Compressors
A compressor is an effect that changes the dynamic range of a signal by automatically reducing its gain.
Options: Compressor Master, Compressor Opto, Compressor VCA, and Compressor Vintage.
Compressor Master
This is the most transparent
compressor, able to perform
substantial volume adjustments
without artifacts.
Compressor Opto
The Opto Compressor is modeled
after a vintage compressor type
using an optical circuit to control
the volume reduction of the input
signal. These compressors are
usually associated with soft and
unobtrusive attack and release
characteristics.
