19 Dynamic Range Compression
In this chapter, you will learn about the dynamics compressor node. This node allows you to apply dynamic range compression to audio input sources.

Dynamic range compression is the process of automatically attenuating an audio signal when its decibel level exceeds a specified threshold. This is analogous to manually turning down the volume knob on your radio when a piece of music gets too loud and then turning it back up during a quieter passage.
