8.1 Dynamics
8.1.1 Compressor
The Compressor on the software
This is a classic compression effect to control the dynamic information of an audio signal.
You can use the Compressor to fatten up your drums or to control signals that have a very
wide dynamic range. In the Library Project “Pounder” it is used heavily on pretty much all
Groups, creating a very dense sound.
Depth
thrEShold
This value determines the threshold at which the
Compressor starts to work.
amoUnt
The amount of the Compressor effect, sometimes called
Ratio in typical applications.
knEE
This parameter denes how the Compressor starts to work:
with a low setting, the transition into compression is soft,
whereas with a high setting, the Compressor abruptly starts
to work once the threshold is reached.
Time
attaCk
With Attack you can adjust how fast the Compressor reacts
on the incoming signal: the more you dial it to the right,
the slower it will react.
rElEaSE
The time the compressor will take to not compressing any
more after the input signal falls below the threshold.
Output
GaIn
Simple Gain Control to adjust the volume of the resulting
signal; sometimes called “make-up gain” as it can be used
to compensate for any reduction in the signal induced by
the settings above.
