Mixing loud: Managing your dynamic range using limiters

Publicado 2021-04-26
This tutorial explains how you can gain control over your dynamic range using basic tools included in any DAW. It explains compression and expansion, and some basic audio technical concepts you need to know early on in your music production career to help your ideas have impact.
Once you are comfortable using limiters to reduce the dynamic range of your signal, a world of new options will open up, like compressors, saturation, and clipping. Your mixes and masters will sound more punchy, clear, exciting and loud when you apply these principles.

This is one of the best and most understandable explanations of limiting/compression/expansion I saw so far!
-
Dude. You’re one of the absolute best teachers on YouTube.
-
I wish this was there 10 years ago when I started producing.
-
you was born for this thank you king
-
I love your channel so much, very informative and you explain everything so clearly
-
Very good video! Remember: dynamic is your friend, it is the breathing soul of your music.
-
Finally someone who properly takes the time to explain the base principles behind a confusing concept instead of just demonstrating how they use the concept. Thanks!
-
Great lesson! Nowadays the streaming services have control over loudness, something which gives the artists the chance to not take the life out of their music by overcompressing their creations:)
-
Thank you for explaining fundamental things in such a great way (and for free) !
-
Man, cant even begin to explain how much you helped. Every video is a pure gem✨
-
Your videos are so clear! Eventhough I use a different DAW than Ableton, I still manage to understand all of your lessons. PLEASE keep it going! :)

Now this is what I call a tutorial !!! Heads UP

5:02 I was just looking for this for weeks. And I didn't know what to google. But it is showed on my youtube today. Cant believe that just happened!!!! you are a professor goddamn!!! Keep it going until 3021

I love this because I tend to mix drums loud, but only in peak loudness, mot RMS loudness. You’re the best!
-
It's like I'm back to school but I like the lessons. Thank you!
-
I just subscribed after being recommended your videos for a while but today I checked out your videos and I love that you are covering such a wide variety of topics, this will come in handy because I am working on some unfinished beats and have writers block because I struggle with music theory but I think your videos will help alot 👍
-
thank you for these two videos... the simplest, most conprehensive and precise found!
-
This video really explained a lot for me. Like I got a lot of the stuff that people were talking about but this is one of the few videos that made me see it in a more constructive and efficient way
-
Dude!! You’re videos are insanely helpful. You’re easily the most effective teacher I’ve come across over 6 years of producing.
