Compressor
The compressor is an automated dynamic volume control. It limits overall
dynamics, maintains the volume of loud passages so they stay loud, and
increases the volume of low passages. A compressor can be put to good use
for e. g bass recordings and vocals, but also as a master effect in the mixer for
subsequent editing of the overall sound.
Processing is carried out using a "look-ahead" method, similar to high-quality
studio appliances. There are no peak overmodulations or other artifacts as the
algorithm can never be 'surprised' by sudden level peaks.
Ratio: This parameter controls the compression level.
Threshold: This sets the volume threshold below and above which
compression is applied.
Attack: Sets the algorithm's reaction time to increasing sound levels. Short
attack times can create an undesirable "pumping" sound, as the volume is
quickly reduced or increased correspondingly.
Release: Sets the algorithm's reaction time to falling sound levels.
Gain: The gain controller amplifies the compressed signal.
Invert phase
This function moves the object to the rear loudspeakers of a dolby surround
system.
Quite an impressive effect for the audio tracks of video productions.
