Should I compress my audio?

Too much compression can make your tracks distort. This distortion can sound cool on a rock mix, but most of the time you won't want your mix to sound super compressed. To avoid over-compression but still keep your levels in check, automate the volume of your tracks.

Does a compressor reduce volume?

Compressors lower the volume of loud peaks–they even out the notes that stick out in the mix. That's good because it allows you to bring up the gain of the whole signal without clipping.

What does a compressor do in audio?

Compressors and limiters are used to reduce dynamic range — the span between the softest and loudest sounds. Using compression can make your tracks sound more polished by controlling maximum levels and maintaining higher average loudness.

How do I compress an audio file?

Choose the audio file you want to compress from the folder on your device. When the file is open, it will start to play automatically, so get ready to press the pause button if you don't want to make any noise. Toggle on the compress option, and choose the encoding and bitrate of your choice.
