1. What Is Shadaloo Audio DSP “APD COMPRESSOR”?
APD COMPRESSOR is a compressor plugin designed and developed specifically for vocal processing. It responds to the incoming source material, and Threshold, Attack, and Release do not behave as fully independent controls. As the amount of compression changes, the envelope behavior changes along with it.
Key Features
- Texture (OFF / 1–100%): When set to OFF, the Texture stage is completely bypassed. At 1% or higher, a level-dependent harmonic saturation stage placed before the compression is engaged, running at 4x oversampling. It mainly adds 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harmonics, while higher-order harmonics are suppressed
- Threshold (0–100%): approx. 0 dB / -40 dB
- Attack (1–100%): approx. 0.1 / 100 ms, with a signal-adaptive response
- Release (1–100%): approx. 10 / 2000 ms, with program-dependent release behavior
- Output: -24 / +24 dB
- Gain reduction meter: 10 LEDs light up from right to left. The LED thresholds are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 20 dB
