This task is done by reducing the system gain, when the signal exceeds a certain threshold.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, compressors have been electronic equipment with one or two rack units, but software versions of them have appeared for some years.<\/p>\n<p>A compressor acts in such a way that it attenuates the electrical signal by a certain amount (normally measured in decibels) and from a certain input level. The objective is to ensure that the resulting dynamic excursion is lower than the original, to protect certain equipment against possible signal peaks or, if it is a saturated sound, to try to hide the error.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/what-is-an-audio-compressor\/#Reasons_to_compress_a_signal\" >Reasons to compress a signal<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/what-is-an-audio-compressor\/#Compressor_Uses\" >Compressor Uses<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_to_compress_a_signal\"><\/span>Reasons to compress a signal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>-Control the energy of the signal: The human ear is very sensitive, so the compression must be smooth and subtle so as not to capture it. This type of compression is used when there is a signal in which the intensity varies, so it is compressed to achieve a more constant signal within the values \u200b\u200bassigned to it.<\/p>\n<p>-Control the peak level of the signal: Often the equipment is limited, so the amplifiers can saturate and therefore be damaged. In this case the compression is used to control the signal and thus protect the equipment.<\/p>\n<p>-Reduce the dynamic range of the signal: By attenuating the peaks of a signal, we reduce its dynamic range. Many devices are limited by the peaks, and this allows the RMS level of the signal to be raised.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Analog-to-Digital-500x241.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-353\" src=\"http:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Analog-to-Digital-500x241-300x145.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Analog-to-Digital-500x241-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Analog-to-Digital-500x241.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compressor_Uses\"><\/span>Compressor Uses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the field of music, its use ranges from applications for musical recordings to live sound. For example, it is often used to add more glued to the sound, an effect that is achieved by compressing the signal to subsequently apply a gain to the output of the device, which usually conceals possible interpretation failures by the artist, at least as Dynamic control refers. A compressor is highly recommended (and with certain musical styles, indispensable) for when using an electric bass. The slapping effect (hitting the strings with the finger) produces extremely high output peaks (20 dB or 10 times more than normal), which at low output levels generate distortion, and at high volumes (as in recitals) they can cause serious damage to the amplifier, and even the speaker (an excess of &#8220;excursion&#8221; can cause the speaker to tear from its suspension). Even in the (theoretical) case of a musical system with an infinite dynamic range, the difference, auditory speaking, using or not the compressor is imperceptible. Its use is also very frequent in voices, since not all singers use the appropriate technique so the signal level varies constantly.<\/p>\n<p>-It is widely used in broadcasting, to improve the speaker&#8217;s diction.<br \/>\n-Compress during mastering improves the sound definition of the final mix.<br \/>\n-To protect the equipment (speakers).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the field of professional sound, a compressor is an electronic sound processor designed to reduce the dynamic range of the signal without noticing its presence too much.
