Most basic compressors have a threshold, ratio and make up gain control. | ||
*Threshold* | |||
The threshold is where, above a certain level of loudness, such as -18dB (where 0dB is maximum relative loudness) the compressor begins reducing the dynamic range or maximum peak values of the audio signal. | |||
