Super Helpful

As always, this course on DVD was super helpful for myself and for the training of our sound team which includes several people new to sound and all of us are amateurs. David covers all the basics, always illustrates and explains well, and the examples really focus in on the difference that compression and gates can make. Thanks David for your help as we seek to help our great musicians sounds their best!

You need to watch this if you want to learn compressors!

It's everything you need to know to understand Compression. I thought I had an understanding of how Compression worked, but this showed me I still had things to learn! Definitely worth the money.

Master Class - Compression, Limiters and Gates

Just finished studying this course and was absolutely blown away by the exceptional education provided on Dynamic Processors. I now understand their importance and how to use them to create a great mix, particularly where drum and vocal tracks are concerned. The material and examples explaining serial compression and better utilization of noise gates was particularly helpful to me. There was much more in-depth and nuanced instruction in this course than I expected. What I've learned is now permanently in my toolbox. I would recommend it as required education for anyone. Thank you, David and ProAudioEXP for another great Master Class.

Great Masterclass on Compression

I enjoyed going through all the videos on a weekend and can confidently state that both the content and clear explanations kept me interested. David's delivery is second to none and really makes learning enjoyable and learn I did about compression, the different types and gates along with their applicable functions. Buy, you won't regret it.
