Standard Compressor

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

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.

Indicates the amount of compression of the signal.

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

Sets the time after which the gain returns to the original level when the signal drops below the threshold. If Auto Release is activated, the compressor automatically finds the best release setting for the audio material.

Compensates for output gain loss that is caused by compression. If Auto Make-Up is activated, the output is automatically adjusted for gain loss.
