Sets the level above which compression begins.
Sets the amount by which the signal is compressed. At 1 there is no compres-
sion and the output signal equals the input signal. At the maximum setting
signal levels are "clamped" to the threshold level (i.e., the compressor acts as a
limiter).
Sets the time to reach maximum compression once a signal exceeds the thresh-
old level.
Sets the time for compression to cease after a signal goes below the threshold
level.
The compressor delays the signal for a few ms, enabling the algorithm to "know"
what is coming. This improves the clarity of transients in the sound, if wanted.
Controls the output level of the compressed signal.
