8.1 Dynamics
8.1.1 Compressor
The Compressor on the software
This is a classic compression effect to control the dynamic information of an audio signal.
You can use the Compressor to fatten up your drums or to control signals that have a very
wide dynamic range. In the Library Project “Pounder” it is used heavily on pretty much all
Groups, creating a very dense sound.
Depth
t
hrEShold
This value determines the threshold at which the
Compressor starts to work.
a
moUnt
The amount of the Compressor effect, sometimes called
Ratio in typical applications.
k
nEE
This parameter defines how the Compressor starts to work:
with a low setting, the transition into compression is soft,
whereas with a high setting, the Compressor abruptly starts
to work once the threshold is reached.
Time
a
ttaCk
With Attack you can adjust how fast the Compressor reacts
on the incoming signal: the more you dial it to the right,
the slower it will react.
r
ElEaSE
The time the compressor will take to not compressing any
more after the input signal falls below the threshold.
Output
G
aIn
Simple Gain Control to adjust the volume of the resulting
signal; sometimes called “make-up gain” as it can be used
to compensate for any reduction in the signal induced by
the settings above.
