  1. Ok wait hit another snag...... with a ratio of 4:1, when the (time averaged) input level is 4 dB over the threshold, the output signal level will be 1 dB over the threshold. The gain (level) has been reduced by 3 dB. When the input level is 8 dB above using the 4:1, the output level will be 2 dB; a 6 dB gain reduction. BUT what if something is set 4:1 but input level only goes 2dB above threshold. Does the compressor still work? Even though the input level hasn't gone 4dB above threshold?
  2. got it this explains it clearly thanks all For example, with a ratio of 4:1, when the (time averaged) input level is 4 dB over the threshold, the output signal level will be 1 dB over the threshold. The gain (level) has been reduced by 3 dB. When the input level is 8 dB above the threshold, the output level will be 2 dB; a 6 dB gain reduction.
  3. Dan I know that the higher the threshold the more compression just trying to understand it for my own curiosity. For instance if threshold is at 0db and ratio is 8:1. If something goes over the threshold by 2dB is it pushed down to -6dB
  4. 6.75dB how could that be if the signal didn't go above 0dB? Asking math wise because I want to understand it clearly. Losing my mid ha!
  5. Ok I know if you use 4:1 ratio and threshold is set at -12dB then that means if signal comes in at say -3dB it will be compressed down to -7dB is that right?
  6. thanks. would there be any delay sluggishness when playing a program using samples or a song with a few programs VSTs going using samples since it is 500gb? Is 32mb better then the 16mb option. Though the search time on the 16mb seems faster?
  7. I need to get a new 2nd hard drive right now I am running out of space on it. From tons of samples from programs. Will have a large 2nd HD affect recording? 500GB
