By Craig AndertonManaging sound levels at different moments can be critical, especially with narration or other elements. Mixing pro Craig Anderton shows you how to use sidechaining to control the compression
Definition:
1. Reducing the dynamic range of an audio or video signal for consistency, to keep it from exceeding the available headroom, or providing a special effect. 2. With data, using a process to reduce the amount of data. Compression can be lossless, where decompressing replicates the original signal, or lossy, where compression occurs by judging some data as unnecessary, and can therefore be discarded from the file., while monitoring attackDefinition:
The time it takes for a signal to reach maximum amplitude. This timing controls the response of dynamics processors such as compressors and limiters, and a variety of music synthesizer modules. and decayDefinition:
1. The natural volume falloff in an audio or resonating system, such as reverb, or an instrument's note. 2. A parameter in an ADSR envelope. See: ADSR. time for optimal results.
