It's the kind of tool you use to glue a mix together, tame peaks, or shape the punch of a track. ## What it does The plugin's DSP (in `Source/Compressor.cpp`) implements a classic soft-knee compressor with the standard controls: -- **Input** — pre-gain applied to the signal before detection -- **Threshold** — the level above which compression kicks in -- **Ratio** — how much gain reduction is applied above the threshold -- **Attack** — how fast the compressor responds once the signal crosses the threshold -- **Release** — how fast it lets go after the signal drops back below -- **Makeup gain** — compensates for the level lost to compression -- **Dry/wet** — blend between the uncompressed and compressed signal, handy for parallel compression +- **Input** - pre-gain applied to the signal before detection +- **Threshold** - the level above which compression kicks in +- **Ratio** - how much gain reduction is applied above the threshold +- **Attack** - how fast the compressor responds once the signal crosses the threshold +- **Release** - how fast it lets go after the signal drops back below +- **Makeup gain** - compensates for the level lost to compression +- **Dry/wet** - blend between the uncompressed and compressed signal, handy for parallel compression It uses a feed-forward design with a mono-summed detector and a one-pole envelope follower, so the gain reduction feels smooth and "glued" to the source. ## Why it's called Pascalcompressor -A friend of mine is named Pascal.
