Learn Upwards Compression step by step: add clarity, presence, and dynamics to your mixes with FabFilter, OTT, and advanced mixing/mastering techniques. Join producer and educator Larry Holcombe for a focused video course on upwards compression, one of the most powerful, yet often misunderstood, mixing and mastering techniques. Unlike standard compression, which tames peaks, upwards compression raises the quiet details, bringing subtle textures and nuances to the forefront while preserving transients and punch. Through practical, real-world examples, Larry demonstrates how this approach can add depth, excitement, and balance to any mix. These upwards compression videos are designed for users new to the concept of upwards compression. This compression course begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of upwards compression, including how it works and why it differs from traditional downward compression. Using a classic DnB funk break, Larry illustrates how lifting quieter elements makes grooves feel more alive and detailed.
