In this video, you'll discover how to create loud and punchy mixes and masters by using this little-known compression technique. My name is Philip from Pick Yourself, and I've created this channel to help electronic music producers like you make meaningful progress with their music.

If you're into electronic music production, especially genres like Techno, House, and EDM, you probably know the importance of compression in achieving a professional sound. Compression is a powerful tool that helps control dynamics and adds impact to your tracks. However, traditional multiband compression has its downsides. It can mess with the groove and introduce phase issues, which can ultimately hinder the quality of your music.

There's a more effective compression technique that I want to share with you today. It involves utilizing an internal side-chain detection circuit found in certain compressors, such as the TDR Kotelnikov. This technique allows you to achieve outstanding results without compromising the groove or introducing phase issues.

By applying the right compression settings, your music will sound louder and more coherent while maintaining a natural feel. Forget the complex multiband compression workflows and all the hype about these tools. In this video, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of using a technique that all the mastering pros know and love.

We'll delve into the specifics of setting up the TDR Kotelnikov compressor, but don't worry if you don't have that exact plugin. The concepts and principles I'll discuss can be applied to other compressors with similar features.
