There Are Only 4 Ways to Compress Anything

Compression can seem complicated.

…But it’s not! And I can prove it to you.

Ultimately, there are only 4 ways to compress anything. And I can teach you all of them in minutes.

And it gets better than that: When you focus in on these 4 ways to compress, and learn to hear the differences between them, it completely UNLOCKS compression in your brain forever.

It also makes more advanced concepts and techniques around compression much easier to understand. (IF you even need to mess around with them at all.)

It’s time for some show and tell, because we are going to make using compressors tastefully and effectively simpler for you than it has ever been.
