Page 15: Stereo 2 Bands Compressor
Input Output Gain Level Detector Control A compressor's input/output relationship is often described by a simple graph: The horizontal axis corresponds to the input signal level, and the vertical axis is the output level (both measured in decibels) . A line at 45 degrees corresponds to a gain of one - any input level is mapped to exactly the same output level. -
