a question about the supplied compressor in Mairlist 6.3
There are 3 settings Threshold in dB, and Attack and Release
However, I do not see the numbers before the decimal point as seconds and so after the decimal point the tenths and hundredths.
How should I read these numbers is the question.
Also a setting for this compressor to start with please. (for pop music and Dance Classics)
The compressor is provided by the bass_fx.dll plugin. The meaning of the parameters is documented in its source code.
For the regular “Compressor”:
// Compressor (deprecated)
BASS_BFX_COMPRESSOR = record
fThreshold: Single; // compressor threshold [0<=...<=1]
fAttacktime: Single; // attack time ms [0<.<=1000]
fReleasetime: Single; // release time ms [0<.<=5000]
lChannel: Integer; // BASS_BFX_CHANxxx flag/s
end;
For the “Advanced Compressor”:
// Compressor 2
BASS_BFX_COMPRESSOR2 = record
fGain: Single; // output gain of signal after compression [-60....60] in dB
fThreshold: Single; // point at which compression begins [-60.....0] in dB
fRatio: Single; // compression ratio [1.......n]
fAttack: Single; // attack time in ms [0.01.1000]
fRelease: Single; // release time in ms [0.01.5000]
lChannel: Integer; // BASS_BFX_CHANxxx flag/s
end;
