I have posted two tutorials that I wrote in the Q&A section covering compression, side chain compressors, and noise gates.Each tutorial is designed to teach individuals alternative ways in which to approach the use of compressors and noise gates in their music. For example, a compressor is commonly used to limit a threshold range within music. The goal of this is to of course create a a more uniform space for the sounds within a musical piece. There is so much more that can be done with a compressor though. It can be utilized as a distortion plugin, it can create a "ducking" effect, or it can be used to create IDM style beats.The Noise Gate tutorial was written largely due to the fact that noise gates are commonly used in conjunction with compressors. Noise Gates are useful for limiting audio output when a certain threshold is met. The third article covers sidechain compression. This is the most misunderstood use of a compressor, but is probably the most fun to use in electronic music.I hope you enjoy.
