Another brilliant Logic Pro X tutorial video, Jono. I'm not familiar with the New York compression technique so learned something new today. As always, super clear and concise with how you put these things across. I've always said you can give somebody the knowledge, but you can't teach a teacher how to teach, thankfully you have both in spades! Keep them coming.
Hi Marco. Welcome! There's a new video out every Wednesday. If you have any questions about Logic or suggestions for future videos, feel free to fire them over. Happy to have you with us!
@@jonobuchananmusic thank you so much for your response Jono. I don't know if you could make a video working on a mix with recorded instruments (Drum set, bass, guitar etc.) I would love to see how you mix certain things. I thank you in advance.
Super useful - as always. Thank you. With videos like this it might be useful to refer to a few examples of popular/classic songs that use this. Even better if they span a bunch of genres.
Thanks Andrew. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos - great suggestion. In the case of NY Compression, I would guess that the vast majority of electronic pop and dance music records are reliant on this technique and have been for a long time. But it's not just in electronic music productions either - punchy parallel compression is popular in rock and even acoustic instrument-based productions too. The reinforcement it provides is the key - whenever that is sought after in a mix, this is a good choice of production/mix approach. So it's definitely a technique which spans multiple genres.
Absolutely, Bitcrushing on parallel drum channels can be great alongside - or as a replacement for - compression. Have you tried Logic's Bitcrusher? It's pretty good!
@@jonobuchananmusic that comment was supposed to be on another video, not sure what happened there... Agreed - Logic's bitcrusher is actually pretty good. Thanks for all the great videos (even if the comment was for someone else 🥲). Compression, especially on beats, is something I'm really trying to get my head around at the moment. For example, the beats on this track feel line they've benefited from the compression treatment you've shown in this video - what do you think? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1EaTSk7KS_M.html
Hi Frédéric. Absolutely, pre-Fader works well too, particularly if you want to de-couple the original signal level from the parallel channel. But post-fader is great if you want to maintain a volume balance between the two signals at all times (such as maintaining a NYC style treatment through a fade-out).
