Comp question

[The Chase]

Technically speaking, there is usually no difference between input gain and threshold in most compressor designs. Threshold is used to adjust the volume of the key signal used to drive compression schematics without changing the actual input gain whereas In Gain adjusts the input signal before it is transformed into key signal.

So, usually having both is not reasonable.

Yea that's what I always figured - Input brings the signal towards the threashold; Threshold adjustment brings the threshold level to the input signal.

Still nice to have both though.

As i thought then thanks for cleaning that up for me Aleksey
