General Usage

Compressors are used to compress signals into a certain amplitude range. without a sidechain input, it simply applys the makeup gain. with a sidechain input, the compressors looks for the signal exceeding a theshold, and when it does it will compress the audio input signal. how fast it does this and how quickly it stops doing this, is controlled by attack and release. how much is controlled by the makeup gain and ratio.

auto makeup, looks at the signal level and determines how much gain/reduction to apply.

typical use ( in some musical genres ) : use a bass drum input on the sidechain input, to compress the signal of other musical parts. typically something like a melodic line e.g. pad

Tips

the left and right input/output are independent, so you can use for completely separate mono signals, they wont be mixed. of course, they will share parameters and sidechain input.
