Attack and Release are ways to smooth this compressionвЂ™s affect, to make it not seem so sudden.Play with this to see the effects of higher compression ratios. 6dB louder would be pushed down to 2dB, and so on. This means for every 3dB louder a signal comes in above the threshold, it would be reduced to 1dB. Mike mentionsВ using a 3Г—1 ratio for his podcasts. Ratio: The higher the ratio the more severe the compression, or in the cowboy example, how strong the cowboy will lasso that sound back down to the threshold.Think ofВ it like a cowboy lassoing back anything louder than the threshold, вЂњHey you, LoudВ Noise/Word/Sound! GetВ back down here!вЂќ

Anything quieter than this dB will be unaffected, anything louder than it will have the compressor applied. Threshold: at what volume will the compressor engage? This is a line in the sand.LetвЂ™s add a SingleвЂ“ Band Compressor to JustinвЂ™s track under AMPLITUDE AND COMPRESSION. Naturally we start sentences louder than we end them, for example. NowВ add the same 10 Band EQ to Mike and repeat.ДЄВ compressor is a way toВ adjustВ the dynamic between the quietest someone speaks compared to the loudest they speak. For Justin, I ended up with something like you see in the above image. The goal here is вЂњto make them sound like themselvesвЂќ as Mike puts it. Fiddle around with each band and find what helps and what hurts. I also like to kill the highest frequency here, as human voices donвЂ™t tend to live up here, but high-pitched noise might have snuck in, so letвЂ™s take that down too.ДЄs for the rest вЂ“ these depend on the speaker and the recording, and can be subjective. This will knock out any low rumbling noise that might have crept in the recording.

If you want some tips on how to EQ voices, go ahead and listen to MikeВ share his effects process in the sample files,В around the 20-minute mark, or on theВ MP3 of the episode here: Podcasting with Justin Edwards.В IвЂ™ll mirror his suggestions here. Click the triangle for the dropdown, and go through FILTER AND EQ and add the 10 Bands Graphic Equalizer. LetвЂ™s start with Justin track (Track 1, which IвЂ™ve renamed HOST in my project). To choose an effect, use the trianglesВ to open a dropdown menu. This comes into play for instance when youВ consider: DoВ I want to compress my EQвЂ™d track, or EQ my compressed track? For podcasting it may not make a major difference, but keep it in mind if you start piling on effects: ORDER MATTERS. There are a list of numbers on the left which you can use to assign effects, keeping in mind that effects work in a hierarchical manner, a.k.a.:В the effect on #1 will be applied to the track first, and an effect on #2 will be applied to the track afterВ #1 has been applied, and so on.

You should see which track you are affecting in the Effects Rack named after Track: (below Presets) To assign effects to a particular track, make sure you have the track selected by clicking on it in the timeline.
