After This, There's No Excuse To Butcher Compression in Your Mix
May 01, 2025After hearing this... there's no reason to slaughter your compression!
You’ve probably watched a dozen videos trying to explain compression—
Attack, release, ratios, threshold, ADSR curves… all the textbook stuff.
And that matters.
But it’s not what actually helps you hear compression.
If you’ve been here before, you know what I always say:
Nothing in mixing matters without context.
Here’s the truth:
None of that technical knowledge means anything if you don’t know what compression is supposed to sound or feel like in a mix.
As a pro mixer, I’ll tell you straight—
Compression isn’t just numbers. It’s a feeling.
đź‘‚ In this video, I’ll show you what nobody else is:
âś… How the pros actually hear compression
âś… How to know when it’s too much, too little, or just right
âś… How to train your ears to spot that perfect sweet spot
Because if you can’t feel it, you’ll stay stuck in that loop:
“I get how it works… but I still don’t know if I’m doing it right.”
I’ll break it all down—from drums and vocals to bass and guitars—
And by the end, you won’t just understand compression…
You’ll hear it. Confidently.
No more butchering your tracks with over-compression or lifeless tone!
