Read time 1 minuteLast updated 12 days ago
The Audio Compressor Effect reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds by narrowing or "compressing" an audio signal's dynamic range.
This compressor is a limiter with a fixed ratio of ∞:1. This means that the compressor clamps the signal output when it reaches the threshold.
