Known for its fast attack and fast release.A classic solid-state FET from 1968 originally designed by Bill Putnam.Often used to give an impression of loudness and impact or just to get too soft parts up without moving the fader. Compression in sound means reducing the dynamic range for more level control. Like equalizer, It is used a lot in music recording and mixing. Music compression is a technique for controlling dynamic range in music material.
The quality of the new ones is usually higher due to competition and modern DAW hardware but some old classics are still good and CPU efficient.įor this article, we have chosen some example plugins from every overall compressor type and design category. It responds how I remember it.Today the plugin marked is flooded with countless plugins for music compression. The Native instruments VC2A is probably my favourite version in a plugin. I used a hardware one constantly in 1990's when I was a studio recording engineer.
I use this style of compressor as a leveller. Great for bass, guitars, keys, and vocals (in conjunction with another compressor like an 1176 if you need to deal with a vocalist's transients). It leaves transients alone and averages out the signal over time. Gain would make the panel inside brighter optically and then you adjust the peak to control the amount of compression (how much of the light the photo cell responds to). You control it by using the input gain and peak together. It worked using a luminescent panel as an input and photocells 'seeing' and adapting the compression ration and release, if the photo cell sees light it continues to work.
If it was modelled properly then the attack/release and the ratio are dependent on the source signal but generally the original Teletronix was a 10ms attack time, a 4:1 ratio and the release was around 60ms on quick signals with a further hold from 1s - 15s depending on the signal.
