Compression is the process of lessening the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal. This is done by boosting the quieter signals and attenuating the louder signals. If compression is used correctly and sparingly, it will help your tracks more “consistent”, making them audible throughout the mix. Compression will also help make your overall mix “louder”, because you've dealt with a lot of the peaks in the mix, therefore, you can now push your master a bit louder.

This course will address the advantages and disadvantages of both hardware and software compressors. By understanding their use and how to manage compressors your vocals will stand out from the surrounding instrumentation, your drums and percussion will appear to have a more sustain sound and give guitars a fuller sound. Learn how the various compressor controls affect the audio signal manipulation that is required. You will see and hear the how different compressors affect various instruments and how to apply it to your music creation.
