WHAT ARE THE 3 VARIABLES IN A FULLY PARAMETRIC EQ? FREQUENCY

BAND WIDTH / Q VALUE

DB BOOST OR CUT

LETS LOOK AT THE LOGIC EQ TO DEMONSTRATE.

1. FREQUENCY, 2. BANDWIDTH / Q FACTOR, 3. DB BOOST / CUT

DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS HAVE DIFFERENT ACTIVE FREQUENCIES. BY UNDERSTANDING THIS YOU CAN CUT OR REDUCE INACTIVE FREQUENCIES. THIS WILL GIVE YOU MORE HEADROOM IN YOUR MIX? BECAUSE BY REDUCING GAIN OR DB LEVEL OF A FREQUENCY YOU ARE DECREASING THE OVERALL VOLUME OF YOU MIX.

COMPRESSION THRESHHOLD AND MAKE UP GAIN

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO, I THINK, WHICH GIVES A VERY CLEAR EXPLANATION, WITH EXAMPLES OF WHAT THESE TERMS MEAN

COMPRESSION THRESHOLD AND OUTPUT/MAKE UP GAIN

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO, I THINK, WHICH GIVES A VERY CLEAR EXPLANATION, WITH EXAMPLES OF WHAT THESE TERMS MEAN

COMPRESSION THRESHOLD AND OUTPUT/MAKE UP GAIN

I WILL COME BACK TO WHAT WE MEAN BY THE COMPRESSION RATIO

COMPRESSION RATIO

COMPRESSION RATIO
IN LAYMANS TERM THE COMPRESSION RATIO INDICATES HOW SEVERELY THE AUDIO FILE IS COMPRESSED

COMPRESSION RATIO
IN LAYMANS TERM THE COMPRESSION RATIO INDICATES HOW SEVERELY THE AUDIO FILE IS COMPRESSED EG; AT A LOW RATIO SUCH AS 2:1 ANY AUDIO SIGNAL ABOVE THE THRESHOLD IS GENTLY REDUCED.

COMPRESSION RATIO
IN LAYMANS TERM THE COMPRESSION RATIO INDICATES HOW SEVERELY THE AUDIO FILE IS COMPRESSED EG; AT A LOW RATIO SUCH AS 2:1 ANY AUDIO SIGNAL ABOVE THE THRESHOLD IS GENTLY REDUCED. AT HIGHER RATIOS SUCH AS 10:1 OR HIGHER SIGNAL ABOVE THE THRESHOLD IS SMACKED DOWN HARD.

COMPRESSION RATIO
IN LAYMANS TERM THE COMPRESSION RATIO INDICATES HOW SEVERELY THE AUDIO FILE IS COMPRESSED EG; AT A LOW RATIO SUCH AS 2:1 ANY AUDIO SIGNAL ABOVE THE THRESHOLD IS GENTLY REDUCED. AT HIGHER RATIOS SUCH AS 10:1 OR HIGHER SIGNAL ABOVE THE THRESHOLD IS SMACKED DOWN HARD. THE GREATER THE RATIO, THE GREATER THE COMPRESSION.

COMPRESSION RATIO OF : 1

COMPRESSION RATIO OF : 1
IS WHATS KNOWN AS A LIMITING

COMPRESSION RATIO OF : 1

COMPRESSION ATTACK AND RELEASE

COMPRESSION ATTACK AND RELEASE

When a sound overshoots the volume threshold, the compressor does not instantly apply the full compression to the overshooting signal. Instead, the compression ratio increases gradually from 1:1 to the maximum within a certain amount of time. This time is called the attack time.

When the sound drops back below the threshold, the compressor does not instantly stop compressing the sound. Instead, it gradually reduces the compression ratio until it reaches 1:1 again. This time is called the release time.

When the sound drops back below the threshold, the compressor does not instantly stop compressing the sound. Instead, it gradually reduces the compression ratio until it reaches 1:1 again. This time is called the release time.
