What is Dynamic Range in Audio?
🔊 Dynamic range: the secret weapon of powerful mixes.
Too much compression, and your track loses its punch. Too little, and it feels inconsistent.

👉 We just published a deep dive on what dynamic range really is, why it matters, and how to use it to make your mixes stand out.

Question: Do you prefer your mixes punchy and dynamic 🎶 or tight and loud 🔥?

Any tips for differentiating in between 75ms and 100ms in Compressionist? The difference between them seems arbitrary. At the level I'm at the exercises seem to fluctuate between super easy and super tough. It would be nice if the exercises within each level were more balanced.

At slower attacks like that literally the only thing you should be listening for is the transient on the kick and snare. It's always difficult to describe these things using words, but at 100 ms, more of the initial attack gets through so the compression will feel just a little more grabby than it does at 75 ms, almost akin to the sound/feel of slamming a door. It will have more of that ssssschup. To look at it through the inverse lens, the initial attack on the snare and kick will be just a little bit softer or pushed back into the mix relative to 100 ms. Once you hear it, you hear it and the attack portion of Compressionist starts to become the easiest part.
