Dive into the world of Lofi Music production with the Lofi Music Academy Podcast! In this essential episode, we demystify compression, a powerful tool often misunderstood but crucial for giving your tracks that signature lo-fi feel. Learn how to use compression effectively to glue your entire mix together, add warmth, and achieve a balanced, cohesive sound without sucking the life out of your music.

Discover what exactly compression is – it controls the dynamic range of your audio by bringing quieter sounds up and taming louder peaks, creating a more consistent mix. We'll break down key techniques like soft compression for mix cohesion, parallel compression for punchy drums, and side chain compression for that classic Loi groove and subtle pulsing effect. Understand vital compressor settings such as threshold, ratio, attack, release, and soft knee, and why trusting your ears is paramount when adjusting them.
