    Compression Cheat Sheet: Ratio Gain Reduction

    Uploaded by

    Peter Andrew Callen
    This document provides information on different types of audio compression techniques. It includes a description of common compression parameters such as threshold, ratio, attack, release, gain reduction, makeup gain, peak/RMS detection, knee, lookahead, and transfer curve type. The document also includes an illustration of a graphic compression meter and definitions of simple meter and gain reduction/activity.
