The Compressor’s attack time determines how fast the compressor will react on signals
exceeding the threshold. Shorter attack times will compress harder but might introduce a
“pumping” sound.

Whenever the signal surpasses the set Threshold, the Limiter 
processes it with a ratio of “infinite-to-one” (?:1) to limit the 
possible maximal level.

Softclip affects the way the Limiter works. In Off position, the signal will be limited
“hard” whenever the Threshold is surpassed. With Softclip active, limiting starts slightly
before the set Threshold and then glides into limiting using a much softer curve, making
the limiting process less audible. The Softclip LED above the Meters will indicate that
Softclip is working.

Range defines how far the Expander is able to lower the part of the signal which is
below the set Threshold value.
For example: When you set the Threshold to -40 dB, the Ratio to 1:2.0 and the Range to
-10 dB, the Expander will only work when your input signal exceeds -50 dB and doesn’t
go over -40 dB.

Release determines the time the Expander takes to return to the original signal level.
This parameter only has an effect, when the Threshold and Range parameters are set in
a way that the Expander is actually active.
