Compressor

Uncompressed:

A simple sine wave that drops off by 6 dB at half time, to demonstrate how some compressors handle signals.

After:

The attack part of where the compressor is working is clearly visible at the start of the audio.

The release part still affects some audio that is beneath the threshold as the compressors gain change slowly ebbs out and the material fades back to normal level.
