The Dynamics processors control the perceived loudness of your audio, add focus and
punch to tracks and projects, and optimize the sound for playback in different situations.
The dynamic range of an audio signal is the range between the softest and loudest parts
of the signal—technically, between the lowest and highest amplitudes. Dynamics
processors enable you to adjust the dynamic range of individual audio files, tracks, or an
overall project. This can be to increase the perceived loudness and/or to highlight the
most important sounds, while ensuring that softer sounds are not lost in the mix.

About Dynamics Processors
The Dynamics processors in Soundtrack Pro fall into four different categories:
• Compressors: Soundtrack Pro features a number of downward compressors. These
behave like an automatic volume control, lowering the volume whenever it rises above
a certain level, called the threshold. So, why would you want to reduce the dynamic
level?
