- Compressor processing is a function that measures the level of the input signal and outputs it by applying a volume curve as shown in FIG.
- a boundary level with respect to an input signal called a threshold is given in advance, and when a volume higher than the threshold is input, the volume is reduced according to the specified compression amount.
- the multiband compressor performs the compressor process independently for each frequency band, so that even if the volume of a certain frequency band fluctuates rapidly, it does not affect other frequency bands.

- the setting value of the multiband compressor can be determined in advance by any of the following methods.
- the frequency band is set so that the power input to each band is equal. Use the same setting for each compressor, or at least the same threshold.
- Relative Threshold Fixing Method This is an adjustment method that equalizes the compression amount of each band so that the frequency-power distribution does not fluctuate greatly before and after the processing.
- the frequency band can be freely set by auditory evaluation. Subsequently, the power when an average distribution signal is input by the above formula is calculated, and a value obtained by adding a negative fixed value (for example, ⁇ 6 dB) to the power is set as a threshold.
- a negative fixed value for example, ⁇ 6 dB
- one of the parameters that affect each other in the adjustment of the multi-band compressor can be fixed, and the degree of freedom of adjustment can be reduced, making adjustment extremely easy. Become. Further, by performing adjustment based on the average signal, an appropriate volume enhancement effect can be obtained regardless of what signal is input.
