Bypass
Bypass all the internal processing. The sound out is the same as the sound
in, leaving the sound unaltered.
Compressor
A compressor is an effect that reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal.
In Badass 2 this is a soft-knee RMS compressor which gives a result similar
to that of analog compressor.
Threshold
Changes the threshold on which the compressor starts to have an effect from
-40 dB to 10 dB. When the threshold is low a larger portion of the signal is
processed.
Attack
Controls how fast the compressor acts when it is decreasing gain to reach
the level determined by the ratio from 0.01 ms to 600 ms.
Release
Controls how the compressor acts when it is increasing gain to the level
determined by the ratio from 0 ms to 2000 ms.
Ratio
Controls the amount of gain reduction. With a ratio of 6:1 if the inputs level is
6 dB over the threshold the output signal will be 1 dB over the threshold.
Gain
Controls the gain correction after the compressor from -30 dB to 30 dB.
