Sweet tutorial, and to make it better, Lives compressor is my favorite

lives compressor has a nasty sound IMO. I only ever use it for sidechaining.

I have many compressors, and I like alot of them alot, most have their own character. When I really got to grips with compression, I have often felt it was easier for me to get the results I was after with Live's own compressor. There are many that could sound better for different materials but, it has been the quickest for me to get results. Also its a matter of preference too.

Waves Solid state compressor is nice

His mxidown tutorial is good too.

And he recommends -6dbfs peaks.

So again, countless engineers recommend -3dbfs -6dbfs or more headroom for DAW summmed mixes.

I didn't learn anything new but I would have certainly appreciated to have read it when I first started producing.
