GComp2 Description

GComp2 is a simplified compressor that also includes lo- and hi-cut filters, a gate, and visual feedback on how the signal has been affected. Hints The visual feedback is only a tool, with your ears being the ultimate Judge of having selected appropriate settings. Each of the components of GComp2 has more sophisticated counterparts in the GVST suite of plug-ins; however, GComp2 is excellent for combining these into one elegant interface. In addition to changing the "Compress" parameter, reducing or increasing gain to the incoming signal will affect the way it is compressed. Interface The GUI features a set of 8 knobs which control all of the plug-in's parameters. Each is clearly labelled above, with a user-editable readout below. In addition to the knobs, a window to the right provides a visual cue as to how your source material has been affected. The darker "shadow" waveform represents the original source material, while the brighter Cyan shows the resulting post-processing audio. The signal path is illustrated on the GUI itself. Incoming audio goes first to the Gain and filter stage, after which it is gated and compressed according to user settings, with the resulting waveform displayed to the right. Finally, the user may also apply manual gain to the effected signal. Gain: Gain is the level or "volume" of the source material. At 0dB, the original signal passes through. By increasing or reducing gain, the rest GComp2's parameters are drastically affected. Lo Cut: Any frequencies below this setting are removed from the source material. Hi Cut: Frequencies above this setting are eliminated from the incoming audio signal. Gate: Actually an expander, the incoming signal is turned down once it Drops below the defined threshold. Compress: One knob combines the "threshold" and "ratio" parameters found on most compressors. With a higher rate of compression, there is a lower threshold (level at which compression is triggered) .
