[VIDEO] Compressing samples – compression basics

I was recording some samples off records as always and wanted to compress some louder passages before chopping things.

I also do a real quick aggressive, quick, peak-based compression at the end to squash a pop at the end.

Compressor plugin used: Tokyo Dawn Kotelnikov.

Fanu now official @ Spotify.
Will be having control over that page now, and to celebrate and kick it off, I’ve created a “FANU PICKS” playlist full of bass music and D&B to show you some tracks that have inspired me and which I think you should hear. This is the stuff I also play as a DJ, so let’s get those bookings in.

Will be updating the playlist every two weeks.

Thoughts to music makers and to music fans

Thoughts to all musicmakers:
We’re all struggling (if you’re trying to get heard, that is). It’s not easy for anyone. Today’s world is so oversaturated, thanks to the internet.
As my distributor put it this week (and they’ve seen the music game since the very beginning):
“Getting heard used to be hard due to the gatekeepers (DJ’s/labels), but that, on reflection, was a good thing, as it restricted the flow at the same time. Now the floodgates are open Continue reading Thoughts to music makers and to music fans
