Silver Compressor
The Silver Compressor is a simplified version of the Compressor. It has fewer
parameters and requires less CPU power.
Silver Compressor Parameters
 Gain Reduction display: Shows the amount of compression applied as the audio
plays.
 Threshold slider and field: Sets the threshold for the Compressor (the level above
which the signal is reduced.)
 Attack knob and field: Sets the attack time (the amount of time it takes for the
compressor to react when the signal exceeds the threshold).
 Release knob and field: Sets the release time (the amount of time it takes for the
compressor to stop reducing the signal once the signal falls below the threshold).
 Ratio slider and field: Sets the compression ratio (the ratio by which the signal is
reduced when it exceeds the threshold.)
Using the Silver Compressor
The parameters of the Silver Compressor work in the same way as on the Compressor.
