Compressor Parameters
Threshold
The
Threshold
parameter
(scaled
in
dB)
sets
the
point
at
which
compression
will
start
to
occur
a]er
an
audio
signals
amplitude
exceeds
this
set
level.
Ratio
The
RaKo
parameter
sets
the
amount
of
gain
reducKon.
For
example,
if
the
raKo
is
set
2:1:
this
means
for
input
level
2dB
over
the
threshold,
1dB
will
be
output.
Attack
The
ASack
parameter
controls
the
onset
point
of
gain
reducKon
-­‐
The
speed
at
which
compression
occurs
a]er
the
signal
has
exceeded
the
threshold
value.
Release
The
Release
parameter
controls
the
offset
point
of
compression
-­‐
The
speed
at
which
the
compressor
stops
compressing
the
signal,
once
it
has
fallen
below
the
threshold
value.
High-Pass Filter (HPF)
The
High-­‐Pass
Filter
(HPF)
sets
the
frequency
value
at
which
to
prevent
prevent
low
frequencies
triggering
compression.
