Compressor
This effect reduces the dynamic range of a sound. This way, the sound gains headroom. You can
use this extra headroom to make the overall sound louder again.
On/Off
Activates/Deactivates the effect.
Attack (0.1 to 100 ms)
Determines how fast the compressor responds. If the attack time is long, more of the
initial part of the signal passes through unprocessed.
Release (10 to 1000 ms or Auto mode)
Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level. If Auto Release
is activated, the plug-in automatically finds the best release setting for the audio
material.
Auto Release
Activate this to set the release time automatically. The Compressor analyzes the input
sound continuously to find the optimal setting.
Compression Ratio
Sets the amount of gain reduction for sounds that are louder than the threshold. The
higher the ratio, the more the output is lowered.
For example, if the ratio is set to 2:1 and the amplitude of the sound is 4 dB above the
threshold, the output is lowered by 2 dB.
If the amplitude is 8 dB above the threshold, the output is lowered by 4 dB.
Input
Determines the compression amount. The higher the input gain, the more
compression is applied.
Output
Sets the output gain.
