Can the alpha compressor also sound really
bad? Of course not, but sometimes it can be,
well … different.
In this LoFi compression scenario, the use of
the audio filters is the crucial point. By reducing
the high frequencies from 4 kHz on, everything
sounds a little darker, while the bottom end ex-
periences a great degree of additional punch at
the same time.
The chosen time parameters result in loud and
twangy compression effects. The high ratio set-
tings create a great amount of compression,
so that gain reduction values of 8-12 dB are
absolutely normal. In this application, the mix
controllers give you the option to blend this ex-
treme sound with the original at will.
