This is an audio compressor/AGC (automatic gain control) with an astonishing 75db input voltage range. A P-Channel JFET is used as a variable resistance element that is applied as a variable ...

In previous episodes of this long-running series looking at the world of high-quality audio, at every point we’ve stayed in the real world of physical audio hardware. From the human ear to the ...

Compression is an absolute staple studio effect. In short, a compressor squeezes an audio signal, reducing the dynamic range resulting in the louder elements sounding less aggressive and increasing ...

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...

Fuse is a handy and easy‑to‑use compressor at a good price, as long as you can live without a few deeper features. No sidechain input. Lacks the depth of some rival multiband processors. MusicRadar's ...
