Information for digital or analog platforms (hardware and software plugins). This information should be useful for bands, musicians, techs, houses of worship / church audio, home recording, audio students, church audio and theater volunteers, etc..
Applicable to both digital and analog audio consoles as well as digital audio workstations (DAW).
Compression is helpful to tame peaks or reduce the dynamic range of material. That could be music or speech, instruments or vocals. It can help to smooth out mixes, or bring certain things to the front. Like anything, it can be subjective, and it can be over-used or under-used. Learning terms like Ratio, Threshold, Attack, Release, Makeup Gain, and understanding what 2:1, 3 to 1, etc. all mean helps you better understand how to use audio compression in musical performances, speeches, etc..
