Making the System Compressor Settings
(COMPRESSOR)
This is a stereo compressor (limiter) that is applied to the nal
output.
With separate settings for the high-frequency range, midrange, and
low-frequency range, this reduces inconsistencies in volume levels
by compressing the sound when the volume exceeds a preset
volume level.
