Tape delay is built on a set of five primary parameters that define how time-domain effects behave and sound: Each parameter shapes how audio is repeated, altered, and degraded over…

Time domain effects were first made possible when sound engineers discovered they could exploit the physical gap between the record and repro heads of a tape recorder. This simple mechanical…

Time domain effects are created by making single or multiple copies of a source sound, delaying those copies in time, and then mixing the delayed signals back with the original.…

By Jatari Compression versus equalization is one of those topics that never truly has a single, definitive answer. It is not a rule-based decision. It is a context-based decision, shaped…

By Jatari What a Maximizer Really Is A maximizer is fundamentally about getting the most volume out of your recordings. That is its core purpose. At first glance, a maximizer…

Hey, what’s up! Welcome to the first season of Gating. In this season, we’re exploring dynamic processors, and in this particular episode, we’re focusing on gates. Gates are a fundamental…

What I want to take a look at now is multiband compression. We’re still working with a drum track, and the process begins the same way it often does: going…

Now we’re going to take a look at parallel compression, which by some people is called New York drum compression.What it does is very straightforward but extremely powerful in a…

Welcome back to the fourth episode with Jatari.In this episode, the focus is on three essential compression techniques used in modern audio production: The walkthrough begins with sidechain compression, breaking…

Welcome to the second part of this audio-tutorial series on compression. In the first part, the focus was on the common functions of compressors—how they work and what each control…
