gravity compressor tutorial for sidechain (open remix)

The gravity/green compressor has two inputs and one output The top input is where the audio signal goes into the bottom one is the sidechain input the output is where the main signal outputs Sidechaining is basically using another sound to trigger the compressor, instead of the main signal Threshold: threshold is the level that the signal needs to reach in order for the compressor to start doing its job Ratio: ratio is how much compression is applied to the signal (usually like 2:1 or 4:1, meaning for every 2/4 db the signal exceeds, only 1dB will come out) Knee: knee controls how smoothly or how abruptly the compressor kicks in as the signal approaches the threshold RMS and Peak compression: RMS compresses based on the average loudness on the signal over time Peak compresses based on the highest peaks in the signal
