If you have seen countless videos explaining how a compressor works but you’d rather someone explained why to use a compressor then this video might help.
For the novices out there explaining compression by explaining what the controls do isn’t the most important thing, the issue is more often about understanding what using this compressor might achieve rather than what a particular control does.
In this premium video tutorial Julian looks at two distinct uses a compressor can be put to. In this case he uses an Avid Pro Compressor but any compressor could be used in its place. The important thing is that the parameters have been left almost completely alone in their default positions and it is being used to stop loud sections from getting too loud or to create movement and “groove” on rhythmic material.
