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 - Look-ahead compression.
- Attack - From 0ms to 500ms (5 seconds)
- Release - From 0ms to 5000ms (50 seconds)
- Use Auto release - Automatic 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 - this is an RMS detection function - generally, setting this value low gives more compression, and less compression when set higher.
Tutorials
