@title{(compander input control thresh slopeBelow slopeAbove clampTime relaxTime)}
|
|
|
|
Compressor, expander, limiter, gate, ducker. General purpose
|
|
dynamics processor.
|
|
|
|
input: The signal to be compressed / expanded / gated.
|
|
|
|
control: The signal whose amplitude determines the gain applied to
|
|
the input signal. Often the same as in (for standard
|
|
gating or compression) but should be different for
|
|
ducking.
|
|
|
|
thresh: Control signal amplitude threshold, which determines the
|
|
break point between slopeBelow and slopeAbove. Usually
|
|
0..1. The control signal amplitude is calculated using RMS.
|
|
|
|
slopeBelow: slope of the amplitude curve below the threshold. If
|
|
this slope > 1.0, the amplitude will drop off more
|
|
quickly the softer the control signal gets when the
|
|
control signal is close to 0 amplitude, the output
|
|
should be exactly zero -- hence, noise gating. Values <
|
|
1.0 are possible, but it means that a very low-level
|
|
control signal will cause the input signal to be
|
|
amplified, which would raise the noise floor.
|
|
|
|
slopeAbove: Same thing, but above the threshold. Values < 1.0
|
|
achieve compression (louder signals are attenuated) >
|
|
1.0, you get expansion (louder signals are made even
|
|
louder). For 3:1 compression, you would use a value of
|
|
1/3 here.
|
|
|
|
clampTime: The amount of time it takes for the amplitude adjustment
|
|
to kick in fully. This is usually pretty small, not much
|
|
more than 10 milliseconds (the default value).
|
|
|
|
relaxTime: The amount of time for the amplitude adjustment to be
|
|
released. Usually a bit longer than clampTime if both
|
|
times are too short, you can get some (possibly
|
|
unwanted) artifacts.
|
|
|
|
Example signal to process.
