What is compressor?
compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range. Compression is commonly used in sound recording and reproduction, broadcasting, live sound reinforcement and in some instrument amplifiers.
Use the compressor to add punch to your kicks and weight to your basses. Compression is key to obtaining a loud and punchey sound.
why compressor is useful for your track?
while mixing on any DAW, compressor is one of best thing to use.
because there's different between increasing the volume and compress. so, use compressor for your vocal, kick, snare, bass, hi hat and whole your track to normalize the sound loudness.
how to compress your vocal in fl studio mobile.
Fl studio mobile compressor has six features; Threshold, Ratio, attack, hold, release and Level.
threshold
according to Imagine line 'threshold the rate of increase is slowed (or even stopped) beyond that point. The art of setting a compressor is mainly in fine-tuning the magnitude, speed and timing of the automated gain changes so that the compression process does not introduce artifacts'.
Ratio - Controls the amount of compression (gain reduction) that will be applied to the signal once the threshold level is reached.
Attack
Controls the time it takes to reach full compression once the threshold level has been exceeded.
Release - Sets the time the compressor takes to stop acting after the level has fallen below threshold.
Level - Controls the amount of gain to be added or subtracted from the compressed output signal.
