WHY CHOOSE THIS AUDIO EFFECT?

This stereo compressor is a dynamic range processor designed to control the loudness of a stereo signal in a balanced and musical way. It reduces the difference between the quietest and loudest parts of the sound, helping maintain consistency, punch, and cohesion across both left and right channels.

The effect works by monitoring the input level against a set threshold. When the audio exceeds this threshold, the compressor reduces its gain according to the chosen ratio. The attack and release parameters shape how quickly the compression responds to changes in signal level, while makeup gain restores volume lost during compression. An input control can also adjust the signal level before it hits the compressor stage.

Because this processor links the left and right channels, both sides are compressed together, preventing the stereo image from shifting unnaturally. This makes it ideal for full mixes, drum buses, instruments, or any situation where stereo balance must remain intact.

The result can be subtle and transparent — gently smoothing out dynamics — or more aggressive, adding punch, density, and character to the sound.
