: Use this to push the signal harder into the compressor, which can result in more aggressive gain reduction. Initial Audio IA-LA1 Compressor v1.0.3

: Since compression reduces the dynamic range and overall volume, use this knob to restore the signal's loudness. : Toggles between lower (compress) and higher (limit)

The is a streamlined VST/AU plugin inspired by classic optical compressors like the Teletronix LA-2A . It is designed for "one-knob" efficiency, removing the need for manual attack and release settings in favor of a program-dependent, automatic algorithm.
