Control Inputs
LimThres
hold
Type Default Value
float32 -12.0
Description: The maximum peak level in dB allowed in the output
signal. -12 corresponds to 0.25 linear, or 1/4 of a “full scale” signal.
OutGain
Type Default Value
float32 1.0
Description: A gain applied to the signal after both the compressor
and limiter stages.
Ratio
Type Default Value
float32 4.0
Description: Controls the aggressiveness of the compressor. A high
ratio is more aggressive and means more gain reduction will occur
when the signal goes above the threshold. Specifically, a ratio of 4.0
(4:1) means a signal of 4 dB above the threshold will leave the
component only 1 dB above the threshold. A ratio of 20 or higher is
equivalent to (
∞ :1), meaning the average level of the signal will
never exceed the threshold.
Release
Type Default Value
float32 50.0
Description: Determines how quickly the gain is turned up when
the level goes below the threshold. Values are in dB/sec. Higher
releases produce a more aggressive rate of gain increase.
Side-
Chain
Enable
Type Default Value
boolean False
Description: If True, the SideChain audio input will control the
gain reduction on the InSignal, rather than the InSignal itself.
Control Inputs
Threshold
Type Default Value
float32 -24.0
Description: The average (RMS) signal level above which gain
reduction will take place. Values are in dB.
Audio Output
OutSignal
Type Default Value
audio n/a
Description: The processed signal that has gone through the
compressor and limiter stages.
