    "...bring the soft sounds and the loud sounds closer together." Best explanation for a compressor ever. Summed up.

    Man, for a long time I just nodded my head and said, 'right, I got it,' when people talked about compression. Within two minutes, you explained to me how I need to think about this function. 2:1 - 2 dBs in, 1 dB out. It explained the vagaries of dynamic range and loudness. Our first CD is quieter than most other CDs and now I know why. We chose to use very little compression (due to great horn players) which made the mastering much more difficult. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
