eli5: how do compresors work? Audio related.
In: 12
Imagine you’re snuggled up with your favorite stuffed animal watching Netflix late at night, but it’s hard to hear the quiet parts. So you turn them up. Then there’s an explosion and you rush to turn it down.
A compressor does that automatically, adjusting levels so that there’s less variation. This making things easier to hear (especially speech) but possibly making them less exciting if you overdo it.
