Dynamic range compression with configurable threshold, ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain.
| Parameter | Type | Range | Default | Unit | Description |
|---|
| Threshold | Float | -60 .. 0 | -20 | dB | Level above which compression starts |
| Ratio | Float | 1 .. 20 | 4 | :1 | Compression amount (input:output) |
| Knee | Float | 0 .. 20 | 6 | dB | Softness of threshold transition |
| Parameter | Type | Range | Default | Unit | Description |
|---|
| Attack | Float | 0.1 .. 100 | 5 | ms | Time to reach full compression |
| Release | Float | 10 .. 1000 | 50 | ms | Time to return to unity gain |
| Lookahead | Float | 0 .. 20 | 0 | ms | Pre-delay for transient catching |
| Program Dependent Release | Bool | On / Off | Off | - | Adapts release to signal content |
| Parameter | Type | Range | Default | Unit | Description |
|---|
| Makeup Gain | Float | -24 .. 24 | 0 | dB | Post-compression gain boost |
| Mix | Float | 0 .. 1 | 1 | % | Dry/wet blend (parallel comp) |
| Auto Makeup | Bool | On / Off | Off | - | Auto-compensate for gain reduction |
| Measured Auto Makeup | Bool | On / Off | Off | - | Makeup based on measured reduction |
| Parameter | Type | Range | Default | Unit | Description |
