Compressor/Limiters

Hi planet-h,

For the Compressor/Limiters, are the x:1 ratios meant to be compression (with the higher x values acting as a limiter) and the 1:x ratios being expansion (with high x values acting as a gate)? Thanks!

Yes, that's correct. But take note that depending on the compressor or limiter type you use (also the gate effect), the parameters have a limited range are combined on some sliders to make it easier to control them. E.g. the compressor value range goes to expansion, but not as far to become a gate. Therefore there is a separate gate effect.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.
