OVERLOUD GEMS COMP76
COMP76
COMP76 is a top quality FET compressor modeled after one of the most popular hardware com-
pressor units. It fi ts well on a whole mix, but its best application is on a single instrument or voice
track.
This diagram describes the COMP76 internal sections and the way they are interconnected.
INPUT - Adjusts the level of the input signal
and the threshold. Higher levels correspond
to increased amounts of limiting or compres-
sion.
ATTACK - Sets the time it takes the COMP76 to re-
act to a peak of the input signal with gain reduction. The attack time ranges from 20 microsec-
6
When a short attack time is set, gain reduction happens immedi-
ately catching transient signals and reducing their level.
The audible result is to soften the sound. Longer attack times let
short transients pass before the limiting begins.
