How can I learn to hear compression?

Set the attack to 20-25ms (slow enough for the track to be made punchier) and start with a long release time (1s). Listen to the first transient being louder than each subsequent hit. Shorten the release time until you'll start hearing distortion, pumping and tearing.

How do you read compression?

THE DEFINITION. In audio, compression is the process of reducing the dynamic range of an audio signal by squashing the loudest peaks in the signal and boosting the lowest peaks by a certain ratio. To put it simply, a compressor is a dynamic range processor.

How do you properly use compression?

How to Use Multiple Compressors in Series

  1. Use a low threshold so that it only reacts to the peaks.
  2. Use a high ratio so that those peaks will be cut down effectively.
  3. Use a fast attack and release, so it reacts immediately to the peaks but resets just as quickly so it doesn't affect the rest of the audio.
