2.1.8. Ballistics type


The ballistics type combo-box allows you to change the compressor’s ballistics behavior.

  • Natural (dithered) applies light dithering to natural ballistics deltas.
  • Natural (direct) applies normal smooth attack and release ballistics.
  • Inertial (dithered) applies light dithering to inertial ballistics deltas.
  • Inertial (direct) applies attack and release ballistics with inertia.

Inertial ballistics are more responsive to sudden changes in loudness, but may sound less natural.

Dithering can help reduce quantization noise, but may be less accurate
