•
Attack:
Sets the speed with which the compression will react to an incoming
signal. Short attack times mean the compressor will immediately affect an
incoming signal. Longer attack times allow momentary peaks to slip through
before the compressor has a chance to affect on the signal. In some cases this
can be desirable as it allows a signal to maintain some of its natural "attack"
transients before it starts working.
•
Mode:
This drop-down menu selects whether the bars for both compression and
expansion (Above & Below), or just the bars for compression (Above Only) are
displayed
•
Release:
Sets the release time of the compressor. Generally, this is set in such a
way that the output of the compressor sounds natural and transparent. However,
many contemporary artists deliberately choose to set this to more extreme
values in order to achieve "pumping" and "breathing" artifacts. Go ahead and
experiment—maybe you'll stumble upon a sound you love!
