Compressor
Compresses signals that exceed a threshold. Narrows the dynamic range of the signal, making it
easier to mix or record signals with a wide dynamic range such as vocals or piano music. Both mono
channel and stereo channel compressors are provided.
Mono channel compressors have one input, one output, and one KeyIn input. Stereo channel
compressors have two inputs, two outputs, and one KeyIn input.
Double-click a component to open the component editor for it. The parameters are the same for mono
channel and stereo channel components.
