Plugin Specific Controls
The basic controls of ReaComp are:
- Threshold - Lower the threhsold to catch peaks, or delve deep into the innards of an audio signal.
- Pre-comp - Look-ahead compression.
- Attack - From 0ms to 500ms (0.5 seconds)
- Release - From 0ms to 5000ms (5 seconds)
- Classic attack
- Auto release
- Ratio - From 1:1 to 100:1 (inf)
- Knee Size - From 0dB to 24dB - This will tell the compressor to either start compressing as soon as a signal goes over the threshold (0dB) or start compressing after it goes over the threshold by a pre-determined amount (i.e. 1db to 24dB).
- Detector Input - This is used as a key input for sidechain applications
- Low Pass/High Pass - Choose to NOT affect a certain range of the signal being compressed - very useful to avoid inadvertent bass compression
- RMS size - RMS window-size. See: RMS-size
- Output Mix - the ratio of processed (wet) signal vs unprocessesed (dry) signal output by the effect
- Wet - The amount of processed signal in the output.
- Dry - The amount of unprocessed signal in the output.
- Preview filter
- Auto make-up
- AA
- Limit output
