Gravity (Compressor)

Gravity Compressor Device

Essentials

Gravity is a full-featured compressor with Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack, Release, Gain, RMS Window, and Sidechain. Use for tight, punchy mixes or creative sidechain effects. Automatically turns down loud parts when they exceed the threshold.

  • Threshold, ratio, knee, attack, release, gain

  • RMS detection window control

  • Tempo-syncable release time

  • Sidechain input

  • Tight, punchy mixes

  • Creative sidechain effects

Compression

Gravity Compression

Threshold

Level at which compression begins (-40 to 0 dB)

Ratio

Amount of gain reduction above threshold (1:1 to 50:1)

Knee

Transition softness around threshold (0-24 dB)

Attack

Time to start compressing after threshold (0-1000 ms)

Release

Time to stop compressing after falling below threshold. Can be tempo-synced or free-running (0-1000 ms when unsynced, or tempo-quantized when synced)

RMS Window

Duration of the detection window for RMS mode (0-30 ms). At 0 ms, compression triggers on the first peak sample

Sidechain

External input triggers compression instead of the main input signal

Output

Gravity Output

Gain

Makeup gain after compression (-24 to +24 dB equivalent)

On/Off

Activates or bypasses the compressor effect

Practical Tips

Practical Tips

  • Fast attack: control peaks (vocals, snares).

  • Slow attack: preserve punch in drums.

  • High ratio: intense compression/limiting.

  • Sidechain: create movement and mix space in dense arrangements.
