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

Here are some videos on how to use ReaComp step-by-step:
