Attack & Release Explained ⬇️

Attack & Release are two parameters on a compressor that control how quickly the compressor starts, and how quickly it stops compressing the signal

The Attack determines how quickly the compressor reacts to the incoming signal above the threshold.

The Release determines how quickly the compressor stops compressing, when the signal falls below the threshold.

A short attack time will catch transients and peaks in the signal.

While a longer attack time will allow more of the initial transient to pass through uncompressed.

A faster release time will allow the compressor to return to normal state quickly.

While a slower release time will let the compressed signal decay more gradually.
