Grammy-Nominated Mixer Reveals:
Secrets of Mixing with Compression
In a matter of hours anyone can learn to hear & apply the 4 Fundamental Sonic Shapes you need to take the mystery out of dynamics processing—once and for all
Beginners and Pros: Keep an Open Mind for What You're About to Read...
I wish I could tell you there’s no wrong way to use compression...
...but that would be a big fat LIE!
Mix engineer Matt Weiss (with Akon), shaking his fist at
all the terrible compression tutorials out there!
So let’s keep it real:
Compression is by far the most confusing mixing technique—for beginners and for pros.
If you're even slightly confused about...
- How & when to use compressors, expanders, limiters, gates with confidence
- Hearing compression... so you can dial in the perfect attack & release time to get your mixes loud and loaded with energy
- How to effectively use (& artfully abuse) advanced dynamics processing like multi-band, side-chain, and parallel compression to take your mixes from 80% to 100%
Why Is Mixing With Compression So Freakin’ Hard?
It doesn’t have to be... But more on that in a sec.
My name is Dan, and I’m the founder of the Pro Audio Files.
The Pro Audio Files is the #1 trusted resource for anyone interested in mixing with compression to improve their mixes.
Most Compression Tutorials Suck... Here's Why
Most tutorials on compression go something like this:
“Use a slow attack and a quick release on [insert instrument]"
The problem?
This advice is basically useless…
I’ll explain why—stick with me:
It’s like you’re learning a language… Say you’re ordering a drink at a bar. The bartender only speaks Japanese. So you need help.
Now someone could tell you exactly what to say. And you could repeat it perfectly! Should you be happy? You’re probably not satisfied.
Because you don’t really understand what you said. You just repeated the words. And next time you’re in a different situation—say at a restaurant—you’ll have no clue what to say.
It’s the same with learning compression…
Someone could show you the perfect settings. You could dial them in perfectly, and Boom!—it sounds great.
BUT…
It’s not gonna help you on your next mix...or even your next insert… because you just copied the specific setting for this one specific channel in this one specific mix.
And here’s the real kicker… You have no concept or system to help you understand HOW to decide which settings to use!
The good news?
There IS a way to learn—and it's easy and fast. Which means you can finally start using compression WITHOUT constantly second-guessing your mix decisions.
You’ll be surprised how simple it is...
Stop “Adding” Compression—Do THIS Instead
Remember the guy shaking his fist in the picture above?
That’s Matt Weiss. He’s a Grammy-nominated, Spellemann Award-winning mixer with 10+ years in the game.
His credits include Akon, Rick Ross, Swae Lee, Chris Brown, Ozuna, Becky G, Anitta, Nico & Vinz, CADE, Damian Marley, SisQo' and many more.

When I first heard Matt's approach, I had a real aha moment:
Mixing with compression is NOT about “adding” anything. Or "reducing dynamics." Or just "making it louder."
It’s about SHAPE...
