Ratio

Range: Off to Infinity
Specifies the Ratio of the performed compression.

Example: With a Ratio setting of 2:1 the compressor will reduce every 2dB above the
Threshold point to only 1dB.

Attack

Range: 0.3 to 100ms
The Attack time is the time the Compressor uses to reach the gain reduction specified
by the Ratio parameter.

Example: If the Input signal increases by 4dB above the set Threshold with a Ratio
set to 2:1 and the Attack time set to 20ms, the Compressor will use 20ms to reach a
Gain reduction of 2dB.

Release

Range: 20ms to 7s
The fallback time. The time it takes for the Compressor to release the attenuation of
the signal.
