Music Tech: Compression

Fichas del conjunto (17)
- 1What is compression?It is the reduction of the dynamic range
- 2What is dynanic range?The difference between the loudest and quietest points in a song or track
- 3What is the threshold?It is the point where, if passed, the compression acts on the signal
- 4What is gain reduction?The reduction of volume after a signal has been compressed.
- 5What does a threshold diagram look like?

- 6What is ratio (compression)?It is the amount of compression that is applied on a signal.
- 7What does a ratio diagram look like?threshold, 10:1 compression (limiting)

- 8What is attack (compression)?This controls how fast the compression kicks in when a signal exceeds the threshold.
- 9What is release (compression)?This is when the compression stops acting on the signal that passes the threshold.
- 10What is hard knee compression?Hard knee is when the compression is directly applied as soon as a signal passes the threshold.
- 11What is soft knee compression?Soft knee is when a bit of compression is applied just before the signal passes the threshold for a smoother compression.
- 12What does a hard/knee graph look like?

- 13What does a gain reduction metre diagram look like?

- 14What is make up gain?This increases the volume to signals after they have been compressed.
- 15What does a make up gain diagram look like?

- 16What is PPM/RMS?PPM stands for peak program meter which makes thr compressor respond to every single peak which is good for drums with a lot of transient signals though it takes the emotion from a vocal performance which is where RMS (root mean square) comes it which gets an averqge of all the peaks and compreses in a more gentle way, this retains the emotion in a performance.
