Standard dynamic compressor that lowers the volume of the loudest parts of the signal in order to help prevent clipping and distortion.
Inputs
Audio
The Audio line to compress.
Settings
Threshold
Sets the threshold (in dB) above which the compression will start taking effect.
Knee
Sets the range above the threshold (in dB) where the compression curve smoothly transitions to the compressed portion.
Ratio
Sets the amount of change (in dB), needed in the input for a 1 dB change in the output.
Release
Sets the amount of time, in seconds, required to increase the gain by 10 dB.
Attack
Sets the amount of time, in seconds, required to reduce the gain by 10 dB.
Outputs
Audio
The compressed Audio line.
Audio and Control lines (visualized with blue and orange, respectively) are both analogous to an analog signal. They can be used interchangeably, and, for example, an Audio output (blue) can be connected to a Control input (orange), or vice-versa.
