Quick Guide To Compressors
Here's a quick guide to how compressors work & what each parameter does!
• Threshold - Determines the level at which the compression will begin. Any signal that surpasses the threshold you set will cause the compressor to react. The compressor will not respond to any signal that falls below the threshold.
• Ratio - The amount of gain going into the compressor vs the amount of gain coming out of the compressor. For example, if your ratio is set to 3:1 & you have 6dB of gain going into the compressor, then the compressor will reduce it to 2dB.
• Attack - Determines how fast the compressor will begin gain reduction. The faster the attack, the faster the compressor will react & start compressing.
• Release - Determines how quickly the gain reduction will end. The faster the release, the quicker the compression will end.
• Makeup Gain - This allows you to add gain back that is lost during compression. When you compress, you lower the signal, so adding gain back can help bring the volume back up.
• Knee - Determines how forgiving the compressor is when the signal surpasses the threshold. When set to a hard knee, the compressor will react immediately when the signal reaches the threshold. When set to soft, the compressor won't react has dramatically.
• Wet/Dry - This allows you to blend the compressed signal with the uncompressed signal. This knob is excellent for adding parallel compression!
Digital Wax is an alluring blend of modern drums ran through real analog tape processing brewed with vinyl textures sampled from Oracle himself. While creating our most saturated & warm kit, Oracle used some of the greatest samplers of yesteryear & tape machines to process the sounds.
Each individual sound was carefully run through analog gear to give these samples authentic clarity, warmth, real analog saturation, & beef that software just can’t give you. Digital Wax is a fresh sample pack that has been created to bring together the best of both worlds - the past and present.
