Compression & Dynamics Processing Tips
This is part 3 of my video series on dynamics processing. This one focuses on general tips for learning to use dynamics processing. Controlling dynamics and using compressors and limiters can be a bit tricky when you're first starting out, and my aim with these is to help people grasp the concepts faster so that they can use these tools by ear rather than trying to copy formulas that they saw someone use online.
If you're still learning this stuff I recommend watching these videos in order:

Part 4:
