Description

AudioCompressor adjusts the dynamic range of audio streams. Any momentary bursts of loudness will be clamped down according to the compressor's properties.

AudioCompressor provides Input and Sidechain pins that can be targeted by Wire.TargetName, and an Output pin that can be used by Wire.SourceName.

History 30

Members 11

Attack

TypeDefault
float

Time, in seconds, denoting how quickly the compressor will clamp down on volume after it surpasses Threshold. Ranges from 0.0001 to 0.5.

History 3

Bypass

TypeDefault
bool

If true, audio streams are passed-through unaffected by this effect.

History 2

Editor

TypeDefault
bool
This property is not replicated. Its interface does not cross the network boundary.

GetConnectedWires

Parameters (1)
pinstring
Returns (1)
Instances

Returns an array of Wires that are connected to the specified pin. AudioCompressor has one "Input" pin, one "Sidechain" pin, and one "Output" pin.

History 5

GetInputPins

Parameters (0)
No parameters.
Returns (1)
Array

Gets the list of pins that Wire can use in Wire.TargetName to connect to this instance via its Wire.TargetInstance property.

For AudioCompressor, these are:

  • Input
  • Sidechain

History 1

GetOutputPins

Parameters (0)
No parameters.
Returns (1)
Array

Gets the list of pins that Wire can use in Wire.SourceName to connect to this instance via its Wire.SourceInstance property.

For AudioCompressor, this is Output only.

History 1

MakeupGain

TypeDefault
float

Gain value to be applied after compression, in decibels. After limiting the dynamic range, the resulting stream may be very quiet and this property can be used to compensate. Ranges from -30 to 30.

History 3

Ratio

TypeDefault
float

Ratio of input volume to output volume, to be applied when surpassing Threshold. For example, a value of 2 will cut the amount by which the input stream exceeds the threshold in half whenever the input stream does so. Ranges from 1 to 50.

History 3

Release

TypeDefault
float

Time, in seconds, denoting how quickly the compressor will unclamp after its stream volume dips back below Threshold. Ranges from 0.01 to 5.

History 3

Threshold

TypeDefault
float

Gain value at which the compressor will start to modify the input stream, in decibels, with a range of -60 to 0. When the input stream's volume surpasses Threshold, the compressor will take Attack seconds to kick in. When the input stream's volume recedes below Threshold, the compressor will take Release seconds to stop acting.

If any Wires are connected to the Sidechain pin of the compressor, this threshold analyzes those streams instead of the Input streams; this can be used to duck the volume of one stream in response to another.

History 3

WiringChanged

Parameters (4)
connectedbool
pinstring
wireWire
instanceInstance

Event that fires after a Wire becomes connected or disconnected, and that Wire is now or was previously connected to a pin on the AudioCompressor and to some other wirable instance.
