Really good find DOX, so much that I saved the page as a favorite and signed up for the news letter. I've been working on a write covering this same topic, so this saved me a lot of work...I will add some other stuff later though, but it's all relative to the punching bag analogy and how compression relates to hip hop music more specifically.

Dope, that'd be helpful! I remember when I was trying to understand the concept I was looking for alot of non-technical info. So a comprehensive guide/article with a bunch of views/concepts is def useful!

"used lightly on peaky material, it can be a very transparent way of reducing the dynamic range."

This is typically how i use my limiters.


Pretty good analogy.
There is another on youtube. I'll post if I find it.
