How To Mix A Song From Scratch - Compression [Part 4 of 6]
May 01, 2017Why do songs on the radio have so much punch, power, and energy when a lot of home studio mixes sound flat?
The answer is well executed compression. It can be the difference maker between a mix that is lifeless and one that jumps out of the speakers.
And the good news is, you don’t need a fancy compressor plugin or an expensive DAW to pull this off. As I’ve been doing this entire series, I’m mixing my song in a FREE piece of software (Pro Tools First) and using the included stock compressor plugin.
So today I want to show you how to use a compressor when mixing in your software – whether on a vocal or a synth, compression can give you that upfront sound you’re looking for!
