Compressor Ratio Calculator vs Flanger Feedback Calculator
Two calculators for the same neighbourhood of questions. Here is what each measures, what you feed in, and where you'd reach for one over the other.
Compressor Ratio Calculator
Determine the output level of a dynamics compressor given an input level, threshold, and ratio. Use this when setting up compression in mixing to predict exactly how much a signal will be attenuated.
- Answers
- Output Level (dB)
- Inputs
- Input Level, Threshold, Compression Ratio
Flanger Feedback Calculator
Calculate the resonance boost in dB produced by a flanger's feedback circuit from a given feedback coefficient. Use it when designing or setting up flangers to understand how much peak emphasis each feedback amount creates.
- Answers
- Resonance Peak (dB)
- Inputs
- Feedback Amount
