Side-chain pumping effects to get the right feeling to the volume 'bounce-back'. At longer release times, as shown below, the curve setting can be used to good effect timing/tuning At shorter release (REL) times the tensionД®ffect will be much less visible on the display, but can be very useful for tuning out distortion. NOTE: in the example below the attack was set to 1 ms and release 550 ms so only the release curve is visibly affected by the CURVE setting. This control sets both the Attack and Release curves.

CURVE (Attack & Release curve tension) - Select from curve 1 (immediate attack/release) to 8 (slow attack/release).

The ATT control for the compressor channel does not affect look-ahead. As it's impossible to look into the future, realtime processing is delayed so the incoming audio-stream can be previewed. The purpose is to allow the limiter algorithm to see transients before they arrive, so they can be reacted to instantly. NOTE: The ATT control also sets a ' look-ahead' delay the Limiter channel and so affects the latency of Fruity Limiter.

ATT (Attack time) - Adjusts how quickly the compression envelope responds to the start of the signal (in ms).

NOTE: For the compression stage to become active you must lower the THRESH (Threshold) below the input peaks and increase the RATIO and optionally KNEE controls.

The compression envelope will display while the knob is held. The compression ratio can be set to increase gradually

Sets the transition between no and full compression. Sets the amount of compression to be applied once the threshold is exceeded. To disable the compressor stage set the threshold level to the maximum (0 dB) level. Sets the level above which the signal will be compressed. NOTE: this gain is post-Compressor and pre-Limiter. GAIN (Purple) - Post compression output (makeup) gain.These controls affect the input and compression thresholds for Fruity Limiter.

Of the peak transients, frees up headroom to raise the gain of the sustained portions of the signal (after compression), it is this step that increases loudness. Attack transients (of very short duration) simply don't have as much weight (due to their short duration) as the sustain portion of the sound. The sustain is most important because loudness perception comes fromДЄn integration (averaging) of the preceding 600-1000 ms to any given moment. It transpires that the attack (first ~10 ms) is used mainly to form impressions of timbre, clarity, crispness and punch, while the sustain contributes most to the perception of Start (attack) and body (sustain) portion of sounds. How can reducing the amplitude peaks make the sound seem louder? To understand this we need to consider the way our hearing interprets the Magnitude, speed and timing of the automated gain changes so that the compression process does not introduce artifacts. The art of setting a compressor is mainly in fine-tuning the When the input signal exceeds a predetermined threshold the rate of increase is slowed (or even stopped) beyond that point. In the case of the LimiterД¬ompression is a form of automated gain control that reduces theДynamic range of sounds. NOTE: To use the Compressor or Limiter in isolation, turn the Limiter CEIL or Compressor THRESH to their maximum value respectively. The signal flow goes from the input to the Compressor (COMP), Gain, Limiter (with integrated Noise Gate), Saturation (SAT) and finally to the plugin output.
