Ratio (DRP)

In [dynamic range processing], the ratio is the severity of signal attenuation or gain that is applied when a [signal] passes the threshold of the effect.

• Represents change in input signal ([dB]) compared to change in output signal (dB)

e.g. [compression] ratio of 4:1

• above threshold, if input signal increases by 4 dB, output signal is attenuated so that the increase is only 1 dB
