127. Compression Practicals

In Episode 127, the hosts provide a deeper dive into compression, building on the discussion that began in the previous episode. They talk about a tricky aspect of compression: knowing exactly when it’s needed, backed up with examples and situations where it could be needed — or not. They also dive into the numbers, providing good starting points for aspects such as attack, release, and threshold. The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and Renkus-Heinz.
