NYCompressor For Mac

The goal of compressing audio signals is to even out the loudness level.  By taming the peaks in the signal, the overall level can be increased, thus leading to more “punch” or “impact”.

This is only half of the story: a compressor typically has “attack” and “release” controls in addition to “threshold” and “ratio”.

By setting the attack time you can control how fast the compressor reacts when detecting an input level above the compression threshold.

Conversely, the release time determines how fast the gain reduction is released when the input signal has fallen below the threshold again. The attack and release times have to be adjusted to the signal that is to be compressed in order to get the best results.

There is an NYCompressor AU (Audio Unit) as well as an NYCompressor VST version
