00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,030
hey guys Ryan Earnhardt here from
2
00:00:01,319 --> 00:00:02,319
creative Sound Lab TV today we're gonna
3
00:00:03,689 --> 00:00:04,689
be talking about how to compress
4
00:00:04,770 --> 00:00:05,770
overheads this is something that I don't
5
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:08,500
think I've covered before I want to get
6
00:00:09,090 --> 00:00:10,090
into some more mixing tutorials and this
7
00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:12,910
is it can be really important
8
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,040
you can definitely mess up your overhead
9
00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:17,170
track getting this right is often the
10
00:00:19,949 --> 00:00:20,949
top end of a rock mix so the cymbals are
11
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:24,580
very important the snare is very
12
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:26,109
important and both are affected by how
13
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:28,660
you set your compressor for the
14
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:30,460
overheads so let's check it out okay so
15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,040
my basic approach to compressing
16
00:00:37,469 --> 00:00:38,469
overheads is to listen to two things the
17
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:41,710
snare through the attack the so between
18
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:48,070
those two things
19
00:00:49,170 --> 00:00:50,170
[Music]
20
00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:14,980
that's really cranked unity gain I think
21
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:22,790
is about it's three here so below three
22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,680
we can really or have a snare is
23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
changing and when the cymbals are hit we
24
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:37,310
can hear how the cymbals are changing in
25
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:39,950
the sustain somebody's kind of stick out
26
00:02:03,370 --> 00:02:04,370
[Music]
27
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,360
with compression the snare blends in and
28
00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:10,340
the cymbals blend in so it's all around
29
00:02:12,670 --> 00:02:13,670
one dynamic within the drum set
30
00:02:15,690 --> 00:02:16,690
everything is kind of blending together
31
00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:18,820
this is actually a pair of su 0 and 3 so
32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
diaphragm and I think it does a really
33
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:25,640
nice job blending together so let's
34
00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:31,250
change up the attack and release
35
00:02:31,870 --> 00:02:32,870
settings first the attack settings what
36
00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:35,330
you listen to how the snare changes with
37
00:02:37,209 --> 00:02:38,209
the attack
38
00:02:46,190 --> 00:02:47,190
give it some more juice here really tell
39
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
[Music]
40
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,080
barely touching it here touching it a
41
00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:12,010
little bit there
42
00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:14,850
[Music]
43
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,440
here's a nice gooey spot a little bit of
44
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:19,390
a tag a little bit of that gooey
45
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:20,920
compression here we might have lost too
46
00:03:25,709 --> 00:03:26,709
much of the attack so again you have to
47
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:29,260
kind of listen to the snare because it's
48
00:03:31,290 --> 00:03:32,290
most likely the loudest thing in the
49
00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:34,150
overheads I don't want to destroy all
50
00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:40,870
the transients you just want to kind of
51
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:42,370
soften them up blend them in a little
52
00:03:43,709 --> 00:03:44,709
bit this is pretty aggressive work 4 to
53
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,280
1 at probably a 6 DB of production
54
00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:52,590
[Music]
55
00:04:00,049 --> 00:04:01,049
okay let's talk about release so moment
56
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:04,959
these symbols come man we're gonna
57
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:06,159
really be able to play with this release
58
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:07,959
it'll also affect the sound of the snare
59
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
too so it's not exactly you know this is
60
00:04:12,329 --> 00:04:13,329
just affecting the snare simple okay you
61
00:04:22,979 --> 00:04:23,979
don't like that it's too slow Otto's a
62
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:30,039
little bit too slow as well there we go
63
00:04:33,770 --> 00:04:34,770
[Music]
64
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:36,300
ya hear that crash with a slower lease
65
00:05:01,979 --> 00:05:02,979
we'll hear a little bit more definition
66
00:05:05,490 --> 00:05:06,490
to that snare the snare Oh seemed like a
67
00:05:08,010 --> 00:05:09,010
little bit thicker we're gonna get more
68
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:13,150
room in the snare here it'll be more
