Glossary
The time required for a compressor or limiter to restore its gain to normal, after
the input signal has fallen below threshold.
The distortion caused by large high frequency signals superimposed onto a
normal signal, such as the 'sss' sounds of human voice.
Where output level is equal to input signal level.
A sudden burst of energy in an audio signal which only lasts for a small period
of time relative to the rest of the signal. The level of a transient can often
reach 10 times or so the normal operating level of the audio equipment, and
may cause distortion.
The pre-settable level above which a compressor or limiter will commence to
gain reduce.
