In addition to the standard AudioworX Compressor, this variant from Harman Professional Audio supports extra features like channel linking, auto mode, ramping and support for external side chain.<\/p>\n<p>In GTT, ProCompressor exposes the following parameters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Makeup gain<\/li>\n<li>Threshold<\/li>\n<li>Attack time<\/li>\n<li>Release time<\/li>\n<li>Compression Ratio<\/li>\n<li>Bypass<\/li>\n<li>Knee Width<\/li>\n<li>Channel Link Id<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This audio object is targeted at Professional Audio usage, specifically.<\/p>\n<p>The ProCompressor is very similar to the AudioworX version of the compressor. The core algorithm remains same. However, it supports extra features like dynamic channel linking, auto mode, ramping and support for external side chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro vs AudioworX Compressor Comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key differences:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The PRO version of the compressor will support channel linking.<\/li>\n<li>The PRO version of the compressor will support Auto Mode.<\/li>\n<li>The PRO version of the compressor will support an external side chain.<\/li>\n<li>The PRO version of the compressor will support ramping of all coefficients wherever possible.<\/li>\n<li>Gain reduction meter must be added.<\/li>\n<li>User controls for Auto Mode and Channel Linking should be present.<\/li>\n<li>User Control per channel needs to be present similar to AWX Limiter.
