Understand the Compressor through its parts: 1 - Sound Envelope - Transient - formed by: 1.1 Attack 1.2 Decay 1.3 Sustain 1.4 Release The Compressor changes the shape of this transient, changing the dynamics, harmonics, among other very interesting features that we can delve into in more detail in questions and in future videos. 2 - Threshold: determines the level at which the compressor starts to act. The level is given in different ways, depending on the compressor. 3 - Ratio: determines how much the compressor will act on the dynamics (compression rate). 4 - Time: determines how long it will take for the compressor to start and stop acting after the Threshold is reached. 4.1 - Attack: time until it acts after reaching the Threshold; 4.2 - Release: time until it stops acting after returning below the Threshold; 4.3 - Time Constant: is analogous to the previous ones. Sometimes constant and acts for Attack and Release. 5 - Knee: determines how abrupt or smooth the Compressor will act after reaching the Threshold. With knowledge about these parameters, you should have much more autonomy and efficiency when using your compressor!
