LoFi Compression
Can the alpha compressor also sound really bad? Of course not, but sometimes it just loves being,
well … different. In this LoFi Compression scenario, the use of the audio filters is the crucial point.
By reducing the high frequencies from 4 kHz on, everything sounds a little darker, while, at the
same time, the bottom experiences a great degree of additional punch. The chosen time param-
eters result in loud and twangy compression effects. The high ratio settings create a great amount
of compression, so that gain reduction values of 8-12 dB are absolutely normal. In this application
the mix controllers give you the option to blend this extreme sound with the original at will.
Extreme Settings
Even though the main focus of the alpha compressor lies on mastering applications, you can also
use it to find interesting and sometimes extreme settings for single channels or subgroups. Here is
just one of many examples. It is especially suitable for processing drum tracks effectively: The time
parameters with the additionally activated Auto Fast functions are very fast. The high ratio in feed
forward mode causes an extreme characteristic curve so that loud signals will be reduced signifi-
cantly. By doing so, very high gain reduction values of 20 dB and more can occur by all means. The
spatial elements now come into the foreground more articulately – it somehow sounds as if the
microphones had been placed a little bit further away during recording.
