  1. Thank you. I feel a bit uncertain about compression. Sometimes I can make it do what I want, other times not really. So it's good for me to listen to your advice.

  2. Something that gave me trouble early on was the interaction between volume automation and compression. There are cases where you want the volume automation before the compression. You mentioned clip automation for vocals which I think of as getting the compressor tone to be more uniformly applied to the vocal. In most other cases, I apply volume automation after compression since a couple of db of glue compression often does most of the work to get an instrument to sit well in the mix across sections of a song.

  3. skipped new ‘challenge vid’ uploads by some other big yt producers when i saw this pop up 😊 best practical advice, tips etc… of any YT producer channel imho, thx for all ur hard work! 👊🎶🎹✨

  4. Would love to see a compressor comparison deep dive video explaining where each different compressor is typically used based on a specific application or sound/genre, with also your personal go-to’s and recommendations!

  5. 6. Compressing your main elements with a fast attack. I don't know a faster recipe for an unintelligible, buried lead vocal than this. Using a slower attack REALLY goes a long way for opening up sources and sending them up front, where they need to be. I prefer a faster attack for background vocals, myself. 😀

  6. Leveling out the vocal is the #1 way to get the best results out of a compressor but, oddly enough, I rarely ever do it. And it never fails, I regret not doing it EVERY single time.

  7. Thank you for helping elevate my production to the next level. I'm an independent artist & I self produce all my own work. I'm releasing an album this month & your channel really helped me level up my production from my last album 🙂
