Great work this :!:
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

I'm glad you all liked it! I've got some stuff on reverb and noise gating as well which is pretty helpful, as well as some stuff on the acoustics and the auditory perception of sound which is more interesting than anything else.

I'll type it up next week when I get back from bloc :1:

This has gotta be made a sticky..... Never has this so succinctly and easily been explained to me. I am sure every new producer would love to have one of the most poorly understood effects explained to them.

Nice one !!! I've been reading a lot of tutorials and explanations comments about compression but it always seems a bit blurry. Thanks for wiping out my vision a bit ! ;)

Keep fighting for the good music !

This is one of the most comprehensive yet easy to understand explanations of compression I have seen. You are a champ!
