"Classically, a compressor is a big piece of hardware, filled with transistors, tubes, and various electrical components that will ultimately reduce the dynamic range of the audio signal that passes through it. In the digital world, plugin companies have sought to create emulations of these classic compressors."

Learn more about compression in our recent post by Eric Von below!

Compression is the act of reducing dynamic range, or, the area between the softest and loudest part of an audio signal. There are multiple ways to achieve a reduction of dynamic range, such as limiting and distortion/saturation, but the most popular way might be achieved by using a compressor.
