Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (MIXING CONSOLE) Master Compressor Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/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.
Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (MIXING CONSOLE) ■ Editing and Saving the selected Master Compressor 6 Use the [1π†]/[2π†] buttons to select the frequency curve for the Compressor, or which frequencies compression is applied to.
