COMP (Compressor)
This effect compresses the volume of the input
signal. It can also be used as a limiter to suppress
only the peaks in order to prevent distortion.
(Example) For INS. FX: KICK

Low Freq
20 Hz–12.5 kHz Low range center frequency
Low Q
Shelving, 0.5–16
Switch to a shelving-type EQ, or ad-
just the steepness of the response
curve around the center frequency
of the Low equalizer
Mid Gain
-20–+20 dB Midrange boost/cut amount
Mid Freq
20 Hz–20.0 kHz Midrange center frequency
Mid Q
0.5–16
Steepness of the response curve
around the center frequency of the
Mid equalizer
High Gain
-20–+20 dB High range boost/cut amount
High Freq
400 Hz–20.0 kHz High range center frequency
High Q
Shelving, 0.5–16
Switch to a shelving-type EQ, or ad-
just the steepness of the response
curve around the center frequency
of the High equalizer
