Learn how to shape the dynamics of your music with this Compressor Workshop, designed for producers, engineers, and artists who want to achieve professional, polished mixes. Compression is one of the most powerful — yet often misunderstood — tools in music production. This workshop breaks it down step by step so you can confidently use compressors to enhance clarity, punch, and balance in your tracks.

You’ll explore the core parameters (threshold, ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain) and understand how they affect sound. We’ll cover different types of compressors (VCA, FET, optical, and digital) and when to use each for vocals, drums, bass, or the entire mix. Through practical examples, you’ll learn how to control dynamics without crushing the life out of a performance, glue instruments together, and make your mix sound more professional.

By the end, you’ll know not just how to use a compressor, but how to hear compression — the key skill that separates beginners from pros. Whether you’re mixing hip-hop, pop, EDM, or rock, this workshop will give you the tools to bring out the best in your sound
