Compressor

About

Compressor is a dynamics plugin by x42-plugins. It applies auto makeup gain fixed at -10 dBFS/RMS, which keeps perceived loudness across a range of thresholds and ratios. Compression responds to signal power (RMS), which tracks perceived loudness rather than digital peak level. A Hold setting freezes the current gain when the signal falls below the threshold, which limits gain buildup on the noise floor.

What it sounds like

The vendor describes the compressor as sounding very nice in a downward compression style.
