How to hear compression tutorial
This is a very good tutorial on compression from the Kush Audio guy

Jep. I saw that one and I can absolutly recoment it.
This actually helped me a lot. Very clear, and letting the music and effect speak for itself. Sat down and watched the 20 mins like it was nothing.
He’s like the Bob Ross of audio! Very good video.
did I just hear this ass clown* say "micro seconds"?
...or am I the ass clown for thinking compressors work in milliseconds?
*i'm using his self-description here, by the way
Helpful video.
I frequently lean towards using visualisation of some audio process, logical understanding instead of just hearing. Always think that it is some kind of wrong way, but can't help myself. Seeing waveforms, graphical representation of gain reduction is fine, but sometimes it feels disjointed from the sound itself. I know what I want to hear, but don’t know how it should look.
I really like his videos. They are all aimed at learning to hear what you want to do and getting a natural feel for who to use the tools.
I'm normally a person that is very much in support of using visualization to understand things. But, with audio, our ears are so much better than our eyes. The visualization tools that are available or probably even possible are no where near the acuity of our ears.
thanks for posting. this is a very helpful video
That was great. It's easy to understand the effect of attack but much harder to hear the effect of release. The key thing here is : do it at a low volume
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing that @gusgranite 🙏
Also looks like other ‘Bob’ and designs compressors, which are witchcraft
also, now i want to play a rhodes piano. is there a good one on IOS ?
NeoSoul keys. Look no further.
@eross Yep NeoSoul Keys. There is also Electric Vintage and House: Mark I.
Electric Vintage has loads of features & effects. It sounds great. It's sort of somewhere between a Rhodes and a Wurli.
House: Mark I is okay. It sounds 100% Rhodes. But there's a run of notes that are poorly sampled ( A3 to D4 ) ..the tines sound lousy and the key noise is very dull. It makes playing in that area very inconsistent --especially chords. Also, on some of the softer velocity layers you get noise on certain keys. // wish they'd remedy this stuff //
Electric Vintage.
@eross: I can’t comment on their quality, but Korg Module has some options as well
I see you already commented on your, uh, clown-ness, but the answer is both. Some compressors do react in microseconds, some don’t.
That also gave me a start. I usually think of fast attack in multiples of milliseconds - because I'm usually compressing vocals or violin.
But there are other interpretations, such as:
Fast Attack Speed (10 microseconds - 1 millisecond)
Slow Attack Speed (10 to 100 milliseconds)
Fast Release Speed (50 to 100 milliseconds)
Slow Release Speed (2 to 5 seconds)
and I notice that there is a lot of space between 100us and 400us on the Novatron's attack dial:
