why would you use a sound compressor....?
varying dynamics makes music interesting going from gental sounds and rising to loud is used in classical music all the time. also in rap ludacris for example raises his voice to emphasize words. im under the impression you cant to that with a compressor, (im learning about recording)
thats interesting tigger thank you. does that mean a live orchestra would sound better than a recording? as apposed to live pop (Bad) singers and recordings
Sound compression does not completely eliminate changes in the dynamics of music, it just reduces them. I agree with you that changing dynamics makes music interesting, so sound compression, if done excessively will make the music sound bland and dull.
However, there is number of reasons why compression can be useful, mainly to do with the way the music is recorded or distributed.
Compression is often applied to music which is going to be reproduced in noisy surroundings, for example in cars, in public places such as supermarkets. By making the loud parts less loud, the general volume can be increased without overloading the reproducing system, so the quieter parts become louder while the loud parts remain much the same. This makes the music more audible over the ambient noise.
The same argument applies to transmission of music over a FM radio system. There will always be some noise in the receiver, and a limit to the amplitude of the loudest signal which can be transmitted without overload, so compression has two useful effects - a) it ensures that the transmitter will never be overloaded, b) it allows the general amplitude to be increased so that quieter passages of music will not get lost in the noise. Opinion polls on FM radio reception indicate that when people are listening to pop music they often rate moderately compressed sound as preferable. Apparently it has more 'punch' when heard over the radio.
Similar considerations apply when the music is transmitted over a digital system or stored on a CD or MP3 player. The digital system has a limit to the largest signal it can reproduce (all digital bits set), so the loudest part of the music can never be larger than that. Compression can be used to make sure that the encoded music signal always fits into the scope of the available bits. Gentle reduction of amplitude which compression achieves is preferable (sounds better) to abrupt limiting which would otherwise occur. The dynamic range (difference in amplitude between loudest reproducible signal and noise) of digital systems is much larger than that of FM radios, or old fashioned vinyl, so there is less need for compression in digital systems.
Hi Ash - yes - certainly ! I mainly listen to classical music, and I have a good FM radio and also a DAB receiver both of which I use for BBC Radio 3. The difference is not large, but when listening to choral music on FM, when a big climax comes along the massed voices seem to retreat into the back of the speakers as the compression cuts in, and the effect can be very disappointing. The effect is much less noticeable on DAB, or CD but I am sure the climaxes would be even more striking and exciting in reality !
