How To Use Compression and Dynamics Processing
Last week, we explored basic EQ principals and nudge your recording project into the mixing phase. Now, as we near the close of this series, it’s time to add some compression.
Compression is one of the most misunderstood elements of audio, so let’s clear up a common misunderstanding right out of the gate. There are two different types of audio compression: dynamic range compression and data rate compression.
This article is going to cover dynamic range compression, which affects the amplitude of a waveform. Data rate compression, on the other hand, affects the size of an audio file.
This is an excerpt from How To Use Compression and Dynamics Processing, originally published by Reverb. Read the full version here.
