2.1.1. Presets

Loudness Compressor’s presets combo-box contains a collection of basic presets, one for each combination of loudness type and latency configuration. The low-latency presets introduce minimal delay, while the look-ahead presets introduce more delay in exchange for the ability to preemptively respond to the source signal.

See look-ahead for an understanding of how delay compensation works in the plug-in.

The preset browser includes user-scope load options for ordinary preset changes. Reset on preset load runs a filtered parameter reset before the preset is applied. Load preset visuals controls whether the preset can change the hinted theme and visualization settings. Full Reset always restores all default parameter values, regardless of these options. Load preset ranges protects source range and target range settings. When disabled, range values are skipped during both the pre-load reset and the preset load. Peak modes have their own units scale and use separate source and target ranges; those sliders are swapped into view automatically when switching between loudness modes. You can switch between loading dark or light themes through the dark mode parameter.

Currently, the following presets are available (“Full Reset” restores all default parameter values):
