Lookahead: This control sets the amount of time that the input signal will be delayed.Knee: This control adjusts how quickly the compressor responds as the input level approaches the threshold.Show Activity view: Useful for visualizing what happens with the signal over time.

Show Transfer Curve view: Compressor will show an Input/Output transfer curve.Show collapsed view: Compressor only shows the most essential parameters.Out: This knob sets the amount of gain applied to the signal after compression.GR: This meter shows the amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor.Threshold: Sets the input level at which the compression will start.Auto: When this option is engaged, the attack and release times are automatically adjusted based on the incoming audio signal.Release: This knob sets how long it takes compression to stop after the signal has fallen below the threshold.Attack: This knob sets how long it takes to reach maximum compression after the signal exceeds the threshold.Ratio: This knob sets the ratio of compression between the input and the output.It is easy to see from the previous picture, the Compressor audio effect has several parameters that can be explained as: Drag and Drop the Compressor audio effect on top of the audio track labeled as “1 Audio”.Īs soon as this effect has been dropped on top of the track, it is easy to see how the Compressor audio effect now appears on the device view of the track.

One of the most used inserts that come with Ableton Live is the Compressor, which can be defined as a device that affects the dynamic range of a signal by bringing down the level of the loudest parts, making the loud and quiet parts closer together in volume, ultimately yielding volume differences that are less obvious.įor the purpose of this tutorial, we will explain how to use the Compressor audio effect in Ableton Live 10: Ableton Live comes with a variety of proprietary plugins (effects) that can help the user mix a music production completely “in-the-box”. Plugins can emulate the behavior of vintage analog pieces of gear, or simply act as clean/linear digital signal processors, performing tasks such as equalization, compression, limiting, expansion, gating, time-domain effects, etc. On the modern days of audio mixing, the digital tools that engineers use in order to shape the recorded sound are called Plugins.
