Compressor
A compressor provides a form of automatic level control. By attenuating
high levels, thus effectively reducing the dynamic range, the compressor
makes it much easier to control signals and set appropriate fader levels.
Reducing the dynamic range also means that recording levels can be set
higher, therefore improving the signal-to-noise performance.
Compressor (CMP) parameters:
Threshold determines the level of input signal required to trigger the
compressor. Signals at a level below the threshold pass through unaffected.
Signals at and above the threshold level are compressed by the amount
specified using the Ratio parameter. The trigger signal is determined using
the KEY IN parameter.
Ratio controls the amount of compression - the change in output signal
level relative to change in input signal level. With a 2:1 ratio, for example, a
10 dB change in input level (above the threshold) results in a 5 dB change in
output level. For a 5:1 ratio, a 10 dB change in input level (above the
threshold) results in a 2 dB change in output level.
Attack controls how soon the signal is compressed once the compressor
has been triggered. With a fast attack time, the signal is compressed almost
immediately. With a slow attack time, the initial transient of a sound passes
through unaffected.
Out Gain sets the compressor’s output signal level. Compression tends to
reduce the average signal level. Out Gain can be used to counter this level
reduction and set an appropriate level for the next stage in the audio path.
