In our series of videos will look at some common compression parameters, so you can understand how to optimize your compressor, for whatever thing you're working with.
Well, this is not meant to be an exhaustive list of parameters it does cover. The main parameters found in fully adjustable hardware and software compressors.
It's a good idea to develop some mastery over the individual parameters, so that you can tailor compression to suit your particular music and taste. When you work with compressors you'll understand that in the end, all the parameters interact with each other. So, no single parameter is more important than the others, and adjustment to one will likely have an effect on the behavior of the others.
Remember, it takes time to learn compression effectively, in part because it takes time to learn to hear the effect of compression well. I'll tell you a few examples of the sound a compress
