I used to use compressors on vocals and instruments because thought it was a cool producer-type thing to do. It made the audio sound louder, so it seemed like a plus. But I didn't really know what they did... This is a mixing tutorial covering the basics of audio compression and how to use a compressor. I made this mainly to help visualize the threshold and ratio Instructions: press space key, left/right arrow keys, or tap left/right on the screen to navigate. Press up arrow to jump to a desired slide. Index: - Overview & dynamics (slides 1–4) - Input signal (slide 5) - Threshold (slides 6–12) - Limiting (slide 13) - Ratio (slides 14–22) - Attack (slides 23–25) - Release (slides 26–27) - Output gain (slides 28–30) - Input gain & gain staging (slide 31) - Conclusion (slides 32–34) all coding, art, and music by me :)
