Adding compression is a simple process. It's basically just adding inserts to any of your
tracks. You can add compressions to multiple tracks by pressing the shift button or the
apple button, and holding down and selecting multiple tracks. These tracks are going to
be temporarily grouped so that whatever you do to one track you'll be able to do that
to all those tracks at the same time. This helps with a lot of time and it helps be more
efficient within the program. Now, when adding compression, what you can do is go to the
plug in spot, go to dynamics, and pick a compressor. After picking a compressor, each compressor
has a bunch of different presets within the parameters that you can use. Now, once doing
that, it has pretty much drums, guitars, keyboards, voice compression tools, and it has some wave
burn tools. Now within the compression, the attack and the reset are very, very important,
and this will help you bring sounds more to the ground in your mix. It'll make it so it's
more clear without actually having to change the level of the volume. It kind of squishes
the smaller, softer tones within the music, and kind of meets the loudest tones.
