For every signal that goes over the threshold, it gets compressed according to a certain ratio.įor example: A compressor with a threshold at -10dB and a 3:1 ratio is a nice starting point for vocals. The ratio is where you determine how much compression you are going to apply to a signal that goes over your threshold. But what do some of the parameters on a standard audio compressor do? In this post, we’ll be looking at the ratio. Everyone has an opinion on compression and everyone uses it differently.
