Compressor output parameters are shown to the right when the Output button is active.
Limiter button: Turn the integrated limiter on or off. Limiting prevents the output of Compressor from exceeding the threshold value.
Limiter Threshold knob and field: Set the threshold level for the limiter.
Lookahead button: Turn on to pre-buffer incoming audio, enabling perfect compression of very fast transients.
Distortion knob: Choose whether to apply clipping above 0 dB, and the type of clipping. Soft, Hard, and Clip reduce the signal around the 0 dB line in different ways, resulting in a smoothed or squared off distortion of the signal peaks.
Mix knob and field: Set the balance between dry (source) and wet (effect) signals. This enables you to either reduce signal peaks (dry), or to increase the level of softer signals (wet).
