Gain
Boosts or attenuates the range of the set band
frequency determined by Q and increases or
decreases the audio signal by the set dB value.
Q-Factor
Determines the bandwidth/quality of the bell filter.
Determines the shape of the curve around the
curvature point. High values lead to a sharp
change in curvature and a narrow bandwidth.
Low values lead to a bulbous curve of the bell, so
that more frequencies of the environment are
captured by the gain filter (high bandwidth).
Boost
Boosts the compression result to compensate
for the level loss caused by ratio. This parame-
ter affects the entire dB spectrum of the
track. (Threshold settings are ignored).
Ratio
Determines the compression rate for signals
above the threshold.
The higher the value, the more the dynamics
are limited.
Treshold
Threshold value for the compression. Ampli-
tudes below the threshold remain free of
compression.
Knee
Determines the threshold value, how the
compression starts. With "Hard", the compres-
sor starts abruptly. "Soft" provides a gradual
transition between compression and non-
compression around the threshold.
Attack
Sets a delay for the start of compression as
soon as a signal exceeds the threshold. This
allows amplitudes in the attack to remain
unprocessed.
Release
Sets the delay after which the compressor
stops working as soon as the level of a signal
falls below the threshold again.
