Compressors and Gates for Live Sound 

First video where i finally can understand how compression works, and what the different setting does. And i have seen a few. Trying to wrap my head around this😅. Thank you!!

Best video on gate and compression I’ve seen.

Thank you Tim. Excellent tutorial. Very helpful.

Thank You Tim. I have a Ui24r and I needed more clarification, this was very helpful.

What a great explanation of these tools. It definitely helped me seeing you use the same miXers that I'm using ... but your explanations and examples definitely cleared up my confusion... THANKS!

Once I set a gate at an event to try and remedy a noisy preamp. (This was the first time the input was noisy and I was short extra channels). At this event, a few professional voice actors were speaking. One of them called me out on the gate and asked me to remove it... That was fun. I reduced it some, but admittedly it was the first time I'd ever used a gate and I didn't know enough to do it right. I ended up passing the VA another mic in the moment. It was a little relieving to hear that gates can be tricky on vocals. That means mine was probably terrible and I just couldn't hear it at the time. It was really subtle, just enough to hide the subtle noise, but the VA could surely tell. Equipment was a Behringer X Air digital mixer.

awesome....

This is great!! Better then other videos our there. Thank you. Please keep making more.

Thanks..👍👍

A good video, except for one minor error at 1:15 in. On the Soundcraft Compressor screen, the Input scale is shown across the bottom and Output scale is to the left. Thus when ratio is lowered, you can read the left hand scale (Output) by following grid lines that intersect with the light-blue line. (I know. I am splitting hairs here, but if it makes it easier to understand, it may help a newbie.)

Thanks heaps! Really well explained. On the Soundcraft UI, we have the little red X flashing on one of our channels down the bottom, from what you've said it looks like our gate might be set too high? Not only do we see the red X flashing, but we also get the levels dropping in and out, so I think that makes sense of the gate being too high.

Thank you so much for this video it has been very helpful. Btw did you attend Pensacola Christian College?

Gates are great to prevent feedback from monitors that are too loud.

An X32's gate can be set as an expander. What is a good use of an expander?
