'Riding the faders' - Manual compression - i.e. changing the levels depending on what's happening in the music, Automation - Controlling something (volume, pan etc) by drawing in a line in a DAW track, Threshold - Level above which the sound is compressed, Ratio - The amount of compression, Make-up gain - Compensates for reduction in volume that occurs as part of compression process; increases the overall volume after compression, Compression - Squashes the dynamic range, Hard knee - Applies ratio instantly once signal is above the threshold, Soft knee - Gradually applies ratio once signal is above the threshold, Attack - How quickly compression is applied once above the threshold, Release - How long it takes for the compressor to stop compressing once the signal fall below the threshold, Pumping/ducking - Very fast release time results in weird throbbing effect, Sidechain compression - A compressor is triggered by one track, but applied to another, Limiter - Compressor with an extreme setting, with a ratio of >20:1, Expander - Works in the opposite way to a compressor, Noise gate - Reduces any signal to silence when it passes below threshold,
