Compressor

About

Compressor is a dynamics plugin by Kilohearts. It evens out audio volume by lowering the level when the signal is loud. Its threshold sets where gain reduction starts, and attack and release times set how fast it acts. It can measure the signal in RMS mode or peak mode, and can calculate attenuation from a secondary input.

What it sounds like

It helps shape the dynamics of the sound at both the initial attack and the sustain tail.

Features

• Adjustable threshold
• Attack and release time controls
• Ratio control for reduction amount
• RMS and peak detection modes
• Makeup gain to compensate output volume
• Sidechain attenuation from a secondary input
• Meters for input level, threshold and attenuation
