2.3.7. Compensation mode

---

The compensation mode combo-box chooses how Loudness Compressor measures the output signal while compensation learning is active.

• Average learns a single correction from the mean output loudness over the current render.
• Integrated learns a single correction from integrated output loudness over the current render.

Both modes are intended for learn-then-lock workflows: start learning on a representative pass, then lock the learned correction for normal playback or export.

Compensation adds a stored global offset on top of the normal compressor result. It is applied before the built-in limiter, so the limiter can still protect the configured output ceiling.
