I enjoyed Brian Lee White’s EQ course on Lynda.com so much that I decided to do his Audio Foundations: Compression and Dynamic Processing class as well. It’s another really great class presented clearly and methodically.

Particularly liked the idea of using gradual compression from multiple compressors to get a more natural sound. E.g. using a limiter to address only the peaks with the threshold and output linked followed by a compressor using a low ratio to create body on the average level of the track while using another compressor to give a touch of color (e.g. gain cranked on a vintage styled plug-in set to a low ratio setting).
