## What it is ## What it is
Pascalcompressor is a dynamics processing plugin — a compressor — that reduces the level of audio that exceeds a threshold, making loud parts quieter and the overall signal more consistent. It's the kind of tool you use to glue a mix together, tame peaks, or shape the punch of a track.

The plugin's DSP (in `Source/Compressor.cpp`) implements a classic soft-knee compressor with the standard controls: 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 - **Input** - pre-gain applied to the signal before detection
- **Threshold** — the level above which compression kicks in - **Threshold** - the level above which compression kicks in
- **Ratio** — how much gain reduction is applied above the threshold - **Ratio** - how much gain reduction is applied above the threshold
- **Attack** — how fast the compressor responds once the signal crosses 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 - **Release** - how fast it lets go after the signal drops back below
- **Makeup gain** — compensates for the level lost to compression - **Makeup gain** - compensates for the level lost to compression
- **Dry/wet** — blend between the uncompressed and compressed signal, handy for parallel 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.
