If you are curious about what "dynamic range" means in the audio world? Wondering what's the difference between macrodynamics and microdynamics? Then check out EP 104 of the Inside The Mix podcast.

Ever wondered about the importance of sound dynamics in music production? Brace yourselves, as we dissect the core concept of dynamic range, the critical difference between the loudest and softest passages in your soundtrack. We sift through the notions of micro and macro dynamics and reveal how a subtle tweak in macro dynamics through gain riding and clip gain can transform your music into a masterpiece. We pull back the curtain on the four types of dynamic compression - upward compression, downward compression, upward expansion, and downward expansion. You'll also get a hands-on demonstration on mastering the art of macro dynamics in a DAW like Reaper.

As we move forward, we get our hands dirty with clip gain, a powerful tool to manipulate macro dynamics. We shed light on Reaper's unique staircase approach that cleverly makes volume changes almost imperceptible to your listeners. We not only revisit the four types of compression but also offer an exciting preview of our forthcoming episode 105, where we unveil the secrets of using upward compression to control macro dynamics. Whether you're a seasoned sound engineer or a budding music producer, this podcast episode is brimming with rich insights and actionable tips to help you conquer the world of sound dynamics. So, strap in for a thrilling journey into the heart of music production as we navigate the fascinating universe of sound dynamics!
