Compressor

The Compressor module allows a signal to be split into two frequency bands. You can specify the level, bandwidth, and compressor characteristics for each band.

Band Settings

On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the corresponding section.

Soloing Frequency Bands

To solo a frequency band, activate the S button in each section. Only one band can be soloed at a time.

Add/Remove Band

Allow you to add and remove bands.

Standard

Allows you to create smooth compression effects.

THRESH (-60 to 0 dB)

Signal levels above the set threshold trigger the compressor.

ATT (0.1 to 100 ms)

Determines how fast the compressor responds. If the attack time is long, more of the initial part of the signal passes through unprocessed.

REL (10 to 1000 ms)

Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level. If Auto Release is activated, the plug-in automatically finds a suitable release setting for the audio.

Ratio

Sets the amount of gain reduction applied to signal above the set threshold.

Mix

Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the wet signal.

Compressor curve display

Graphically illustrates the compressor curve that is shaped according to the Threshold and Ratio parameter settings.

Output

Sets the output gain.

Tube

This versatile compressor with integrated tube-simulation allows you to produce smooth and warm compression effects.

Input

In combination with the Output setting, this parameter determines the compression amount. The higher the input gain setting and the lower the output gain setting, the more compression is applied.

ATT (0.1 to 100 ms)

Determines how fast the compressor responds. If the attack time is long, more of the initial part of the signal passes through unprocessed.

REL (10 to 1000 ms)

Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level. If Auto Release is activated, the plug-in automatically finds the best release setting for the audio.

Drive

Controls the amount of tube saturation.

Mix

Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the wet signal.

Output

Sets the output gain.
