Compression Made Easy

Learning how to set up a compressor can be a challenge, but here’s an easy way to find the best setting. First set the release to its fastest possible setting and the ratio to a higher setting than you think you should need, then set the threshold so that there is always some compression. Next listen to the attack, because you have set a fast release it becomes easy to hear the attack. After you have the attack that you want then set the release, followed by the ratio and threshold in that order. The reason that this is helpful is because it allows you to isolate certain elements of what the compressor and set them to give the best possible sound.
