2.3.8. Compensation gain

---

The compensation gain slider stores an additional global gain offset in dB for Loudness Compressor.

The offset is added to the normal compressor result before the built-in limiter applies its threshold and ceiling. This lets you correct final Average or Integrated loudness while still allowing Peak or True Peak limiting to protect the output ceiling.

When compensation learning is off, you can edit this value directly for manual trim. When learning is on, the slider shows the live learned value, but the stored parameter is only updated once you lock learning.

Use the compensation action button to learn, lock, or reset this value without leaving the Limiter tab.
