What does a compressor actually do?

0

Compressors allow you to tame levels of a recording and enhance them in a pleasing way. This can range from peak reduction applications where only the most prominent peaks are turned down and without looking at the waveform you wouldn’t know the difference through to heavy pumping effects in dance music. Good compressors impart their own tone and character on a sound and should put a smile on your face when you use them on your recordings. They can make things sound better.
