    Fantastic video! Perfect example of "don't bore us . . . get to the chorus".
  • @mikedonovan4768
    Another great video, and thanks for the examples showing the effects of the controls in real time. You're a great teacher ! 👍
  • @DrKaoliN
    Excellent explanation of all the compressor types!
  • @brunoteixeira5912
    Really great resume with effective demonstrations as always! Even to me, after 3 years of my restart into the mixing world, felt really amazing to recap and learn about what each of the compressor types can offer! Thanks a lot man 🙏
  • @anissteevan6676
    Best explanation ever of different types of compressors ever
  • @plasmaflow1
    Thank you for an excellent video demystifying the very complex nature of use of compressors in the audio signal path. Please continue to create these videos for people like me who do well with video instruction as opposed to reading manuals. Your presentations are current, clear, and concise.
  • @rorybaker5799
    I heard a pedal refer to a dial that compresses the attack? What does that mean?
  • @Lillylafrog
    Maybe I shouldn't have started with compression.. I can hardly hear it T-T great explanations tho, I'll have to come back lol
