How To Use A Compressor – Compression 101 from Sonic Sense<\/a>: “A compressor is a piece of equipment that you\u2019ll find in every studio across the world, so it\u2019s important to understand what it is and when to use it. The primary function of a compressor is to reduce dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference in level between the quietest and loudest parts of a track or mix. In certain genres like classical or jazz, these dynamics are usually unchanged; whereas in Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll, Pop, and Hip Hop, compression is typically used more liberally on the individual tracks as well as the entire mix.<\/p>\n While compression can provide great benefits to an audio track or mix, when overused, it can hurt the track as much as it could have helped it. Over-compression can leave a track sounding lifeless, non-engaging, or buried in the mix.<\/p>\n With this in mind, let\u2019s explore the basic functions of a compressor and a few starting points that will help you find what works best for your application.
