Acoustica Mixcraft 7 - Manual (Page 232)

Compressors reduce the difference in volume between quiet sounds and loud sounds
in a recording. This effect is often used on vocals and drums, where some portions
of the sound are very quiet, and other portions are very loud. Reducing a recording’s
dynamic range makes mixing far easier and, dependent upon settings, can impart
“punch” and impact.
ACOUSTICA DELAY
Also known as “echo,” delay is one of the oldest and simplest effects. Delay takes
incoming audio, waits a specified amount of time, and replays the audio, creating an
echo effect. The Feedback parameter allows a portion of the signal to be sent back into
the delay effect, creating additional repeats of the echo.
