Standard Compressor

The Standard Compressor allows you to create smooth compression effects. Drag the compressor up or down to change its position in the signal flow.

Threshold

Determines the level where the compressor kicks in. Only signal levels above the set threshold are processed.

Ratio

Sets the amount of gain reduction that is applied to signals above the set threshold. A ratio of 3:1 means that for every 3 dB the input level increases, the output level increases by 1 dB.

Attack

Determines how fast the compressor responds to signals above the set threshold. The longer the attack time, the more of the early part of the signal passes through unprocessed.

Release

Sets the time it takes for the gain to return to its original level when the signal drops below the threshold.

AutoMakeUp

Automatically adjusts the output for gain loss.

Auto Release

Automatically finds the best Release setting for the audio material.

MakeUp Gain

Compensates for output gain loss caused by compression.

Gain Reduction LED

Indicates the level of compression of the signal.
