How does a compressor of an audio track volume

How does a compressor of an audio track volume A compressor is probably the most misunderstood of all the instruments in the recording studio. Ironically, it is also one of the most powerful tools for recording and mixing. Although there are many aspects of a compressor, which were written, I explain how a compressor can make a track sound great. Want to lea how to use a compressor? Well good luck. It takes years to make a reasonable feel for a compressor. I'm only now, where I always feel that a compressor will allow me to play with the settings. In the past it was only to laugh and he laughed because I just do not understand how to use it for my photos. Then talk to us as a compressor can be a strong audio-tracker. Ironically, a compressor actually knocks the volume of a track, but then has a gain knob reinforces the trick there is the backup. To understand how a compressor can be a po 'forte, it is necessary to understand the difference between the tip and the average volume of the volume (also RMS). A highlight is exactly what it says. This is a draft. The signal starts very low and not very high. A good example is a volume climax snare hit. Average volume of the sound that occurs over time. Do not take a low E on a bass guitar and do it. This is an almost constant sound. Another is the maximum volume. In other words, in digital audio we have a volume limit. It is equal to zero. For whatever reason, they tape measure negative numbers with 0dB is the absolute strongest. When a song is a hint to jump down to zero, one can not push the band on this track, even if the other parts of the trail are very small amounts (no tape automation). Let us now see the audio tracks, both constant and peaky. One vocal track is a good example. A song can jump very quickly, but can also be obtained. Let's say you take a 0 dB point, but most of the track is also included. You will notice that when the song is at the maximum gain before the cut, which many words are incomprehensible. This is because they are simply too many. Suppose that there are serious problems, the first thing I do is usually a compressor. Smash and I go over the top and then push back the tape with the order for the compressor. Now the song is equal to something. The track will be on the track much better and more complete listen. With the mastery of a recording, compression is almost always to increase the volume of the strong CD. Most of the time, the CD has already been taken to zero, so that the peak of the volume has not increased. But it's RMS or average volume can increase significantly. If we have a stereo mix compressor, we are able to destroy the song into a smaller dynamic range. It consumes less volume. Although this may be a bad thing, because the dynamics are reduced, this day the total volume of seams are important (I'm not sure who decided). After the compressor, is the thing that make up the profit is to increase the level of the track until the desired amount. When you lea, the process of mixing audio, I recommend compression with more than you need to think. Hit's all very difficult. If the distorted sounds again. I think the compression is the opposite of Hall. Although many home recording enthusiasts will start reverb too, is often times not so much as the compression of great men. Experiment. The situation is different for everyone. To sum up, a compressor is used to beat the top (strong parties) of an audio signal and then use the make-up gain to adjust the volume back. It takes time to deal with a compressor. Note that you can do much more with a compressor as the most powerful. As always, do not be afraid to experiment.
