Compress
Indicates compression.
Ratio
Sets compression ratio.
Threshold
Sets the threshold level above which compression begins.
Threshold Range
Sets the range of level, in which the ratio gradually alters from 1:1 to the value set by the ratio
parameter (soft knee function).
Attack Time
Sets the time it takes to respond to the input signal. A compressor might provide a degree of
control over how quickly it acts. The 'attack phase' is the period when the compressor is
decreasing gain to reach the level that is determined by the ratio.
