  • Page 10 Compressor/Limiter/Sustainer: The function of compressor is to automatically reduce the level of peaks signal so that the overall dynamic range turn out better. Compression or limiting enables even the quietest sections to be made significantly louder while the overall peak level of the material is increases only minimally. In the digital age, the compressor offers great benefits and is especially important in recordings.
