Description

This element can act as a compressor or expander. A compressor changes the amplitude of all samples above a specific threshold with a specific ratio, a expander does the same for all samples below a specific threshold. If soft-knee mode is selected the ratio is applied smoothly.

Property Details

The "characteristics" property

  "characteristics"          GstAudioDynamicCharacteristics  : Read / Write

Selects whether the ratio should be applied smooth (soft-knee) or hard (hard-knee).

Default value: Hard Knee (default)


The "mode" property

  "mode"                     GstAudioDynamicMode   : Read / Write

Selects whether the filter should work on loud samples (compressor) orquiet samples (expander).

Default value: Compressor (default)


The "ratio" property

  "ratio"                    gfloat                : Read / Write

Ratio that should be applied.

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 1


The "threshold" property

  "threshold"                gfloat                : Read / Write

Threshold until the filter is activated.

Allowed values: [0,1]

Default value: 0
