Dynamic Processors: Compressor Flashcards
1
Q
A compressor is a tool that controls the dynamic range of a ?
A
Signal.
2
Q
Once the signal goes above the threshold on a compressor the device begins to reduce the volume of the signal set by the ? ?
A
Ratio control.
3
Q
If the ratio is set to 2:1, for every two ? that the volume exceeds the ?, the compressor will only allow one dB out.
A
dB.
Threshold.
4
Q
Compressors contain attack and release settings to control how fast or slow it operates once the signal has gone above the ?
A
Threshold.
5
Q
With ? ?, when a compressor has a hard-knee setting it operates as described. With a ?-? setting, the level of compression’s gradually introduced so that volumes below the threshold are compressed and the threshold point is less obvious.
A
Knee-control.
Soft-knee.
