lot dude, u've made my day.
Thank you Gunzy bee. I'll keep you posted on the next video installments.
Love what your doing man, great teaching. Please keep it up.
Thank you, Joshua Shaffer!
You Sir have changed my life..#RESPECT!!!!!
Much respect back to you, A$$tronautBeatz Official!
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials. Your break the down the explanation to the basics that all concepts are easy to grasp and apply. You deliver Theory and Practice just right. Thanks from Chicago.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Thank you for watching. Glad you find the information useful!
good teacher! thank you for all your vids
Great video on the basics! - just a slight correction though re Ratio. With a ratio of 3:1, you say at around 11:17 - "...any audio that exceeds that threshold, is gonna be reduced by a third of its volume...". The actual reduction will actually be 2 thirds of its volume. A ratio of 3:1 means that for 3 dB over the threshold, only 1 dB will be output. (a gain reduction of 2 dB).
Thanks for pointing this out, RJM W. Certainly meant to say, "to 1/3rd of its volume".
Great video again thank you
Great explanation, thanks!
Thank you for your feedback!
Awesome channel. I really find your information helpful. Thanks!
boom i m done lil bit tq for this help a lot many topics are clear
Glad that you found the video useful!
Thanks for this informative video. Was wondering if you could do a video on the concept of stacked compression or multiple compressors on one instrument on a single track and what settings or techniques you would use for each type of instrument?
Great suggestion! Thank you for watching the video! I'm available for one-on-one coaching to discuss any topic you like. homestudiotutor.com/coaching
Gracias hermano
you explain this soooo well because you understand it best :) cheeeers!!
great video!
thank you Samori,
Greetings from Alexandria/ Egypt

Great video
you are my audio production guru ;-;
WE LOVE YOU SAMORIIII THANK YOUUUU
Love you back, Samar! Glad that you found my video useful!
Another great video, keep up the good work! Also, I notice that you reside in Philly, I'm from Ardmore, Pa. I'll be coming home around June 10, 2017 , maybe we could link and build. I've done a lot of music & video production in the surrounding areas of Philly, awhile back. Continue to elevate... Peace & Blessings!
Nice! Are you back in the area now?
My left headphones seemed to stop working at 15:22 lol. Great video though. Just as amazing as the Basics of EQ. Great job!
thank you for your help ...I'm amateur producer hope to learn from yours videos
seems like compression is the less complex of mixing , thanks for the numbers, will apply during my projects.
You're welcome! I appreciate you watching my videos, Clutch!
Thank you for this!
that was awesome .thx man
Great stuff - Thanks so much.......Malvin Blues Tomlin
you're my mann !!!! best ever
Still usefull in 2020
That is awsome...
Thank you!
Can you make more types of videos like this. Like on saturation, reverb, and other spatial effects
More coming...
@@iamsamori Please Samori... we still waiting on those videos
Are these concepts also applicable to music production that does not involve live instruments, for ex., making music in FL Studio? Thank you, great course.
p995 Thank you! Yes, compression and EQ are relevant whenever you’re mixing audio. So, with music production, you can apply the same concepts. Often in music production, the sounds are pretty high quality, so you just need to ensure that whatever audio processing that you do is necessary.
Thanks for the quick answer, I understand it way better now.
great! but audio cut out around 15 min in 😯
What happened? Is it just me? The audio went off halfway of the video. I tried few times but still the same
I’m not sure. I just checked it and the volume is consistent throughout the video. Are you still having a problem hearing the second half?
Love your videos. You explain things so well. Do you also work in Logic Pro?
Thank you, Lilian. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Working on LPX. If you subscribe, I will keep you posted.
The audio goes off on one side at 15.22 just as the example starts.
Good JOB :)
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
once again ty so mush do you have on line classes
hi there why you have used negative decibels and infinity in the middle of the graph
would that compression recipe be useful for vocals?
I use it for vocals all the time. However, I lean toward a 4:1 ratio on vocals. Try it out and let me know how you feel about the results.
thumbs up
Thank you!
I cant hear anything towards the end of the video.
I need to look into this. I could hear it. Wonder if it's a TH-cam thing?
do you provide free online courses I know this video is old
I am currently developing some online modules. Parts will be free. If you have not already subscribed, do so, and I will keep you posted.
do you have videos relating to Reverb & Delay?
Working on them now. They will be part of an online course that I'm creating. Stay tuned...
@@iamsamori when can i find your online courses please , i love how you explain
This is a really good video, but dude, the audio in your video tutorial is bad. At first it's panned a bit to the left, then after, the left side is cut out. Great video nonetheless, just makes it a bit ironic.
The concept of compression is evil, attack?release? I feel bad for the free frequencies that we're captured by kidnappers, I mean transducers.
Just kidding😁 Thanks for helping
Funny! Glad you found the video helpful!
Very informative! Wish you didn't swallow spit every 3 minutes though lol
