Compressor / Limiter

A compressor is a threshold driven process used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal by applying gain

reduction when the signal level exceeds the threshold and applying ‘make-up gain’ to keep the overall level

consistent. The compressor includes an automatic make-up gain function.

A Limiter is a dynamics process used to limit peak signal level by reducing signal level as it approaches or exceeds the
threshold.