69
00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:15,430
punchy over here so punchy for slow
70
00:05:17,370 --> 00:05:18,370
release more of a washed-out sound for
71
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:21,280
fast release on that snare but really
72
00:05:23,849 --> 00:05:24,849
we're trying to kind of find a good
73
00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:27,250
medium for the cymbals now Brant the
74
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:29,500
sustains at the beginning of the crashes
75
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,080
aren't so loud and the sustain of the
76
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:34,960
crashes aren't so quiet so that way we
77
00:05:36,570 --> 00:05:37,570
can have less overheads in the final mix
78
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:40,300
and that means a smoother sounding mix
79
00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:42,550
we have more control of it this way
80
00:05:44,170 --> 00:05:45,170
[Music]
81
00:06:03,330 --> 00:06:04,330
let's see how this sounds here on the
82
00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:06,410
symbols could really use either setting
83
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:31,790
but I think I like the snare a little
84
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:33,230
bit more on the point eight setting one
85
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:54,170
thing I've noticed is that the knee is
86
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:55,940
definitely rounded off at these lower
87
00:06:58,330 --> 00:06:59,330
read ratios here boom all of a sudden
88
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:13,540
we're compressing particular has a very
89
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,480
distinct sound realistically this is
90
00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:30,650
something that I might use you don't
91
00:07:32,110 --> 00:07:33,110
want to overdo it and if you have any
92
00:07:34,060 --> 00:07:35,060
doubts as far as how much you're
93
00:07:35,590 --> 00:07:36,590
compressing turn it down listen at a
94
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:38,900
lower volume again we're listening to
95
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:43,310
the snare and snare a pack here I'm
96
00:07:45,460 --> 00:07:46,460
listening to some of the snare most of
97
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:49,010
the symbols here we're trying to even
98
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,480
out the beginning of the crashes so they
99
00:07:51,940 --> 00:07:52,940
kind of blend it in to the rest of the
100
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,440
groove
101
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:58,430
[Music]
102
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:04,430
c22 one we can really hear it start to
103
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:07,050
get small if we overdo it here we gotta
104
00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:11,970
make sure we don't overdo things and
105
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,680
general lower ratios might say a little
106
00:08:17,660 --> 00:08:18,660
bigger sounding and these higher ratios
107
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:21,780
might sound a little more clamped down
108
00:08:22,130 --> 00:08:23,130
or smaller sound more aggressive sound
109
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,600
of course we're not compressing one
110
00:08:37,370 --> 00:08:38,370
about 40 B you really have to use your
111
00:08:41,090 --> 00:08:42,090
ear some compressors you can't really
112
00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:44,310
pay attention to the meter
113
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:45,690
you have to listen sometimes the meter
114
00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:47,970
won't even be moving but just tickling
115
00:08:49,370 --> 00:08:50,370
the meter just like that and it can be
116
00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:52,410
perfect so always use your ears always
117
00:08:54,350 --> 00:08:55,350
listen to the things in the material
118
00:08:56,450 --> 00:08:57,450
you're compressing to help me make
119
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,920
decisions never go completely on presets
120
00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:02,850
always use your ears okay I'm gonna let
121
00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:07,650
it rip
122
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,320
[Music]
123
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:12,150
so cute ahead of the compressor
124
00:09:19,270 --> 00:09:20,270
[Music]
125
00:09:31,649 --> 00:09:32,649
pretty cool
126
00:09:33,610 --> 00:09:34,610
[Music]
127
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:42,680
really hear how this attack is changing
128
00:09:44,269 --> 00:09:45,269
the sound heck that might actually
129
00:09:59,990 --> 00:10:00,990
perfect for some for some sounds that
130
00:10:05,029 --> 00:10:06,029
may be just right but I think the three
131
00:10:07,070 --> 00:10:08,070
is about right so there you have it a
132
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:11,790
little bit about how to compress
133
00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:13,110
overheads okay I'd love to hear what you
134
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:15,870
think about compressing overheads what
135
00:10:17,149 --> 00:10:18,149
are your favorite compressors to use for
136
00:10:18,709 --> 00:10:19,709
the job I'd love to hear your thoughts
137
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,120
