NYCompressor Description

An audio compressor that provides you all the tools that you need when it comes to dynamics management in a mix The goal of compressing audio signals is to even out the loudness level. By taming the peaks in the signal, the overall level can be increased, thus leading to more “punch” or “impact”. This is only half of the story: a compressor typically has “attack” and “release” controls in addition to “threshold” and “ratio”. By setting the attack time you can control how fast the compressor reacts when detecting an input level above the compression threshold. Conversely, the release time determines how fast the gain reduction is released when the input signal has fallen below the threshold again. The attack and release times have to be adjusted to the signal that is to be compressed in order to get the best results. For short, percussive signals, shorter times usually lead to better results, while vocals, guitars etc. usually benefit from somewhat longer attack and release times. Ultimately, the release time can also be used for artistic purposes to create a “pumping” effect. To this end, the release time should be of the order of several 100 milliseconds (the exact value depending on the beats per minute of the track you are working on). There is an NYCompressor AU (Audio Unit) as well as an NYCompressor VST version; choose the one that fits your host program. If you use the AU version, store the .component file in your AU component directory (usually /Library/Audio/Plugins/Components). For the VST version use the appropriate VST directory (typically /Library/Audio/Plugins/VST). Limitations: · If you use the demo version of the NYCompressor, the settings will not be · saved when saving a project/song. Apart from that there are no other restrictions so you can fully explore the possibilities of this effect.
