Videos
• Introduction (01:35) - What we’ll cover in this series.
• How To Use A Compressor (11:13) - In this video Marcus Huyskens gives a basic overview of the various parameters found in most compressors and dynamics processors.
• Channel Strip (06:42) - Learn how to use the compressor, expander, and gain in the Studio One Channel Strip to quickly and efficiently dial in a smooth sound.
• Fat Channel (07:46) - Marcus demonstrates the dynamics section of the Fat Channel including, the Limiter, Gate/Expander, and the compressor.
• Multiband Dynamics (05:21) - Learn how to take control of the discrete frequencies in your tracks but dialing in custom tailored compression settings based on the individual bands.
• RC500 (03:53) - In this video, Marcus demonstrates how to use the simple yet effective RC500 state space plug-in.
