Plugin Specific Controls

The basic controls of ReaComp are:

• Active - Enables or disables the current tab
• Threshold - Lower the threhsold to catch peaks, or delve deep into the innards of an audio signal.
• Ratio - From 1:1 to 100:1 (inf), the higher the ratio, the more marked the effect
• Auto make-up gain - Increases the gain when it drops below the threshold
• Program dependant release - ??
• Feedback detector - ??
• 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).
• Attack - From 0ms to 500ms (0.5 seconds) The time it take for the compression effect to reach full compression
• Release - From 0ms to 5000ms (5 seconds) The time it take for the compression effect to reach zero compression
• RMS size - This is an RMS detection function - generally, setting this value low gives more compression, and less compression when set higher.
• Log() scale automated frequencies
• Gain - The Gain for this tab
• Gain - The overall Gain for the plugin
• Add Band - Adds a band (tab)
• Delete Band - Deletes a band (tab)
• Rest to defaults -
• Solo current band (tab) -
• Tabs - Toggle the display of tabs
• Grid - Toggle the display of the grid
