ReaComp is a full-featured compressor plug-in.

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 - true look-ahead compression - WOW!
• Attack - from 0ms to 500ms (5 seconds!)
• Release - from 0ms to 5000ms (50 seconds!)
• Use Auto release - you got it ... automatic release! woo hoo!
• 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 - this is an RMS detection function - generally, setting this value low gives more compression, and less compression when set higher.
