Compressor/Limiters

Analogue Compressors and limiters are dynamic processing tools used in recording studios to control the dynamic range of audio signals. A compressor works by reducing the level of the loudest parts of a signal, while leaving the quieter parts unaffected. This can help to even out the overall volume of a recording and make it sound more consistent. Limiters work similarly to compressors, but they have a more aggressive ratio and a fixed threshold that won’t allow the signal to go above a certain level. This can be useful for preventing clipping or distortion when recording signals with a high dynamic range. In addition to controlling dynamic range, compressors and limiters can also be used creatively to add character and colour to a recording. For example, some compressors have a “vintage” or “analogue” sound that can add warmth or saturation to a recording, while others can provide a more transparent or clean sound. Some compressors even have specific settings for different instruments or types of signals, such as vocals or drums. Choosing the right compressor or limiter for a particular recording can be a crucial part of the mixing process, as it can greatly affect the final sound of the track.
