I have been using compressors for quite some time now, so it was very interesting to be able to go deeper into the technology behind it.

It's a device that basically just makes loud noises and soft noises softer. Now that I have been introduced to that, it’s so interesting. Compression in itself is so helpful. I remember recording songs without using a compressor and it took hours and hours trying to make what I had, sound amazing. But there was so much clipping, plus raising and lowering volume. And when I started using a compressor, my life became so much easier.
