Audio Compression in Premiere Pro - Part 1: Introduction
Hi there and welcome to this video where we're now going to talk about compression. So in premiere pro, there are a few different compressors to choose from. However, the compressor I'm going to choose is actually part of the dynamics plug in. So let's go over to the effects tab and then go down to audio effects. And here we can go down to dynamics and click and drag this over to our audio clip. And now if we hit edit, we can see this dynamics plug in and we will need to check this box here to enable the compressor. The reason I like this compressor is because I can visually see the gain reduction. So we can see how much we are compressing with this meter here. Some of the other compressors don't have this gain reduction meter, which is why I don't really use these. Also, this compressor has all of the essential settings I need for compressing such as threshold ratio attack release and makeup gain. And I'm also going to tell you what all these essential settings do in the next few vide...
os. So a compressor is an audio effect that changes the dynamic range of audio. So what we're doing is basically affecting the volume of audio over time by compressing it down and then pulling up the overall level of volume with makeup gain. So a mix of vocals or a voice compression is really one of the most basic tools. So every audio editing software or digital audio workstation will include a basic compressor plug in and some compressors will also have some more advanced features than this. But this compressor really has the essentials that you need for mixing vocals. So if you play this audio back now, you'll notice there's no compression. One thing to note if you have used the EXS 24 in the past, this actually uses the same file type. So you'll be able to open up your old instruments and you'll notice here as well. There was no gain reduction, which means we're not getting any compression. So if we drag the threshold all the way back and we increase the ratio, you'll notice we will get some gain reduction here and this will compress our audio in this new sampler, you can find this instrument, they got rid of the Exs 24. That's quite an extreme amount of compression. To be honest, I wouldn't have the threshold all the way down to minus 46 DB. But I just wanted to quickly show you that the compressor is working. So we're going to look at this in a lot more detail in the next few videos I just quickly wanted to introduce you to this compressor. So in the next video we're going to be looking at threshold and ratio in detail, see you there.
