When this is set very low, it yields considerably less compression than when it is set high. Setting it high (say, over 1 second) would be interesting for musical compression while setting it low might work for soft limiting.

Fairlychildish

The adjustable settings on this interesting compressor are threshold, bias, AGC, Time constant, and Level Detector RMS window. There are two non-adjustable settings "current comp ratio" and "gain reduction", which move automatically with the program singal. Here is a rundown of how to use fairlychildish

With the bias set low and the threshold set to *just* catch peaks you get fairly hard ratios (30:1 etc) - and as you lower the threshold, the ratio goes up a LOT - to like 300:1 ... and the sound of the compression is rather punchy - which is interesting.

with the bias set high and the threshold just catching the peaks you get extremely gentle compression, with the ratio fluctuating from around 1.1 to 3:1. As you lower the threshold, the ratio goes up ... to around the 15:1 mark give or take.

Time constant I can't explain what it does, but I know that setting it higher gave some really nice, smooth results - even on the harder compression settings. It reminded me of the waves SSL G-comp. (I remember someone saying something about not wanting the SSL comp after hearing one of Scott's plugins ... I wonder if this was this the one?)

AGC This is the 'auto gain compensation', and is adjustable between Left/Right and Lat/Vert. the difference seems very subtle between the two, and the default is Left/Right.

the level detector rms window slider When this is set very low, it yields considerably less compression than when it is set high. Setting it high (say, over 1 second) would be interesting for musical compression while setting it low might work for soft limiting.
