Read time 1 minuteLast updated 7 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.
