Dynamics
The compressor is basically an automatic, dynamic volume controller.
The volume dynamics of a track will be limited by the settings; loud
passages will stay loud, and the volume of silent passages will be
raised. Compression is normally useful if you want to make your
material sound more powerful and penetrating. The grade of
compression can be adjusted using the ratio controller. The threshold
is controlled by the threshold button and attack and release can also
be controlled by the corresponding buttons.
The processing of the track is as "prospective" as with high-end
professional studio equipment. This means that there are no peak
overrides (blasting, clipping) or other disturbances, since the
algorithm cannot be "surprised" by sudden peaks.
Sensor field: The sensor field of the compressors can be
manipulated intuitively by mouse movement, and this will change the
colour of the graphic and the effect settings for your reference.
Ratio: This parameter controls the compression ratio.
Threshold: Adjusts the threshold above or below the active
compression.
Attack: Adjusts the algorithm's response delay to increasing levels.
Short attack times can result in a ”pumping” sound, since the volume
will be raised or lowered very quickly.
Release: This value controls the algorithm's reaction delay to falling
levels.
A/B: If you chose a preset value for the effect and then changed it
manually, you can compare the original sound settings with the new
ones pressing the A/B buttons.
