This setting tells the DAW how fast to apply and how long it should take to stop the compressor effect. There’s no right or wrong answer here, but you’re going to have to listen to your voice over and over to see what makes sense for you. You may want to play around with this a bit, but in general I use -6dB so I have more freedom to laugh on mic. Only sounds above that level will be compressed. The threshold is the point where you want the compressor to start bringing your peaks under control. To avoid this, use the compressor (or sometimes called “speech volume leveler”) to bring the peaks of your voice below the clipping point, and the quietest parts up to an audible level. As always, record with the highest bit depth you can. This is accomplished by reducing the dynamic range of a track in a way that’s not going to damage the quality (much). A compressor can be used to prevent clipping in samples, as well as bring up the levels of quieter sounds in your voice recording. Consequently, you’re going to want to use what’s called a “compressor” to help even these out. Unlike your brain, your recording equipment will likely not know how to interpret wild swings in volume. The DAW will then remove the noise based on the patterns you’ve given it, removing crackles and hisses from your file even when there’s other sound present. Don’t miss: Audio mixing 101: Everything you need to know to create your first track You should aim to have at least 5-10 seconds of noise to give the DAW, but that’s probably a little overkill. The cleaner the sample of noise is, the better it’s removed from the final recording. Many DAWs will have a de-noise option where you can select sections of nothing but noise to train the program to remove the right stuff. See where there are noise peaks on the voice recording, and then turn down the level until there’s no more (or very little) noise.
