The Distressor is an analog VCA compressor with a soft knee and a fixed threshold.Its ratio, attack and release times, and input and output gain are all variable. The device has built-in options for tube and tape distortion emulation and high-pass filtering, as well as a built-in side-chain allowing for the compressed signal (but not the output) to be high-passed, boosted at 6 kilohertz and/or ...
Parallel compression, also known as New York compression, is a dynamic range compression technique used in sound recording and mixing. Parallel compression, a form of upward compression , is achieved by mixing an unprocessed 'dry', or lightly compressed signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal.
Like compression, expansion comes in two types, downward and upward. Downward expansion makes the quiet sounds below the threshold even quieter. A noise gate can be thought of as an extreme form of downward expansion as the noise gate make the quiet sounds (for instance: noise) quieter or even silent, depending on the floor setting. [2]
The LA-2A has simple controls: a Peak-Reduction knob controls the gain of the side-chain circuit, and therefore, the gain reduction; a Gain Control for make-up gain; and a Limit/Compress switch which alters the compression ratio. The VU meter may also be switched to show the gain reduction or output level.
WavPack is a free and open-source lossless audio compression format and application implementing the format. It is unique in the way that it supports hybrid audio compression alongside normal compression which is similar to how FLAC works.

The Fairchild 660 is a tube-based single-channel audio compressor invented by Rein Narma and manufactured by the Fairchild Recording Equipment Corporation beginning in 1959. . The 660 was the first intelligent automatic volume control limiter.
