Setting Multipressor Peak/RMS and Envelope Parameters
Adjusting the parameter between Peak (0 ms, minimum value) and RMS (root mean
square −200 ms, maximum value) is dependent on the type of signal you want to
compress. An extremely short Peak detection setting is suitable for compression of short
and high peaks of low power, which do not typically occur in music. The RMS detection
method measures the power of the audio material over time and thus works much more
musically. This is because human hearing is more responsive to the overall power of the
signal than to single peaks. As a basic setting for most applications, the centered position
is recommended.
