8:39 EQ & Compression
The two most common processors used in music production are EQs and compressors. These powerful tools can add punch, definition, and vibrancy to your recordings and mixes.

Fairly helpful
A good overview of this subject but sometimes I would like to have more in depth and not so fast explanations. Also drop the background music - big minus. When you look at the whole series and several episodes after each other it becomes really annoying. Why do you need background music!!

Well done but very short and only useful for newbies
It would be easy to not recommend this video but I have to remind myself who the intended audience is, i.e. people have pretty much no signal processing experience as it relates to audio recording. (If you do have any experience, e.g. you know what a Distressor is, the series won't help at all.) For newbies, the series could be useful because it gives a very quick overview of all the most common types of processing (EQ, compressing, etc.) and the explanations are clear and professionally presented. I'm only deducting half a star because the videos are very short, not because of their introductory level. Audios

Glorified Infomercial
There is some content here, particularly if you want a first look at compression, but the focus seems more on promoting plug-ins.
