The next plug-in is a silver compressor. Now the silver compressor is a plug-in that compresses
sound, much like the other compressor, but it's just a different model. And what we're
going to do is we're going to go into compression within dynamics, and look for the silver compressor.
Now when using this compressor, there's only a few things you can change as far as the
ratio attack release and the threshold. This is a very simple compressor, but it works
very well. What you can do is try to change the gain, try to change the ratio to around
four. Four is always a good starting point when using compression. Now compression, what
it's going to do when it reaches a certain threshold, it's going to reduce it by a certain
ratio that you choose. Now, this threshold is also being chosen by you with this threshold
button right here. So whenever the signal goes below that, above that, you're going
to actually see gain reduction go down. So when you have this track, by turning down
the threshold, you can actually see where the track's being effected. You can also change
the attack and the release to mold the compression around the track. This is going to help a
lot and make your track really easy to use, or your track really easy to listen to by
taking the softer parts and making them level with the loudest parts.
