It's sexy. It's mysterious. It's the subject of a million nerdy blog posts. It's compression!

Compression is probably the subject of the most "Top 10 Tricks" videos on the internet (unverified, wild-ass claim) but to really understand and get something out of all of these videos, we first need to understand the concept of "dynamics". 

In this episode, the guys lay down the foundation of knowledge on dynamics that will make future discussions on the various processors and tools possible. 

You will learn:

• What "dynamics" are
• What the difference is between "macro-dynamics" and "micro-dynamics"
• Why and when we may care about macro and micro dynamics in the context of a music production
• Different ways we can control dynamics
• The different processors in our arsenal that allow for dynamics control
• Why a compressor is a remarkable simple concept with remarkably deep applications and how to understand what a compressor does. 
• When to reach for a dynamics processor
