Frequently Asked Questions

What does audio compression do?

Audio compression reduces the dynamic range of audio by lowering loud parts and raising quiet parts. This creates more consistent volume levels and professional-sounding recordings.

What is the difference between threshold and ratio?

Threshold determines when compression starts (in dB). Ratio determines how much compression is applied above the threshold. For example, 4:1 ratio means for every 4dB above threshold, only 1dB passes through.

What attack and release settings should I use?

Attack controls how fast compression engages (fast for vocals, slow for drums). Release controls how fast compression recovers (fast for speech, slow for music). Start with presets and adjust to taste.

Does compression reduce audio quality?

Proper compression improves perceived quality by creating consistent levels. Over-compression can reduce dynamics and make audio sound flat. Use moderate settings for best results.

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No! All audio processing happens locally in your browser using Web Audio API. Your files never leave your device, ensuring 100% privacy.

Can I use the output commercially?

Yes, all exports are royalty-free. You can use them for personal or commercial projects.
