Master Compressor
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (soft-
ness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as
vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft
sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall
level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound. Compres-
sion can be used to increase sustain for electric guitar, smooth out the volume of a
vocal, or bring a drum kit or rhythm pattern further up-front in the mix. The instru-
ment has a sophisticated multi-band compressor that allows you to adjust the com-
pression effect for individual frequency bands—giving you detailed sonic control.
You can edit and save your own custom Compressor types, or conveniently select
from one of the presets.
