Compression

[Bitfiend]

Well i'm gonna post it.
training on the use and settings of compression in every possible situation. A VST, audio file, kick drum, etc.
As you well know, Jesse, I am completely clueless when it comes to compression......

This will be at the top of the list, one of the most misunderstood aspects of mixing in my book.

HA-HA, listen just cause i had the release ALL the way up...........sheesh....

but seriously, I couldn't agree more!

what compression settings u use to make kick samples more contained and not pop out of the speakers?

I fast attack can help this as it tames the start of the kick. A longer release will also contain the sustain of the kick so it depends on where the issue is.
