Are you confused by compressors and limiters? Not sure why they are different or when to use them? In this tutorial I explain the differences between compressors and limiters and how to understand better when to use them. Controlling dynamics is a key function of mixing and limiters and compressors play a huge roll in that. In your quest to get better mixes you need to master Limiters and Compressors. Next to an EQ they are critical pieces of the puzzle. Limiters are not just for mastering. Compressors can be used throughout your miox but there are so many different types of compressors. In this video I offer my spin on the comparisons of compressor plugins and limiter plugins to help you better understand the differences on your way to improving your mixes.
