thus preserving “punch” and a more natural sound. If these peaks
overload subsequent stages, you might want a very short a

time so
the compressor can react quickly.
Note that even with the shortest attaCK, the compressor still needs some
time to analyse the signal. Activating the l

button delays the
audio by a very short amount (32 samples) so that the compression
algorithm can foresee peaks before they happen, and be ready to process
them the instant they occur.
Label Function Range Unit
Threshold Sets the level above which compression begins. -48…0 dB
Ratio
Sets the amount by which the signal is compressed. At 1 there is no compres-
sion and the output signal equals the input signal. At the maximum setting
signal levels are “clamped” to the threshold level (i.e., the compressor acts as a
limiter).
1..[inf]
Attack
Sets the time to reach maximum compression once a signal exceeds the thresh-
old level.
0.1..10 ms
Release
Sets the time for compression to cease after a signal goes below the threshold
level.
10..1000
ms
Look Ahead
The compressor delays the signal for a few ms, enabling the algorithm to “know”
what is coming. This improves the clarity of transients in the sound, if wanted.
On/Off
Out Gain Controls the output level of the compressed signal. -24..+24 dB
