It’s a VCA-style compressor, making it incredibly clean and precise, as well as fast and responsive. This allows for versatility and can easily be used on any kind of audio signal: drums, guitar, vocals, etc.

What is Soft Compressor?

Input gain: the level of audio signal going into the compressor

Threshold: the level in dB below 0 at which the compressor starts reacting

Ratio: the amount of gain reduction (4:1 ratio = for every 4dB of volume only 1dB passes through = 3dB gain reduction)

Makeup: recovers the volume lost during compression

Attack: the number in ms at which the compressor starts reacting after hitting the threshold

Release: the number in ms at which the compressor “lets go” after compressing

Trim: the level off audio signal going out of the compressor

What controls does if offer?
