Description
A Compressor is an automatic volume control. Loud sounds over a certain threshold are reduced in
level while quiet sounds remain untreated. In this way it reduces the dynamic range of an audio
signal. This may be done for aesthetic reasons, to deal with technical limitations of audio
equipment, or to improve audibility of audio in noisy environments.
Compression reduces the level of the loud sounds, but not the quiet sounds, thus, the level can be
raised to a point where the quiet sounds are more audible without the loud sounds being too loud.
Compressor Stereo is the same that the Compressor component, but this works on the both stereo
channels. The detection is done on the both input signals. The same compression is applied on the
both output signals.
