Swh-plugins # might also be called ladspa-swh-plugins In recorded and live music, compression parameters may be adjusted by an audio engineer to change the way the effect sounds.Ĭommon names: audio compressor, automatic gain control, volume normalization, sound normalizer, loudness equalization, loudness equalizer
The dedicated electronic hardware unit or audio software used to apply compression is called a compressor. Compression is commonly used in sound recording and reproduction and broadcasting and on instrument amplifiers.Īudio compression reduces loud sounds which are above a certain threshold while quiet sounds remain unaffected. tried googling this for 'years' no results xD gotbletu/shownotes/blob/master/pulseaudio-dynamic-range-compression.md # Loudness Equalizer aka Pulseaudio Dynamic Range Compression (LADSPA swh-plugins)ĭynamic range compression (DRC) or simply compression reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds by narrowing or 'compressing' an audio signal's dynamic range.
testing it now.ĮDIT: Jepp this is definately working and is what i was looking for! thanks for help tho. I think i actually found what i was looking for.
