Value Range/Unit
Description
Boost
0 - 24 dB
Amplifies the compression result to compensate for the loss in
levels caused by the Ratio setting. This parameter applies to the
full dB spectrum of the track (threshold settings are ignored).
Ratio
1.00:1 - ∞:1
Sets the amount of compression above the Threshold as a ratio
compared to the residual dB level above the Threshold. A Ratio
of 1:1 equals no compression. All other parameters won´t have
any effect.
Threshold
-∞ - 0 dB
Creates a mask or corridor in dB where the compressor is not
applied.
Knee
Hard/Soft
Determines whether the compression is faded in (soft) or
whether it is applied according to the parameter settings im-
mediately (Hard) as soon as the threshold value is exceeded.
“Soft” creates a soft line of transition around the set threshold.
Soft “blurs” the Threshold.
Attack
0.09 – 100 ms
Sets a delay time for the compressor to start working, as soon as
the level exceeds the Threshold. This way you can keep the
attack of the signal and let the compression work only on the
tail above a set threshold.
Release
15.5 ms – 6 s
Sets a delay time for the compressor to stop working, as soon as
the level drops below the Threshold.
Hint: Boost, Ratio and Threshold settings update the input-output curve. Knee, Attack and
Release values are not visible in the input-output curve.
