It’s no secret that compression is one of the most important and versatile tools to an audio engineer. Use the following tips to improve your production skills.

1. Sidechain Compression or Ducking

A staple of the EDM production toolkit, the sound of a side-chained synthesizer and kick drum is instantly recognizable. Essentially, it involves using one signal to apply compression upon a another. There are plenty of online tutorials for this process, but the applications below may be ones you’re less familiar with.

Practical applications: Use the signal of vocals to duck drums or guitars to allow the vocal to sit more prominently in the mix, use a sample to replace or augment originally recorded cymbals, use a cowbell or tick sample rather than the kick to duck synth (due to the faster attack of the tick sound.)

Possible plugins: Softube CL1B or Valley People Dyna-mite, Waves H-Comp or API 2500

2. Multiband Compression/Limiting

Multiband compression allows one to affect the dynamic range of multiple frequency ranges independently of one another. Want to tame the beater of a kick drum without altering the low end? No problem. Simply choose a frequency range, and then set threshold, attack and release like you would on a normal compressor.

Practical applications: Master bus for clearing up problem areas like low-mid buildup, or on lead vocals to tame harshness in the 5-10k range.

Possible plugins: FabFilter Pro-MB, iZotope Ozone 6, Waves L3-LL Multimaximizer

3. Lookahead Compression

Lookahead compression essentially analyzes an input signal and applies compression before the signal is audible, allowing one to tame transients in a unique way. Lookahead compression can be achieved with a standard compressor by duplicating the signal onto another track in your DAW, moving the audio back in time, placing a compressor on the original signal, and using the duplicated audio as the sidechain input.

Practical applications: Really anything with prominent, fast transients but especially effective on snare drum and vocals.

Possible plugins: Softube FET compressor, Waves C1 Compressor with Sidechain

4. Brickwall Limiting

[Disclaimer] Learn how to mix before simply applying a brickwall limiter to the master bus of all your productions.

Although arguably the catalyst for the Loudness War, which stripped certain popular music of dynamics for over a decade, brickwall limiting certainly has its place in music production, live sound reinforcement and broadcast. Set the ceiling, and your signal will never go above it. Alter the threshold to bring the lower amplitude of the dynamic range closer to the top, allowing one to reach professional-level RMS without understanding professional-level mixing skills. [see disclaimer!]

Practical applications: Pre-mastering if used properly and mastering. Use on sub-auxiliary tracks to achieve higher RMS values before even hitting the master bus. Can be used on individual tracks to tame transients or shape tone just like a traditional compressor.

Possible plugins: FabFilter Pro-L, Waves L2, PSP Xenon

5. Parallel Compression

Parallel compression (sometimes referred to as New York compression) is great for keeping the original, natural sound of a recording, while still enjoying the benefits of a compressed signal. Simply route your signal to an auxilliary track (via the sends, not output) apply compression, and blend in the aux track to taste. Be aware of delay compensation settings in your DAW to avoid unwanted phase issues.

Practical Applications: Very popular on drums or signals with harsh transients. Also great on the master bus for achieving a boost in RMS.

Possible plugins: Certain plugins like Cytomic’s The Glue or FabFilter’s Pro-L allow for a dry/wet blend which can achieve similar results to parallel, but any of your favorite compressors can achieve great results if used properly.

According to recent stats from Nielsen Music, digital download music sales are plummeting while streaming continues to boom. During the last week in August, digital downloads in the U.S. plummeted to 15.66 million – its lowest weekly volume since 2007 – whereas on-demand audio and video streams rose to 6.6 billion – its highest weekly volume ever.

Streaming now represents a third of U.S. music revenue; up from just five percent five years ago. Compared to total CD sales, which were down 31.5 percent in the first half of 2015, streaming revenues were up by 23 percent, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). For the first time, U.S. sales from streaming surpassed $1 billion in the first six months of the year.

The trend is abundantly clear – as streaming gains favor among consumers, revenues from album sales and digital downloads are drying up. This is an alarming problem for songwriters and composers – the people who are the creative engine powering the entire music industry – because streaming revenue does not come close to closing the gap in physical sales, and certainly does not reflect the scale of music use on these new platforms.

Under the current system of antiquated laws, it takes nearly one million streams, on average, for a songwriter to make just $100 on the largest streaming service. However, songwriters are limited in their ability to negotiate higher compensation in these situations. When licensees and Performing Rights Organizations, cannot reach an agreement, songwriters are forced to use an expensive and inefficient rate court process in which a single federal judge decides the rate.

No other industry works this way, and we are way past due for a change. But that will not happen unless songwriters, composers and music fans make their voices heard in the ongoing debate over music licensing reform. If we truly believe that music has value, we must urge our leaders in Washington to make changes that ensure songwriters are able to receive fair compensation for their work in the marketplace.

Fortunately, the U.S. Copyright Office, members of Congress and many industry observers have realized the absurdity of the current regulatory framework and called for reform. Importantly, the DOJ is formally considering much needed updates to the ASCAP and BMI consent decrees that would better reflect the way people listen to music today. As part of the DOJ process, ASCAP has recommended changes that would foster continued innovation and competition, and result in music licensing rates that better reflect the free market.

Songwriters and composers are the lifeblood of America’s music industry – without their work, Pandora, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and the like would have nothing to offer new listeners. A music licensing system that reflects advances in technology and today’s competitive landscape would better serve everyone, allowing songwriters to continue creating the music that is loved by so many.
