Compressor 276 - Steinberg AXR4T Operation Manual

Compressor 276

Compressor 276 emulates the characteristics of an analog compressor used to apply standard
audio effects in a recording studio. This results in a more solid sound, making it ideal for drum and
bass sounds.
This plug-in can be used in both mono or stereo modes based on the channel configuration of the
audio track. The following parameters are available.
